County staff warns of April 2027 deadline for ADA‑compliant website; budgeting needed
Summary
Staff told commissioners the county must have an ADA‑compliant website by April 2027, with no state funding attached; commissioners agreed budgeting and vendor planning should start in 2026.
County staff warned the commission that state action requires the county website be ADA‑compliant by April 2027. Staff said compliance will likely require a website revamp and vendor work and that no state funding accompanies the mandate.
Commissioners discussed whether existing hosting and content can be reworked or whether a vendor and new hosting will be necessary. Staff said they will coordinate with Shelby to convene a committee and return with cost estimates before budget season so the commission can plan for the project across 2026–2027.
