The goal of the City’s website is to provide easy electronic access to public services,
serve as a public communications tool, reduce transaction costs for the City and citizens,
and to streamline business operations. The current site structure and design was
developed more than five years ago and requires significant redesign to take advantage of
new design elements and growing demand for electronic services. Specifically, the City
would like the redesigned site to support e-government transactions such as on-line
permits, on-line forms and applications, on-line payments, and a variety of other
activities that are expected to be on line and implemented in the near future. The
redesigned site should have a unifying graphic theme and concept that creates a
recognizable branding for the City and which reflects the City’s proud
heritage as well as promotes the City with a friendly and professional look and feel.
