WEB SITE WILL GET AN UPDATE

HALLANDALE BEACH — The city's Web site will soon be updated, becoming a hub for information related to the city.

Officials said the current Web site is a low-maintenance operation that provides far less information to the public than what is available. The city spends $2,760 annually to maintain the site, officials said.

City commissioners voted unanimously on March 5 to spend an additional $3,000 to give the site a makeover and provide more online information. Staff was also directed to get the upgrades done as quickly as possible.

"The concept of increasing the information on our Web site is one that has merit in and of itself," said Commissioner Toby Musto, who requested the upgrade in a Feb. 20 memo to City Manager R.J. Intindola. "Our Web site is a resource that is greatly underused."

Musto requested that the Web site be upgraded with rosters of city boards, shuttle bus schedules, proclamations and listings of awards among other information.

"I think we should make as much information and as many documents available electronically as possible," he said.

"This would all appear to be within our abilities technologically at the present time."

Prior to Musto's request, city staff said they had made some upgrades to the site and were in the process of making even more changes.

Musto said that he would also like various forms, applications and payments to be submitted via the site.

Startup costs for upgrading the site and contracting with outside companies could be an estimated $100,000, city officials said.

The city also plans to add meeting summaries known as "commission meeting minutes," downloadable forms, city fees, proclamations and listing of awards, requests for proposals and a bus schedule.
