CIVICPLUS WEBSITE DESIGN PROPOSAL <br />Reeder stated Staff has solicited proposals from five different companies to redesign the City's website <br />and that Staff would recommend going with CivicPlus, with the addition of set-up for a splash page for a <br />total amount of $29,776. The option will allow the City to provide emails specific to the residents' <br />interests and is a temporary solution until the redesigned website is up and running. <br />Seals stated it is pretty clear the City's website is antiquated and needs some updating. Seals noted the <br />City has the funds and that anything they can do to make the website more user-friendly will likely <br />alleviate the number of phone calls being answered by Staff. <br />Walsh noted the project timeline is approximately five to six months. <br />Reeder stated this company has met that kind of deadline many times. Reeder stated in his view the <br />online training will be fine. Reeder stated the new website will be a big improvement and will be very <br />compatible with an iPhone. In addition, CivicPlus has suggested reducing the amount of material on the <br />front page and will archive a lot of it instead. <br />Walsh commented technology has changed a lot since the website was originally designed and that the <br />new website will be a lot easier for everyone to use. <br />Seals moved, Dankey seconded, to accept the proposal from CivicPlus for the total redesign of the <br />City's website with the addition of setup of splash page at $4,000 for a total amount of $29,776. <br />VOTE: Ayes 5, Nays 0. <br />1011 111/11111111.9 06,&V 704 ZeIT11 <br />City Attorney Mattick stated he had nothing to report. <br />ADJOURNMENT <br />Crosby moved, Dankey seconded, to adjourn the Orono City Council meeting at 9:28 p.m. VOTE: <br />Ayes 5, Nays 0. <br />ATTEST: <br />Anna Carlson, City Clerk Dennis Walsh, Mayor <br />Page 13 of 13 <br />
