Wernersville borough has a new website to provide important
information to residents.
Here is the link: http://www.wernersvilleborough.org/
A resident who knows about website technology said he noticed
that his hometown’s website was unsatisfactory, so he offered to create a new
one.
Keegan Worley, a 2008 Conrad Weiser High School graduate, is
the financial controller for Runwell Solutions, an outsource IT company based
in Wyomissing.
At their meeting June 1 [according to records I just looked
up on the new website], supervisors voted 3-0 to pay Runwell Solutions as much
as $4,400 for the website.
A state grant will help pay for the website because it will have
information about recycling, environmental education and green technology,
officials expect.
“It’s letting my neighbors know what’s going on in
Wernersville,” Worley said. He noted that the borough also has a new Facebook page to engage with residents.
Supervisors President Steve Price said launching a better
website has been on a back burner for years. Wernersville had been using a site
hosted by Berks County, which staff had trouble even accessing.
The new website has copies of meeting minutes, which are
approved records of all the discussions and votes at public meetings. It has
the names of staff, elected officials and committee members. And you can read
the ordinances that deal with dogs, trash and weeds, and snow and ice.
Borough office workers will have an easier time keeping the
site updated with minutes, events and weather-related news. The site should
reduce calls from residents who can find their answers online.
