The Alton Board of Selectmen on Nov. 25 gave consensus approval to migrate the town’s content to a redesigned website and asked staff to ensure boards and commissions, with term-end years, are listed.

Josh (speaker 5), who built the new site, walked the board through the back end and said the site is "a lot more modern, a lot more organized," adding he originally built the old site in 2014 and now proposes to move content into the new site and release periodic updates. Selectmen praised the design: "it just blows you away," one member said, and requested that all boards and commissions be listed and that each name show the year the term ends.

On rollout logistics, Josh estimated DNS adjustments can sometimes take 24–48 hours but said the cutover is typically "pretty quick" with an expected short downtime of "maybe, like, 15 to 30 minutes." Board members asked for a banner or advance notice on the site ahead of any shutdown; Josh agreed. Laura (speaker 6) asked whether department heads would receive training to update content; Josh said he would meet with each department to give a "general how to lesson." The board did not take a formal roll-call vote; members agreed by consensus to proceed and asked to be notified when the switch will occur.
