With the Labor Day holiday on Monday, the Great Bend City Council has moved its meeting to tonight at 6:30 p.m. at city hall. Action will be limited with just one item on the agenda.
City Administrator Logan Burns will provide an update on matters taking place across the city, and he will also update the council on abatements in the city.
The lone agenda item pertains to the city's website. In August, Revize, a government website agency, approached the city to discuss the benefits of what its platform offers. The city could receive a substantially cheaper deal through Revize while retaining the same features it currently uses through Civic Plus.
The initial startup cost with Revize is $20,060 with an annual cost of $7,990, which is half the amount currently paid to Civic Plus. The city will have the option of adding on a WCAF Scan and Remediation ADA service, which is recommended after an April 2024 Department of Justice ruling requiring state and local goverment websites be accessible to people with disabilities. Municipalities with populations under 50,000 must meet the requirement by April 26, 2007. The Revize contract includes a free redesign every four years.
Public Relations Director Addison Crites will present the agenda item to the council with the recommendation to approve a contract with Revize not to exceed $28,050.
