Board approves vendor to bring district website into ADA compliance
Summary
The Stansbury Park Neighborhood District voted unanimously to contract with a web-services vendor to convert its site for ADA accessibility at an announced cost of $3,000 per year, with the board noting a contractual one-year price lock and a 5% annual uplift thereafter.
The Stansbury Park Neighborhood District voted to hire a vendor to bring its website into Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliance.
District manager Brett Palmer said the vendor quoted $3,000 per year — $250 a month — and that the district’s compliance deadline is April 26, 2028. "Our deadline that we have to be in compliance isn't technically until 04/26/2028," Palmer said. He told the board the contract could start in October if trustees wished to be proactive.
Board members pressed staff on alternatives and contract terms. A board member asked whether the district could lock the price long-term; Palmer said there is only a one-year lock and that a 5% annual uplift would begin in year two. Another trustee asked whether staff solicited proposals from other firms; Palmer said staff had looked but could not definitively confirm multiple bids.
Supporters cited staff capacity limits as a reason to outsource. One committee member said the quoted price "seems reasonable" given the labor a full conversion would require in-house. The board noted it could cancel the vendor if costs rose and could seek other bids later.
A motion to proceed with the engagement was made, seconded and passed unanimously. The board did not record individual roll-call votes in the minutes.
Next steps: staff will execute the contract with the vendor, begin conversion work per the vendor’s schedule and report progress to the board at future meetings.
