Regular City Council Meeting Monday, February 12, 2007 Page 11 of 30 make the site more user friendly and allow ease of use no matter what the level of expertise of those utilizing the website, to further enhance commu- nication. Mr. Miller noted that it was staff s intent to do it right the first time and provide a customized and proactive format such as allowing for e- mail comment from users; allowing users to provide information to the City (i.e., pot hole repair areas); community calendar listing specific upcoming events without clicking elsewhere; customize messages, recognizing that us- ers have different purposes, information needs, and abilities, (e.g., residents, real estate developers, contractors); and using easier and faster navigation tools, rather than being set up according to the City's internal organizational structure. Mr. Miller noted inclusion of a quick opinion poll that may prove of use; a "notify me" feature for people subscribing to receive updates on specific is- sues, or for any new information posted; and to encourage more interaction from users of the site. Discussion included the need for the website update; rationale on scope of the RFP; need to incorporate the Roseville Issues Forum into the design not as two separate items; and staff investigating references of the firm to de- termine their satisfaction with the end product. Roe moved, Kough seconded, authorizing City Staff to accept the proposal to redesign the City's website from CivicP1us and to appropriate an addi- tional $5,000 from the City's Communication Fund. Roll Call Ayes: Kough; Ih1an; Roe; Pust and Klausing. Nays: None. b. Reimbursable Twin Lakes Expenses At the request of Mayor Klausing, City Manager Bill Ma1inen briefly re- viewed those items listed for reimbursement by the developer. Counci1member Ih1an questioned actual items listed for legal services, "i.e., Twin Lakes 2007 Options," and when the City Council authorized those ex- pendi tures.
