Summary
The Delafield Common Council voted March 2 to renew the cityofdelafield.com domain for nine years at $140.40 to reduce impersonation and phishing risk, and approved routine vouchers and corrected minutes from Feb. 16 by voice votes.
The Delafield Common Council voted on March 2 to renew the domain cityofdelafield.com for nine years at a cost the clerk described as $140.40, citing a desire to prevent third parties from acquiring the domain for scams and to preserve email/domain security.
City Clerk Molly recommended renewing the domain and said the site currently redirects to the city's primary site. "For the price point to renew ... at $140.40 is certainly worth it," Molly said, urging the council to approve a nine‑year renewal to reduce phishing and impersonation risk.
Council member (mover) suggested a nine‑year renewal and Mayor Eicher seconded; the council approved the renewal by voice vote. A separate suggestion to check ownership of the corresponding .net domain was made and referred to staff for future consideration.
On financial items, a motion to approve vouchers for the periods 02/18–03/03 and 01/01–02/28 was made and seconded; the council approved the vouchers by voice vote. The Feb. 16 minutes were also approved with a typographical correction ("pole barn" corrected).
Next steps: the city will renew cityofdelafield.com before the April 1 expiration and staff will follow up on whether the .net domain should be acquired.
