Regular Common Council Meeting
March 11, 2024
Agenda Item 5: PRESENTATION:
Consideration of Presentation from Jordan Cairns (via Zoom), CivicPlus – Municipal Websites
Regarding Design & Hosting Solution
Action Item: Michelle Snarr, Clerk
CivicPlus: Mr. Jordan Cairns, CivicPlus, via Zoom
Background: The City has been looking to get a new website since before I began my employment with the
City. The current website is not adequate for the City’s needs, and it is difficult to maintain. In
addition, I do not think it is user friendly, and residents and other interested parties have a difficult
time finding the information they are looking for.
CivicPlus is a website provider that specializes in working with municipal entities, and is created
with residents, transparency, and improving how residents access and experience municipal
services.
Features: Modules that provide transparent information; Tools for residents to do business
online; Resident engagement tools; ADA Compliant; and Easy to use.
Modules: Advanced Calendaring; Meeting and Agendas; News & Announcements; Important
Alert (urgent messaging);
Engagement Tools: Unlimited Email Subscriptions/Notifications (allows residents to subscribe
and receive email alerts for new posts); SMS Subscriptions/Notifications (allow residents to
subscribe and receive SMS text messages for new posts);
Tools for Residents: Requests, Feedback and Submissions from Residents:
Service Requests, Contact Us, Surveys and Polling, Applications (all city applications),
Suggestions.
Translation: the website utilizes “Google Translate”. An “icon” is available within the website
for Google Translate, and the entire website can be translated into multiple languages.
CivicPlus also recently merged with MuniCode, a codification software, which has an option for
self-publishing that allows the city to amend the code as it happens and enter the amendments
after publication. In addition, it has the ability to upload the approved/signed ordinance with the
exhibits, forms, displays, etc. The software can also be utilized to create ordinances within the
program, whether amend or created; and has an option to be able to search over 4,000 codes for
research or for ideas to create new ordinance.
Suggested Motion: No Motion Is Required. It is listed as an Action Item only if the Council is interested in making a
motion or suggestion to: investigate further, make a specific suggestion, or look at more options,
etc.

Powering & Empowering Government
We empower municipal leaders to transform interactions between residents and government into consistently positive
experiences that elevate resident satisfaction, increase revenue, and streamline operations.

civic leaders to solve these problems, making consistently positive interactions between residents and government
possible.
What sets us apart is our Civic Experience Platform. CivicPlus is the only government technology company exclusively
committed to powering and empowering governments to efficiently operate, serve, and govern using our innovative
