Board reviews website redesign proposal, delays decision to ask follow-up questions
Summary
The board examined a vendor proposal to rebuild the village website for accessibility and easier updates; members asked for clarification on optional managed hosting and security costs and agreed to consolidate pages before proceeding.
A board member (S6) presented a website redesign proposal from the vendor that built the current site 14 years ago, noting new accessibility laws and the requirement to post meeting materials ahead of time. The vendor proposed a build and optional managed hosting and accessibility-maintenance services; the optional managed accessibility service was quoted at about $700 per year, and enhanced managed hosting noted recurring fees (discussed as roughly $200 per month for enhanced hosting).
Board members expressed willingness to proceed with a build but asked staff to ask follow-up questions about hosting, security, and whether the build could be deployed to an outside host. The board requested staff evaluate page consolidation to reduce initial build cost and committed to return with a recommendation rather than approving the full enhanced hosting package immediately.
