2. Create a publicly accessible archival copy of the City’s previous website, CityofBerkeley.info, that can be accessed without logins and via internet search engines. Include a prominent disclaimer noting the date the website, page, or document was archived, with links redirecting to the active website or other responsive resource.
3. On the new website, update Commission pages to include a minimum of 2 years of historic agendas and other materials and update City Council and Council Committee pages to include at least 3 years of complete materials.
4. By July 15, 2022 develop and make available to all City staff and to the public training at beginner to expert levels on use of the City’s Records Online search function and create more extensive and less technical self-help resources covering basic and expert use.
5. In recognition of increased public traffic, update the Records Online homepage to explain how the portal works and link to more robust self-help resources and alternative search functions.
6. Coordinate with agency staff to include all relevant records (agendas, minutes, etc.) from Rent Board and Housing Authority in Records Online Portal.
7. Update any remaining 404 pages to explain that the City’s website has been moved/updated, and provide links to helpful pages, search functions and/or pathways to access responsive materials. As quickly as possible, consider implementing redirects with wildcards to direct as many old links to relevant new website pages in lieu of the standard 404 page. E.g. cityofberkeley.info/planning* to the Planning Department site map/homepage, or Department Specific 404 page explaining new navigation.
Refer to the City Manager the following additional improvements to Records Online:

Tuesday, July 26, 2022 ANNOTATED AGENDA Page 14
1. Within Records Online, provide unique archival/search categories for each City Commission, Board, Committee and Rent Board, and consider other useful categories, to assist users in narrowing results and identifying responsive materials.
2. Allow Records Online search results to be sorted by date and by other searchable factors. Consider means to integrate records online into default site search bar.
3. Explore and report back to Council options for improving the scope of Records Online, improving search options and sorting, and making all materials – or materials from January 1, 2000 (or an earlier recommended date) forward, searchable using internet search engines.
