Walsh stated the facility is <br />approximately 20 years old and that the improvements will help bring the facility up to speed with the <br />other arenas in the area. <br />CITY ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT <br />18. SELECTION OF WEBSITE DESIGNER <br />Reeder reviewed his Staff memorandum dated July 24, 2017, regarding the selection of a website <br />designer. Six vendors were interviewed and the committee is recommending a company called CivicPlus. <br />The estimated cost is between $20,000 and $30,000 depending on what type of service and training the <br />City desires. Staff recommends the City enter into an agreement with CivicPlus. <br />Seals stated the City's current website lacks functionality. Some of the goals with the redesign are to <br />make the website is more user friendly and to have all the City's media talk to each other. Seals stated <br />CivicPlus seemed to understand the way cities work and the amount of information that is typically <br />contained on a city website. Seals stated in her view CivicPlus is a good option. <br />Seals noted the funds are coming from the PEG fees generated by Mediacom. Seals asked how often the <br />City evaluates Mediacom's effectiveness in the community. <br />Mattick stated in terms of effectiveness, the franchise agreement is still relatively new and Staff has not <br />really evaluated the quality of service. Mattick stated the City negotiated into the franchise agreement the <br />areas that would be served by Mediacom, which expanded the coverage area. Mattick stated to his <br />understanding Mediacom has complied with that requirement and that no particular violation of the <br />agreement has been identified. <br />Seals stated she would be interested in hearing whether the City has received any complaints regarding <br />the service. <br />Mattick stated Staff can review the franchise agreement and the Council can ask Mediacom to attend a <br />Council meeting and provide an update. <br />Walsh concurred that it would be good to have an update from Mediacom. <br />Seals moved, Dankey seconded, to authorize Staff to enter into an agreement with CivicPlus to <br />design a new website for the City of Orono. VOTE: Ayes 3, Nays 0. <br />CITY ATTORNEY'S REPORT <br />Mattick stated he had nothing to report. <br />Page <br />11 <br />
