Franklin County administrators reported and journalized a contract with Granicus for $565,372 to migrate county websites to the Open Cities platform to meet federally mandated digital accessibility requirements by April 24, 2026.
Kenneth Wilson, county administrator, said the contract and associated purchase order were approved on Dec. 31, 2025 pursuant to authority previously delegated by the board. "Failure to meet this guideline may expose the county to liability," Wilson said, noting the vendor required the agreement to be signed by the end of the year to meet the compliance deadline.
County staff told the board the migration is intended to meet federal guidelines for digital accessibility; the contract was presented as a single agreement previously approved under delegated authority and captured for the meeting record. The board did not discuss alternative vendors or a different timeline during the session.
County staff will proceed with the migration and report back as required by the board's tracking of administrator-approved agreements.
