The city's new "user-friendly" website will be unveiled this week (hopefully), according to community affairs director Sherry-Lea Botop who is assisting in the update along with other IT department employees.

Botop:  " ... we renewed our contract with Vision (our current provider) and they allowed us an “upgrade” if you will. However, that “upgrade” was pretty minimal and I have been leading all of the content writing, updating, reconfiguration and photo-taking/gathering for the project ...  It has been incredibly time consuming and will still need more work after it launches as we continue to make it as user-friendly as possible for citizens and visitors. We will be adding 360 videos and more interactive things moving forward. It will still be much more accessible than the previous site."

Vision Internet Providers of El Segundo, California designed the new website; they designed the current one as well, six years ago (click).

The three year contract approved by the city council last February is not to exceed $31K for their services.
