<br /> <br />.o.~~ <br /> <br />TO: Honorable Mayor and Council Members <br /> <br />FROM: Staff <br /> <br />SUBJECT: E-mail and City Web Site Domain Name <br /> <br />DATE: February 7, 2002 <br /> <br />Subsequent to receiving minimal training on the new software for Web for Cities and the <br />beginning stages of planning the new look of the City's web site. The League of <br />Minnesota Cities has stated that they are offering Domain Name and E-Mail services. <br /> <br />The City receives two (2) e-mail addresses with its purchase of Web for Cities. Each <br />additional e-mail would cost $10.00 (one time set up fee). Currently all Administrative <br />staff and Mr. Paul Palzer have e-mail. Our currently Internet Service Provider is Golden <br />Gate and costs the City $55 per month. <br /> <br />With the League, the City would need to secure four (4) e-mail addresses for a one (1) <br />time fee of$40 and no month charges. <br /> <br />The City's current Domain Name is centervilIernn.com; however, most cities use a <br />Domain Name similar to ci.centerviIle.rnn.us. When dealing with vendors, residents, and <br />Anoka County it has become apparent that the entity will incorrectly enter an e-mail or <br />web page and be unsuccessful with their attempts to contact Staff with requests or <br />information. It is believed that through registration of the City's new web site and <br />corresponding e-mail and domain name modifications, there should not be a problem <br />with resident's locating same. <br /> <br />Staff would like Council to consider the four (4) e-mail addresses with a one (1) time fee <br />of $40 and modifying the City's Domain Name. Council may want to consider providing <br />e-mail addresses for Council members, Commission/Committee members rather than <br />publishing their personal e-mail or work e-mail addresses. <br />
