County to discuss Website redesign for Finney County
Assistant County Administrator Randy Partington will present a $20,000 base redesign estimate to the Finney County Commission with optional add ons up to $5,000. The plan aims to move from a static site to an interactive county portal including department updates, bids posting, wireless alerts, and a sheriff database search. Hosting would cost $5,400 annually for 24 7 support and usability improvements. An unrelated item discusses purchasing a John Deere 7700 motor grader for $190,973 with a $135,000 guaranteed buyback from Murphy Tractor and equipment bidders.
