MINUTE ORDER <br /> CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br /> <br /> April 6, 1998 <br /> MO. 98-096 <br /> <br />CITY CLERK DEPARTMENT <br />Redwood City <br /> <br />DATE: April 8, 1998 <br /> <br />Attention: City Manager <br /> City Attorney <br /> Council <br /> Library Director <br /> <br />SUBJECT: Discussion of the City's Web Site (203) <br /> <br />Meeting of the Council of the City of Redwood City on April 6, 1998. <br /> <br />Present: Councilmembers Bain, Claire, Hartnett, Ira, Leipzig, Ruskin <br /> and Mayor Howard <br /> <br />Absent: None <br /> <br />The following motion was made, carried and entered on the Minutes: <br /> <br /> Council Member Bain showed slides and accessed the Intemet to show the <br /> City's Web Site. He said he believed "The Web Site is a major communications <br /> tool that we are not taking full advantage of. We can use our Web Site to <br /> project an image of the City and we can (include items) of real value to the Site <br /> that our citizens would really appreciate." <br /> <br /> Council Member Bain showed the City's Web Site and other cities' Sites, and <br /> said Redwood City's Site does not project a coherent look. He recommended <br /> that the Redwood City Home Page show the new City Hall and archway, and <br /> the whole Site be what is called a "frame space site which would have a <br /> navigation bar on the left side, with categories and.., the City's logo remaining <br /> visible at all times." He suggested that valuable information would attract more <br /> visitors to the Site, such as "Where do my tax dollars go?" Council Member <br /> Bain suggested that the Site contain the status of City projects, Code violations, <br /> and other information that is now only available at City Hall. He showed the <br /> Web Sites of the Cities of San Mateo and Mountain View which have pictures <br /> and information about Council Members and how people can contact them. He <br /> then showed what Redwood City's Site could look like. <br /> <br /> <br />
