Councilmember Shryock asked if there would be extra expenses if the project moves outside of <br /> the timeline. <br /> Information Technology Manager Fredrickson stated that there is an agreed upon timeline in the <br /> contract and therefore any delay in the timeline would cause additional costs. <br /> Councilmember Riley stated that he cannot believe that this process has taken this long already. <br /> He stated that it is ridiculous that the City could incur additional costs and staff should avoid <br /> additional costs. <br /> City Administrator Ulrich stated that he wanted to raise the point that the group needs to make a <br /> decision in order to move forward. He noted that the website will be much improved and will be <br /> similar to what many other cities have. He agreed that he did not want to cause any unnecessary <br /> delays. He stated that at some point staff may want the discretion to move forward and not <br /> continue to come back to the Council to make changes. <br /> Mayor Strommen stated that this is only the second time the Council has looked at this and the <br /> last time they could not get a real sense of the mockup. She stated that there were changes that <br /> needed to be made. She stated that the Council has weighed in on appropriate items and <br /> therefore it could be up to staff to work out those details. She stated that the initial reaction that <br /> people will get from visiting the website should be a concern of the Council. She noted that once <br /> the elements the Council should provide input on are worked out, staff could then work out the <br /> remaining details with the consultant. <br /> Councilmember Johns noted an inconsistency between the use of Ramsey and City of Ramsey on <br /> different parts of the website and suggested that one be chosen over the other. <br /> 2.04: Discussion Regarding the Annual Performance Review of the City Administrator, <br /> an Individual who is Subject to the City Council's Authority—May be Closed to the <br /> Public <br /> Human Resources Manager Lasher reviewed the staff report. <br /> Motion by Councilmember LeTourneau, seconded by Councilmember Kuzma, to close the <br /> regular portion of the meeting to closed session at 6:30 p.m. <br /> Motion carried.
