MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO PARK COMMISSION MEETING <br />Monday, March 2, 2015 <br />7:00 o'clock p.m. <br />Bryce Johnson noted the Park Commission has identified the website as one of their top priorities for this <br />year and that he would like to see them go to the next step, such as what investment is required. <br />Berg stated in her view this is a key work session topic. <br />Meyer stated the website is a way to let people know what is happening with the parks and that they <br />should get the City's IT person involved. <br />Edwards stated the City has a master contract for their website and that the local webmaster can make <br />some minor changes and add some links at no extra cost. Edwards stated changing out text and adding or <br />deleting photos is pretty routine and can be done by the administrative staff. <br />Edwards stated he is not aware if the City has the capabilities in-house to do the interactive maps. <br />Edwards indicated the City's IT person does not have anything to do with the City's website and that <br />currently the website is updated by one of the administrative staff. <br />Meyer suggested Commissioners Ruegemer and Johnson find out what can be accomplished in-house and <br />what needs to be outsourced. <br />Pesek asked how many visitors a month the website receives. <br />Edwards stated that information can be provided. <br />Ruegemer stated people will not routinely use the website if it is difficult to navigate. <br />Meyer stated information in the City's newsletter can be included whenever any updates are made to the <br />website as well as the parks and that he does not want to undertake projects to different parks if people are <br />not aware of the improvements. <br />Brenda Johnson indicated they will speak with Staff about what they are proposing and see what kind of <br />approach should be taken. <br />Levang suggested the Public Works Director speak with the City Administrator fust since she would be <br />the one to make the decision and not the administrative staff. <br />Meyer suggested a work session be scheduled, with the Public Works Director meeting with the City <br />Administrator before to that. <br />Edwards recommended a meeting with Brenda, Julie, and the webmaster be scheduled. Edwards stated <br />he knows fixing some of the smaller items will be pretty easy to do, but the longer term goal is how to <br />make the website better. <br />Berg stated it sounds like the website is being redesigned and that it may be necessary to hire ; t <br />professional. <br />Levang stated as it relates to the golf course, the City set up a separate website, which would be an option <br />for how some of the specifics could be handled.
