Minutes
Attendees: Rick Pettyjohn, Information Systems; Dave Brown,
Water and Irrigation; Tom Sellsted, Information Systems; Pete Hobbs,
Wastewater; Tom Sevigny, Fire; Shawn Valdez, Purchasing; Ray
Yokum, Information Systems; John Haddix, Public Works; Don Skone,
Planning; and Marketa George Oliver, CMO.
The proposal from the State Department of Information Systems -
Washington Interactive Technologies (WIT) was discussed. The
Committee discussed what services were to be rendered for the
proposal. Other questions about design and maintenance were also
addressed. Dave Brown mentioned that we would need to designate
who would have the capability to update/change the website.
Marketa emphasized that the Committee was the ultimate decision
maker on those issues and that the State representatives would
provide the training necessary to perform the maintenance. Rick
Pettyjohn asked if the Committee would like to meet with the State
representatives before going forward with a contract. Marketa said
that she would set up another video conference or a meeting if the
committee would like one. Dave Brown said that as long as the
Information Systems representatives were comfortable with the
State people's ability to provide the technical expertise, he was in
favor of going forward with a contract. He said the design,
maintenance decisions would ultimately be made by the Committee.
Rick said he was confident that the State's people were technically
capable. Don Skone asked about maps which would be available on
line. Tom Sellsted said that it was always planned (regardless who
the vendor was) to do any maps for the site in-house. Don said he
was fine with the proposal then and thought we should move
forward.
The issue of funding was discussed. Rick said that Dick (Zais) has
directed him to take the funding from his (professional services)
budget. He said he had budgeted $4,500 this year for it, but that he
would take the funds from his budget. He also mentioned that he
had taken a substantial sum from his budget to augment the City Hall
remodel project. The Committee also discussed the idea of providing
hot links to commercial organizations for a fee. It was decided that
this issue could be re -visited after the website was developed.
It was decided at the meeting to go forward with an agreement with
the State Department of Information Systems. The total cost of the
State proposal is $22,455. Marketa will contact the State and handle
the appropriate paperwork. She will also set up a meeting for the
State representatives to meet with the Committee and begin work on
the website.
Rick announced that Strategic Resources Inc. will demonstrate a
multi -function Internet based kiosk in the Information Systems
Conference Room on Thursday, July 16th from 9:00 to 11:00 a.m.
Anyone who is interested in seeing the kiosk is welcome to stop by
and talk with a representative.
Marketa asked if there was interest in setting up a 24-hour, phone,
voice mail menu system. Overall, the Committee did not seem
enthusiastic about the idea. However, Tom Sevigny from Fire said
that such a system may serve the Fire Department well by providing
a line the media can call to gain information about the previous days
Fire/EMS calls. Marketa will forward the information to Tom.
Marketa will let everyone know when the next meeting (with the
WIT representatives) is scheduled.

ITEM TITLE: Consideration of a resolution authorizing the execution of an agreement
with the Washington State Department of Information Systems,

Development.

SUMMARY EXPLANATION:
The City of Yakima has had an unofficial presence on the Internet for a period of time. The
idea of constructing an official City home page came under review in April, 1997 and is critical
for several reasons. First, the information found on the Internet about the City of Yakima is
not an official City Home Page. Some of this information is out of date and inaccurate. If the
City does not create an official web presence, Yakima is letting other people/entities speak for
the City. Second, a home page is a useful public information/education tool with the potential
of producing a substantial savings. If the home page was only used as a public information
tool, it would be valuable. The ability to save on printing costs makes the development of a web
site even more attractive. Potential cost savings come in the form of a reduction of printing
expenses for media packets. Local media have Internet access. The City could discontinue the
printing of these, and potentially other packets, while at the same time, provide access to more
people in a more time -effective manner. Also, the Internet has become a valuable tool for
tourism and economic development. Travelers and businesses routinely rely on the Internet to
peruse information about a location. It is important that the City make sure that the
information available about Yakima is accurate, interesting, and current. This cannot be done
without a web presence.
Numerous City staff members have been participating in the Website Development Committee.
The Committee went through the request for proposal process in Spring, 1998. The City
received only three proposals, all of which were rejected due to a variety of reasons, primarily
cost. Committee members then entered into discussions with representatives from the State of
Washington Department of Information Systems, Washington Interactive Technologies (WIT)
and asked for a written proposal. The initial proposal from DIS was for $22,455. The Committee
discussed the proposal and the associated costs and recommended approval. However, the cost
has decreased and the contract is for the amount of $17,300. For this amount, WIT agrees to
develop the City's website which will include the information outlined in the City's original
request for proposals document. The Website Development Committee met on July 13th and
discussed WIT's proposal and recommended moving forward with it. A copy of the minutes
from that meeting is included for your information.

SUBJECT: Preliminary Budget Estimate — Web Site Development
Per our meetings, you will find this a budget estimate for Washington
Interactive Technologies (WIT) to assist with the development of the City
of Yakima web site. WIT will perform the following activities:
• Project Management
WIT will compile previously gathered information and conduct
further meetings, if required, regarding the requirements, features,
and content of the site. WIT will manage the production of the web
site, from initiation to completion.
• Develop User Interface
A navigation scheme will be developed, based off the site structure
,defined above. The navigation will include schemes for primary
and secondary navigation, and processes for updating with future
growth. In addition to the navigation, the user interface includes
items such as logos, backgrounds, in -content graphics, font style
and size.
• Produce HTML
WIT will produce HTML, allowing distribution of the supplied
content over the World Wide Web. WIT assumes the City will
provide content: we prefer electronic versions, if available.
• Test / Implement on web server
WIT will install the completed web site on the City's web server
and perform quality control measures to ensure the site performs as
designed,
AUG 26 '98 10:28RM INFO SERVICES P.5
• Create Templates
WIT will provide HTML templates, allowing the City to create
new pages and maintain their existing pages.
This estimate includes a 15% contingency. It is our experience that
additional requirements can spring up in the course of the project's
development. These funds are considered to have your approval to be
spent, but will only be used if necessary.
If you have any questions or need additional information, please call me at
(360) 407-0134. We are looking forward to working with you on this
project!
