Newbury Township Trustees are seeking a more modern website, potentially with assistance from the Geauga County Automatic Data Processing board.
Newbury Township Trustees are seeking a more modern website, potentially with assistance from the Geauga County Automatic Data Processing board.
ADP Board Chief Deputy Administrator Frank Antenucci outlined the board’s capabilities during the trustees’ Jan. 21 meeting.
The township currently uses Cassidy Web Creations, of Chester Township, Fiscal Officer Lindsay Pollock previously said.
Trustee Carly Sayre raised the idea of renovating the township’s website at the Jan. 7 meeting, noting the township also received a proposal from a company in Michigan.
“We’re trying to keep it kind of at least local, to either Geauga or Newbury,” she added Jan. 21.
ADP works with a local vendor, called Company 119, of Chardon, which has developed websites for both Bainbridge and Chester townships’ websites, Antenucci said.
“If you’ve seen the county’s Geauga connected system — whether it be Bainbridge Township or the county auditor or ADP or the commissioners — they’re all using that same infrastructure,” he said. “And then you tailor to what you want, color scheme, data and content.”
ADP currently hosts 26 websites on its “secured server,” Antenucci added.
“Because 26 others have gone before you, you get a complete website built for in the thousands of dollars instead of what Bainbridge township paid four years ago, which I think was $20,000,” he said.
Sayre emphasized the need for a new website to provide an updated virtual calendar system and easy access to meeting minutes, she said.
“(I’d like) another couple weeks,” she said. “I want to look at any other websites and stuff like that, if that’s okay.”
