Port Royal authorizes CivicPlus website contract; mayor highlights ADA compliance and training
Summary
Council authorized the mayor or Town Manager to execute a website contract with CivicPlus, describing first‑year pricing roughly $600–$700 and an ongoing annual fee of $3,257.99 with a 5% increase; CivicPlus will provide ADA‑compliance guarantees and some user training.
The Port Royal Town Council on Jan. 23 authorized the mayor or Town Manager to execute a website contract with CivicPlus. Mayor Alex Long and Town Manager Tim Smith described CivicPlus’s population‑based fee schedule, an estimated first‑year cost and an annual renewal price of $3,257.99 with a 5% annual increase; CivicPlus also guaranteed the site would be ADA compliant and would provide some user training while the town would rely partly on AI tools for content review.
Angela Golden moved to authorize either the Mayor or the Town Manager to execute the CivicPlus contract; Nathanael Ulfers seconded and the motion passed unanimously, 3‑0. The meeting record described the first‑year cost as approximately "$6‑700" in the minutes; council discussion framed that as a modest one‑time initial payment with higher recurring annual costs.
Next steps: the mayor or Town Manager will sign the contract and coordinate site setup and training for authorized users.
