Select Board authorizes first‑year ADA accessibility purchase for town website
Summary
The Select Board approved an ADA accessibility year‑one service plan from CivicPlus for $2,500 to address website accessibility; longer‑term redesign costs were deferred to next year.
Town staff presented a proposal from CivicPlus to improve the town website’s accessibility features. The full service plan included multiple components but staff recommended approving the first‑year accessibility portion, which can be paid in the current fiscal year, and deferring additional redesign work until next year when recurring costs would be considered in the FY26 budget.
A motion to approve the CivicPlus accessibility year‑one annual fee at $2,500, and to authorize the interim town administrator to sign related contract documents, passed on a roll call vote. The board noted the expenditure would be paid from the current technology budget and that future annual service and implementation costs would be considered as part of next year’s budget discussions.
Staff was asked to continue seeking cost‑effective options for website improvements and to report back on long‑term costs and funding options for a fuller redesign.
Action taken: Select Board approved the CivicPlus accessibility year‑one payment of $2,500; the interim town administrator authorized to execute contract documents.
