Summary
Town Manager Ryan Lockwood told the Selectboard the State of Vermont now requires municipal websites to meet ADA accessibility standards by April 2027 and recommended hiring ReVise, with an estimated cost of $8,000–$9,000, to complete the redesign.
The State of Vermont requires state and municipal websites to be ADA compliant by April 2027, Town Manager Ryan Lockwood told the Selectboard, and he recommended working with ReVise to redesign the town website. He estimated the anticipated cost at between $8,000 and $9,000 and said he selected ReVise because the firm has completed similar projects with comparable municipalities.
Lockwood explained key ADA features include audio options and alternative text or descriptions for images to assist visually impaired users. The minutes do not record a formal approval of the redesign contract or allocation of funds; the item was presented as a planned procurement for the board to consider and to fund from the appropriate account if the board authorizes the work.
