Battleford Town Council ushering in digital age
Battleford Town Council is now going paperless during their council with the purchase of new tablets for council meetings.
Town chief administrative officer John Enns-Wind said it’s going to be cost-saving measure. “Even with the purchase of tablets, this year we anticipate savings of approximately $4,000. On an annual basis this savings are expected to be around $12,000.”
The town will purchase seven tablets for a total cost of $7,120, including the software and extras like cases and keyboards. Council members will be able to use the tablets until the next term of council, where they will be passed on to the incoming council.
Council meeting notes will be uploaded to a cloud sever and council members will be able to download the notes onto the tablets.
