Board approves updated administrative assistant profile and selects GovUnity for website update
Summary
The manager recommended GovUnity for a new ADA-compliant website (quote: $6,100 design, $600/yr maintenance) over a higher-cost bidder; supervisors approved the site recommendation and an updated administrative assistant position profile with added zoning duties.
The Williams Township Board of Supervisors approved two administrative items: an updated position profile for the administrative assistant and a vendor recommendation for a new township website.
The manager told the board she and a colleague met with two vendors and recommended GovUnity, which quoted $6,100 for design and $600 per year for website maintenance. The manager said GovUnity would simplify navigation ("1 to 2 clicks") and make the site ADA-accessible by 2026. A second vendor was quoted at a higher one-time design cost (transcribed as both "Revise" and "Revive") with a higher annual hosting fee; the manager noted the township budgeted $10,000 for the website this year and recommended GovUnity as the lower-cost option.
The board moved to approve the updated administrative assistant profile, which adds zoning assistance responsibilities to help the zoning official, and then moved to accept the manager's recommendation to contract with GovUnity. The motion to select GovUnity was recorded in the transcript as "motion carries 2 0." The board also approved the annual audit filing as presented by staff.
No firm timetable for the website launch was provided at the meeting; the manager suggested a conservative change window (she said three months as a possible expectation) and said she would follow up with the vendor on a timeline.
