Sigourney council approves web contract edits, new logo and domain transfer
Summary
Council approved City Attorney-recommended edits to a Drive Technologies website contract (change 'completion' to 'acceptance,' require time logs, secure city ownership of content), approved a $500 logo with 'est. 1844,' and agreed to transfer sigourney.com to city control.
The Sigourney City Council on Aug. 7 approved attorney-recommended edits to the Drive Technologies website agreement and several associated items to prepare for a new municipal website.
Council member Iosbaker summarized City Attorney John Wehr’s suggested changes and recommended the council require Drive Technologies to log time, confirm the city owns content if the agreement is terminated, and change invoicing language from "completion" to "acceptance" under Section 2.2. The council voted to accept those recommendations (motion by Iosbaker, second Schultz).
Councilors also approved a one-time $500 fee for Drive Technologies to create a simple municipal logo for the new site, with the addition of "est. 1844" in the medallion. The council approved a plan to transfer the domain sigourney.com from KCED to the City so the new site can run on the simpler domain; the city will assume maintenance and hosting fees under Drive Technologies.
Council authorized scheduling photos of the mayor and council members for the website at $10 per person. The council also approved minor copy edits to a Cox Sanitation flyer to be included with August utility bills; Cox will supply and fold the flyers for distribution.
Councilors framed the website work as practical and cost-conscious: Iosbaker said the requested logo should be simple and inexpensive to allow the site to launch without a larger branding investment.
