Explanation of above estimates (including long-range effect):
The requirement of website content and information standards for executive branch agencies, county commissions, and municipalities will result in enhancements to multiple facets of the wv.gov website as well as the potential creation of municipality websites (quantity unknown). It is estimated that wv.gov and 290 websites will need enhancements and modifications at an average cost of $10,000 per site for the initial implementation of this bill. It is estimated that each site will need an estimated one hour of maintenance each month at an average rate of $94/hour. Further, it is estimated that an additional 1.5 hours of work will be required to support these efforts across 525 entities at an average cost of $16 per hour including benefits.
Memorandum
There is limited data concerning the number of and the status of county and municipality websites, therefore, impacting fiscal calculations.
