Orbitis owner Nicholas Gunner discusses his community web platform with Falconer officials during a presentation to the village board on Aug. 13, 2018.<\/em><\/p><\/div>\n

JAMESTOWN – Officials in Falconer are looking to improve the village\u2019s online presence.<\/p>\n

During the August village board meeting on Monday night, Nicholas<\/strong> and Caitlin Gunner<\/strong> from Orbitis<\/strong> provided the officials with an outline of online services they could offer that would help the village communicate with the public.<\/p>\n

The village’s current website<\/a> is a single, static page that provides a director of village officials and their contact information, along with a link to the village Farmers Market page and a note of when village meetings take place.<\/p>\n

The website is short on transparency and does not provide the agenda for upcoming board meetings, nor the minutes from past public meetings, budget information, taxes and fees, or expenditures.<\/p>\n

Falconer Mayor James Rensel<\/strong> said the village wants to be able to communicate better with residents and the public with a website that not only provides general municipal government information, but also an events calendar and a directory of local businesses.<\/p>\n

Orbitis was brought in this week to provide details on their services, including how their websites function along with the costs associated. The company has already created a website for clients including the village of Westfield<\/a>, the County Land Bank<\/a>, and the Roger Tory Peterson Institute<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The basic cost for having Orbitis host and service the village\u2019s website would be an estimated $1620 per year.<\/p>\n

No decision was made regarding upgrading the village website and Rensel said officials will continue looking into the matter in the coming months.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
