She stated <br />Golden Shovel would also provide more management tools to lessen staff's <br />workload but provide an overall greater benefit. <br />Councihnember Wagner stated the need to curate the best, most professional and <br />proper content for the new site and done so in a timely manner and wondered how <br />quickly the commissions will see a return on investment. <br />Mr. Marshall explained the content management process and how it would be <br />specifically geared towards Elk River, and if needed a complete rewriting of current <br />content as well as an ongoing monthly review and change of content. The initial <br />upfront content would be provided by staff but a fee would be charged if content <br />needed to be rewritten.
