Council to seek legal advice before ending stalled website contract
Summary
Members reviewed a year-and-a-half-old website contract and a former contractor's offer to resume service for about $3,500 per year; the council agreed to seek legal advice before breaking the existing contract and to pursue attorney candidates.
Council members discussed a contract for the town website that was approved over a year ago but has not gone live. A former contractor expressed interest in resuming management and offered an annual fee (cited about $3,500). Councilors agreed they should obtain legal advice before attempting to terminate the existing contract and asked staff to continue outreach to attorneys who might consult or represent the town.
One member suggested running ads to solicit attorneys and to interview candidates; staff said one attorney had expressed interest but could not attend that night. The council left the item for follow-up and suggested scheduling a special meeting if necessary to meet with interested attorneys about contract options.
