County staff told the board they reviewed five vendors and recommended a contract with Accessible LLC to lead a manual audit of county websites, end-user testing with assistive‑technology users and tailored staff training to build internal capacity. Staff cited an April 2026 compliance timeline arising from a Department of Justice Title II technical standard for digital accessibility.

Gabby Durrett, marketing coordinator, and a website committee representative said the recommended vendor offered the lowest cost with a personalized approach and that the proposed scope includes two payments between January and June and is expected to come from the marketing professional-services line. Durrett said the firm has municipal references and that some vendors had proposed expensive full-site rebuilds; she warned that “widgets” alone often catch only about 30% of accessibility issues and can interfere with assistive devices.

Staff noted the agenda listed a contract amount and that, when reading the scope during the meeting, a slightly different figure was recited; the vendor and scope will be reviewed again by county counsel before the board acts. The presenter asked to place the item on a subsequent agenda rather than move forward at this meeting; the board agreed to return the matter next week for potential approval after legal review.

The board did not vote on the contract at this meeting.
