Pomona Web site on the blink

Those seeking to access information or do city business with the
help of the Pomona Web site have been unable to do so this week.

As of Friday it was not known when the Web site will be available, said Mark
Gluba, assistant to the city manager.

Upon return from the holiday break city personnel learned Monday of the
problems with the Web site, Gluba said.

City representatives found the company that hosts the Web site, VPI Visual
Perspectives Internet Inc., had a change in personnel that has affected
service to the city, Gluba said.

The problem was supposed to have been addressed earlier in the week but has
yet to be resolved, he said.

When the Web site will be running again is not known, Gluba said.

City information technology personnel are working with the company and
exploring options to address the problem, he said.

The city may also seek a new company to provide the service since the current provider is
moving away from providing services to cities, Gluba said.

Monday night's City Council agenda, as well as agendas for other city
panels, are posted and available for viewing outside
the City Council Chambers at Pomona City Hall, 505 S. Garey Ave.
