Item No. 12 047
Date: December 28, 2011
Item/Subject: Order, Accepting the Donation of a Website Content Management System
from Sutherland Weston Marketing Communications
Responsible Department: Finance
Commentary: This Order would accept the donation of a website content management
system from Sutherland Weston Marketing Communications. During FY 2011, staff proposed
using $20,000 of savings due to vacancies within the Information Services Division to hire
someone to rebuild the City's website. After that decision was made, the City hired an
individual in Information Services who had extensive website design experience. Because staff
had the expertise, the City was only required to obtain a content management system. A
website content management system is necessary to author and maintain content on a website
as well as provides the necessary framework/template and standardized styling for displaying
the website content. Councilor Weston offered to donate the website content management
system of Sutherland and Weston. Had this donation not be made the City would have had to
purchase a content management system as well as incur an annual maintenance fee. This
Order would accept the donation of a website content management system from Sutherland
Weston Marketing Communications.
