Council authorizes CivicLink contract to publish municipal code online
Summary
After staff presented three code-hosting options, the council approved a one-time $1,000 conversion and an annual $500 hosting subscription with CivicLink to put the city code online and searchable.
The council approved contracting with CivicLink to host Fountain Green’s municipal code online.
City staff presented three vendors — CivicLink, CivicPlus/Unicode, and American Legal — and recommended CivicLink as the most cost‑effective option for the city’s needs. Shay (staff) reported CivicLink charges a one‑time migration fee (presented as $1,000 for staff-assisted conversion) and an annual hosting fee of $500; hosting done by the city (self-upload) would avoid the initial conversion cost.
A council member moved to approve the CivicLink contract and pay the $1,000 conversion fee and the $500 annual hosting; another member seconded and the motion passed by voice vote. Council directed staff to proceed with the vendor contract and to include the expenditure in the appropriate budget line.
Vote (recorded): Gary — yes; Vaughn — yes; Rich — yes; Jake — yes.
