City of Pickering has budgeted $900,000 for modifying and maintaining its new website (delivery sometime in 2024). This is absolutely insane if taken at face value.
Every web design and managing company has been astounded by this budget figure. The public has not received any explanation of the figure, nor any details about how this fee can be justified. Most average single-owned websites cost a few thousand dollars per year, corporate sites are a few thousand more. All this suggests that the City of Pickering site costs should be significantly lower.
However, the City of Pickering has allotted $900,000 for its site, with no explanation or justification to the public.
This is insane, and a gross misuse of public funds.
