Board approves website accessibility add‑ons; transcript lists differing cost figures
Summary
County staff explained two accessibility products (AudioEye overlays and document conversion) to meet Title II/ADA; supervisors approved the add-ons though the meeting transcript references both $9,126.60 and $9,001.26 as annual/additional costs.
Mills County staff recommended purchasing website accessibility services to meet Title II/ADA requirements, and the board voted to approve the add‑ons.
IT staff member (S7) described two components: AudioEye overlays that provide screen-reader and accessibility overlays, and a document-access conversion service to make county PDFs accessible. S7 said the initial payment would be a few thousand dollars and cited an annual recurring cost; the transcript contains two different figures in discussion — S7 said $9,126.60 annually (SEG 406), and later a board member asked whether the additional cost was $9,001.26 above existing payments (SEG 427). Supervisor (S3) moved to approve the website add-ons for ADA compliance and the motion carried.
S7 said the effort is the "first step" toward broader accessibility work on job applications and third-party apps. The board approved the purchase and directed staff to implement the services; the transcript does not record exact contract terms or a vendor name for the accessibility add-ons beyond the product descriptions.
