Introduction
The City Council is asked to give staff feedback on the proposed draft ofthe new
website.
Background
A staffwebsite committee was formed and reviewed numerous draft website designs
before unanimously recommending the proposed draft. Staff feels the website should 1)
be user friendly 2) not be cluttered 3) give a sense of community 4) utilize community
pictures, logos and symbols rather than graphic art to best serve Shakopee. On July 2,
2003 the Telecommunications Commission also unanimously recommended the draft
website that the City Council will view on July 15.
Since the website is interactive, city staff and its consultant, Bluestem Systems, will give
an interactive presentation at the Council meeting to show the design, functionality and
some of the features of the new website.
Action Requested
The City Council is asked to give staff feedback on the proposed draft of the new
website.
