<br />, <br /> <br />e Arden Hills Web Site TaskForce Report - January 8, 2001 <br /> <br />The minutes of the September 12th 2000, Council meeting requested the Committee to further explore <br />website construction and design, consider oversight responsibilities, web development process, ongoing <br />operational issues and initial costs. The committee has met several times since that time, The attached <br />documents reflect a summary of those discussions in an attempt to answer the Councils' request, <br /> <br />We are presenting a packet that contains a general outline ofthe initial Arden Hills web site and page <br />examples, A general matrix that outlines the process considerations for development, and a possible <br />phasing of steps to meet basic goals, A budget was not included at this time since the initial development <br />is planned to be worked into existing staff time and consultant help will be sought on a pro-bono basis <br />from the community, Future phases should include evaluations and budgets, <br /> <br />Phasing <br />The phasing reflects the two main goals of the web site, The first being informational, and the second <br />being transactionaL The initial phases of development will concentrate on development of the site and <br />internal procedures to maintain it in a qualitative manner at a minimum of time expenditure, Once this <br />stage can be implemented and evaluated, the possibilities for further use of the web site and the inherent <br />savings to the City - should be explored, <br />Phase two and phase three innovations should be considered after some review and demonstrated value of <br />the initial web site, Real cost savings and improved services would be most likely realized with the <br />further development of the transactional stages of the Site, <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />Recommendations <br />We recommend that the phase one actions be implemented as soon as possible, We also recommend that <br />the Web Site task force continue as a planning and operational body to facilitate development, The <br />Council should endorse the intial project so we can solicit additional resources from the Community, <br /> <br />. <br />
