Council approves free city videos from CGI Digital; staff warns vendor will sell ad space around the content
Summary
Council approved a resolution to host vendor-produced videos on the city homepage at no cost; staff said the vendor solicits paid ad space around the videos and requested a letter confirming the city will place the content on its homepage.
The council approved a resolution authorizing an agreement with CGI Digital to publish a series of short, vendor-produced videos on the city's website at no cost to the city.
Staff previewed examples from Lewisville and explained the vendor's business model: the city provides a letter confirming placement of the videos on the homepage, and the vendor solicits paid advertising around that content. Council members asked about ad pricing; staff said no price list had yet been provided but that staff would obtain it. The resolution passed on a recorded vote (6 0).
