Roosevelt County commissioners reject CivicPlus website contract in 3-2 vote
Summary
The Roosevelt County Commission declined to approve a CivicPlus contract for a redesigned, ADA-compliant website after a 3-2 vote; Manager Forget said she negotiated two free months and delayed billing until the next fiscal year, but commissioners were split on approval.
The Roosevelt County Commission voted down a contract proposal with CivicPlus for a website redesign and ADA compliance at its April 21 meeting in Portales. County Manager Meadow Forget told the board she negotiated two free months of service and that billing would not begin until the next fiscal year; she said the redesign is intended to make the site more navigable and allow future upgrades such as facility scheduling and payments.
Commissioner Malin Parker asked whether the contract would include an app or stall-rental module for fairgrounds operations; Forget responded the initial contract is for redesign and ADA compliance and would allow future upgrades, but would not immediately add those features. The motion to approve the CivicPlus contract failed 3-2 (No: Commissioners Paul Grider, Tina Dixon and Malin Parker; Yes: Commissioners Roy Lee Criswell and Fabian Munoz).
The commission gave no further detail in the public record about reasons for opposing votes. County staff plan to revisit website options and report back to the board; the clerk and IT staff will continue to prioritize ADA compliance needs in the interim.
