Regular City Council Meeting Monday, August 24, 2015 Page 19 Councilmember Laliberte advised that she had the opportunity to participate in an online webinar for Granicus and they repeated the comments of Mr. Bowman, and since this site was slated for going live on September 1, 2015, while not wishing to delay it further, she did ask for the CEC or the subcommittee review before launching if the City Council majority was not opposed to additional short delay. Councilmember Willmus agreed that the CEC take a cursory review, along with addressing those issues he'd raised with branding and the City logo, in addition to grammatical points raised. Councilmember Willmus opined that this was not ready to go live yet. Mayor Roe opined that he was hearing no objection from the City Council in making sure the CEC had one last look before taking the site live; and agreed with Councilmembers Laliberte and McGehee that visual identification of different pages was needed to better understand each beyond the language on each. Mayor Roe suggested that may be something the CEC could provide feedback on as part of their review. Mr. Bowman responded that this is part of the issue with the cookie-cutter de- signed by Granicus, advising that he had been attempting to address that initial language with them for some time,but their response to him that he could not edit that language. Mr. Bowman advised that the option was to remove the language, but noted this then removed other important information in the grey boxes making him question if he'd need to rebuild it in some other format, which may not be a bad thing is the City could provide better insights,but with that yet to be resolved. Mayor Roe suggested more explanatory information on the City's website may be appropriate, with Mr. Bowman suggesting that may also be the most appropriate site for the instructional video as well. Mayor Roe suggested that creation of an instructional video may also be of inter- est by C-TV. Councilmember McGehee suggested getting rid of the grey boxes to design the City's own color-coding. Mayor Roe suggested staff determine what is technically possible; with Mr. Bowman advising he would check into that further. City Manager Trudgeon clarified the City Council's direction to staff was that this policy and issue return to the CEC for feedback, that remaining issues be resolved or addressed at a minimum, with the City Council wanting to see the final product before launching. Mayor Roe noted no objection and confirmed this directive.
