Regular City Council Meeting <br /> Monday,November 19, 2012 <br /> Page 25 <br /> Mr. Pratt advised that at the discretion of Community Development Director <br /> Trudgeon, she was certainly welcome to serve; and opined that it made sense. <br /> Mr. Pratt clarified that the RFP had been developed through a needs assessment <br /> from all departments, including the HRA, to incorporate their needs, one of <br /> which was to incorporate the Living Smarter website into the City website. <br /> At the request of Councilmember McGehee, Mr. Pratt advised that each de- <br /> partment head had expressed the desire to be able to manage their own area <br /> through additions or alterations, as is currently available to them rather than a <br /> central management individual. <br /> Further discussion included limitations of the current website unable to offer re- <br /> sponsible design for mobile applications; proprietary set-ups of vendors; and <br /> Mr. Pratt's current and ongoing responsibility for the City's branding (rose em- <br /> blem) for continuity. <br /> Councilmember Willmus also suggested including someone from the Civic En- <br /> gagement Task Force on the RFP review group if appropriate. <br /> Councilmember McGehee opined that it made sense to have the basic needs of <br /> the City satisfied and to address accessibility issues from the City as a user; and <br /> suggested having representatives from various advisory commissioners, also us- <br /> ers, provide their feedback on the finalists through practical application. <br /> Mayor Roe noted that, once a vendor was selected, it would include some beta <br /> testing or solicitation of frequent users of e-communications to receive their <br /> feedback. <br /> Mr. Pratt concurred, noting that this provision was included in the RFP criteria. <br /> Further discussion included better directions on the website for staff contacts as <br /> applicable while maintaining the appropriate chain of command. <br /> Willmus moved, McGehee seconded, authorizing staff to issue a Request for <br /> Proposals (RFP's) for redesign of the City's website, as detailed in the RCA <br /> dated November 19, 2012. <br /> Roll Call <br /> Ayes: Johnson; McGehee; Willmus; and Roe. <br /> Nays: None. <br /> Recess <br /> Mayor Roe recessed the meeting at approximately 8:47 p.m. and reconvened at approximately <br /> 8:51 p.m. <br /> Consider Ethics Complaint Report <br />
