Minto is going to spend about $30,000 to make the municipal operation less dependent on paper.
It will include digitizing documents such as large council agendas, as well as digitally storing many other municipal documents. It will also mean councillors and the public will follow council agendas on screens, rather than paper.
The cost of the new system is expected to be offset by an estimated saving of $12,000 from no longer producing paper records.
"We are at a point now in technology where I think we must do that to record our business in a more accurate and protected method," says Acting Mayor Ron Faulkner.
