ACTION ITEM: Consider New Website Contract with Adam Hall for 2025

Adam Hall explained the services he has been providing up to present and the further services that will be needed moving forward. The CityofRigby.gov is implemented. Mr. Hall believes it will be a smooth transition to get landing pages for the other entities under the City’s umbrella once the City decides which ones we need pages for. Mr. Hall can work with our current I.T. company to get the Council Members emails set up.

The new Contract for annual maintenance on the website will now be $1440 which will include all items other than the landing pages. Those will need a separate contract addressed at a later meeting.
