Red Bud OKs up to $11,000 for new website, selects 618 Creative
Summary
Council authorized up to $11,000 to hire 618 Creative for a website rebrand and development project, with staff noting budget lines and the option to use hotel/motel tax funds if appropriate.
The Red Bud City Council approved hiring 618 Creative to redesign and rebrand the city's website with a not-to-exceed budget of $11,000.
Jill, a city staff member, recommended 618 Creative as a one-stop vendor for logo, rebrand and website work, saying the company could provide all services without outsourcing. "I would like to propose going with 618 Creative," Jill said, noting the firm had strong references and local availability to support the city during business hours.
Council members discussed how to code the expense and whether hotel/motel tax revenues could cover some or all of the work. Staff said funds exist in various line items and that invoices could be coded to hotel/motel tax if the expense met the tax guidelines. The motion to award the website contract to 618 Creative with a cap of $11,000, and with the option to use hotel/motel tax funds if appropriate, passed on roll call.
Staff will proceed with contracting and ensure proper invoice coding; council did not set a separate appropriation vote at the meeting.
