SUMMARY: In an effort to improve the District’s communication with the public, a new website has been designed and is ready for approval. Staff will demonstrate the model website and its features during the Board meeting. After the Board approves the “look and feel” of the website, the site will be fully populated and will replace the existing one.

Staff has been working with the Public Outreach Committee on the basics of the website. Input from the Committee has included “look” elements such as the color palette, images, layout, font choices, and overall styling. The Committee has also reviewed “feel” characteristics such as the movement and response of dynamic components like dropdown menus, buttons, forms, and galleries. The Public Outreach Committee agreed to forward the website to the Board for approval at its May 11, 2015 meeting.

RECOMMENDATION: The Board should review the proposed model website and provide direction to staff.
