• The CGI proposal requires the City to allow advertising to be placed on the City's <br /> website. This would require a City Council policy decision. <br /> Committee Feedback <br /> In preparation for the City Council work session discussion, staff requested feedback on the CGI <br /> proposal from the Economic Development Commission, Communications Committee, and the <br /> Website Ad Hoc Committee. The EDC was generally supportive of the CGI proposal. Given <br /> the investment that the City is making in the website, the EDC felt that it was important that any <br /> home page graphic be designed and sized appropriately. The EDC also suggested that the letter <br /> to businesses must clearly state that businesses are under no obligation to purchase sponsorships. <br /> The Communications Committee discussed the CGI proposal as well. A committee member <br /> expressed interest in the project and a willingness to help with editing the script and video. The <br /> Website Ad Hoc Committee felt that the video tours could be a positive addition to the City's <br /> website if CGI could be flexible with the design of the home page graphic. <br /> City Council Discussion Questions <br /> 1. How do Councilmembers feel about posting advertising on the website? <br /> 2. Do Councilmembers have any objections to allowing CGI to request sponsorships from <br /> local businesses? <br /> 3. Does the City Council want to direct staff to negotiate an agreement with CGI <br /> Communications for Council consideration? If so, does the Council have direction on <br /> specific issues which should be addressed in the contract? <br /> City of Arden Hills <br /> City Council Work Session Meeting May 21, 2012 <br /> Page 3 of 3 <br />
