City and county website migration nears completion; city plans June public launch and staff training
Summary
City staff reported progress on a website migration with vendor Granicus: the main site is about 65% migrated and departmental reveal for internal stakeholders is scheduled for March 17; staff training and editor sessions will run March–April and the public launch is planned for June 24 at the commission meeting.
City staff provided an update on a multi-month website migration and content-management rollout, saying the main site is 65% migrated and other sites (airport and downtown) are about 90% migrated.
The schedule includes an internal reveal on March 17 for department heads and content editors; March–April training sessions (administrators and editors); a May review window for departments to finalize content; and a public launch targeted for June 24 during a regular commission meeting so the new site receives public attention.
Staff said the city and county are working with the same vendor (Granicus) so both governments will be on a single platform and that an intranet for staff collaboration will be implemented in parallel. Training plans call for each department to designate a primary and secondary content manager so turnover will not leave pages unmanaged; a single webmaster mailbox will be created for external correction requests, which staff will route to the appropriate department.
Board members asked about ongoing training and single points of contact. Presenters said the city will advertise a webmaster email for public corrections, maintain two content managers per department, and use IT and communications teams as fallbacks. No board action was required; the item was informational.
