Court approves vendor to bring county website into ADA compliance at $750/year
Summary
Garrard County approved AD-IOS's recommendation to bring the county website into ADA compliance; the vendor estimated an annual cost of $750 for implementation and maintenance.
Crystal Geis of AD-IOS presented a letter to Judge/Executive Chris Elleman advising the county to ensure its website meets Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) accessibility standards to avoid legal exposure. The minutes record, "The annual cost for implementing and maintaining compliance is $750.00." The court approved moving forward with the recommendation.
The presentation framed the action as a preventative compliance measure, noting that counties and public entities have increasingly faced legal action for noncompliant websites. The court passed the motion to approve the work on a voice vote with no recorded opposition.
