VOTE: Ayes 5, Nays 0. <br />22. WEBSITE DESIGNER PROPOSALS <br />Reeder stated Staff has received three proposals for the redesign of the City's website. <br />Walsh stated the Communications Committee has talked with three groups about updating the City's <br />website. Walsh stated the high-end firms are likely out of the City's budget but that there were a couple <br />of local firms that have all the capabilities the City is looking for. Walsh stated the City needs a good <br />functional website that describes the things the City does, contains appropriate content, and highlights <br />everything the City is doing. <br />Walsh stated the City Council has three proposals before them and he would like the City Council to pick <br />one to get the process going. <br />Seals stated she met with Linnihan and Eleven. Seals stated Linnihan is great but that price -wise they are <br />not in the realm of what the City can spend. Seals stated she also is not quite ready to move forward with <br />West Lake since their proposal was basically what is found on their website. Seals stated there did not <br />appear to be much thought put into how they would take on the City as a client. <br />Seals suggested the Council direct Staff to have a discussion with Eleven and West Lake and to create a <br />list of the items that they would like to see on the ideal website. Seals noted she does not work in City <br />Hall and that she has not been receiving complaints about the website. Seals stated it appears that West <br />Lake is a good financial decision but that the City is tied into it for three years. Seals stated she would <br />feel better if those two entities would come in and talk to Staff, have Staff tell them what they would like <br />to see happen with the website, and then ask them to make one final proposal. <br />Walsh stated the City is not in a big hurry and that this item could be tabled so Staff can receive <br />additional feedback. <br />Crosby stated the companies' dealings with other cities would also be helpful to know as well. <br />Seals moved, Crosby seconded, to direct Staff to speak further with Eleven and West Lake Web <br />Works. VOTE: Ayes 5, Nays 0. <br />*23. CLAIMS/BILLS <br />Printup moved, Seals seconded, to approve payment of the All Funds Account. VOTE: Ayes5, <br />Nays 0. <br />Page 31 of 32 <br />
