Rockwell approves $6,000 contract for redesigned city website
Summary
The council voted to contract Neapolitan Labs to redesign and migrate the city’s website for a one-time development cost of $6,000, with a recurring $1,000 annual subscription thereafter; members discussed budget and the possibility of nonprofit cost-sharing.
The Rockwell City Council approved a contract to build a new municipal website and migrate existing content at a one-time cost of $6,000.
Vendor representative Adam explained the pricing: the $6,000 covers development and migration for the first 12 months; after year one the site would carry a roughly $1,000 per-year subscription for hosting and maintenance. Council members contrasted the proposed site with the county’s site and noted benefits such as a business directory, nonprofit listings and events pages that would be less dependent on Facebook.
Council discussed offsetting recurring costs by inviting local nonprofits, booster clubs and public-safety entities to contribute modest amounts. The council also favored having a single staff or contractor manage updates to avoid training multiple employees. Randy moved to approve the Neapolitan Labs bid at $6,000; the motion was seconded and carried unanimously.
