The City is stepping up their technology usage.

In an effort to go “paperless” each city councillor will be receiving an iPad to use for city work.

Mayor Dennis Fenkse says council meeting agendas are usually multiple pages long with attachments included, and that the iPads will reduce the City’s use of material resources.

During Monday’s city council meeting an iPad Usage Policy was passed. It provides a guideline on the usage of the devices. It states that council members are responsible for the iPads, and that the devices are to be passed on to future council members. 

Fenske says the new addition follows what many other municipalities are doing.
