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. CLAIMSBILLS <br /> Printup moved,Seals seconded,to approve payment of the All Funds Account. VOTE: Ayes 5, <br /> Nays 0. <br /> Page 31 of 32 <br />
