Page 2 <br /> Energy City Commission Minutes <br /> April 18,2012 <br /> were discussed in detail. Because the architecture of the website is being re-done,it was decided that the best <br /> option for the commission is to focus upon content of the site at this time. <br /> 4111 <br /> A question of whether to resurrect subcommittees for demonstration sites and archival/presentations was <br /> brought up. Because the commission is `resource constrained',a question was asked as to whether the $13,000 <br /> could be used for outside help. <br /> Commissioner Rybak arrived at 9:20 a.m. <br /> Commissioner Steinbeck commented that he would not be available for working on the website. Commissioner <br /> Zehringer commented that he would be available to format what people want(as a consultant) and stated that <br /> he would be able to meet each demonstration site personally. <br /> Discussion concerning content focused upon fliers, demonstration sites,presentations,Project Conserve, <br /> awards, Energy City High Fives, and links to resources (such as "In the News"). A suggestion was offered to <br /> start with one topic (the fliers, for example),work out the details, and then move forward with the next item. <br /> Councilmember Westgaard left the meeting at 9:28 a.m. <br /> Discussion of blending with the City's Brand and getting bids for consulting work to begin sometime around <br /> June followed. <br /> MOTION BY COMMISSIONER SAYLER AND SECONDED SIMULTANEOUSLY BY <br /> COMMISSIONERS STEINBECK AND CHUBA TO SPEND THE NEXT MONTH DEVELOPING <br /> WEBSITE CONTENT.ALL IN FAVOR.
