Galesburg Website Overhaul on Hold
The city of Galesburg needs a new website according to council members.

But just what is needed, is still unclear.

Council members were slated to consider a $29,000 bid by American-eagle-dot-com for a website redesign, but the measure was tabled for two weeks.

6th ward alderman Wayne Allen said there were too many unanswered questions to make an informed decision.

"I think we need to upgrade our website. There's no doubt in my mind," Allen said. "But when we do that, I want to make sure that we get what we need. I'm not ready for that decision tonight. Some information came to us late [Monday]. I would like more information yet."

Alderman will re-visit the issue in two weeks. Most seemed to agree a new website is needed but were uncomfortable approving a proposal they did not fully understand.

Only 3rd ward alderman Russell Fleming was completely against the idea at all. Fleming felt the current website was adequate for everyone's needs.
