<br />( <br /> <br />(') <br /> <br />( <br /> <br />The League of Minnesota Cities (LMC) created Web for Cities with the help of fourteen <br />Minnesota cities, ranging in size from 700 to 52,000. These cities, in cooperation with <br />LMC staff and Avenet's team of developers, evaluated the existing technology, suggested <br />improvements, and tested the changes. The result of their efforts is the new <br />GovOffice.com web site development tooL <br /> <br />GovOffice.com is easy to use, affordable, accessible, secure, and fully supported through <br />GovOffice Customer Service. <br /> <br />Attached is a sample of GovOffice. Com for Springfield. The City can create as many <br />sections and nested sections as they desire. Information can be images, audio, video, <br />documents sidebar and related links. There are several pages showing the administrative <br />functions. Little Canada was one of the fourteen cities that helped create <br />GovOfffice.com, and their home page is also attached. Notice the search function, <br />allowing users to find information quickly. The Communications Task Force spoke with <br />representatives from two of the fourteen involved cities in GovOffice.com development. <br />Their comments are included. <br /> <br />Cost <br />With GovOffice.com, cities are charged according to population (see attached pricing <br />structure chart). Attached is a quote from GovOffice.com as well as a breakdown of <br />expenses for the first year totaling $1,180. This total includes $60 for a customized <br />header, enabling Centerville to stand out. After the first year, the expense would only be <br />$35 per month for 12 months, or $420 per year. By comparison, Media Junction's price is <br />$50 per month, or $700 per year, plus $40 per hour to update any information, including <br />City Conncil minutes every 2 weeks. <br /> <br />The Centerville staffwill be responsible for creating and updating the web site. Start up <br />time for the new web site will take approximately 20 hours, while updating the web site <br />will take approximately two hours every two weeks. The possibilities for involving the <br />community in the Centerville web site are endless. Periodically placing citizen photos on <br />the web page, single question surveys, community calendar, posting results of local <br />teams, and pictures from local events are just a few ways to have the citizens participate <br />in the web site. The web site will need to be part of the weekly routine by Centerville city <br />staff in order to make it successfuL <br /> <br />GovOffice.com has the experience and technological support to make Web for Cities the <br />best value to our community. <br /> <br />,~ <br />
