• <br />• <br />• <br />WS — Item 7 <br />WORK SESSION STAFF REPORT <br />Work Session Item 7 <br />Date: December 5, 2011 <br />To: City Council <br />From: Jeff Karlson <br />Re: Conversion from Paper to Electronic Packets <br />Discussion <br />A growing number of cities have made the switch from paper to electronic council <br />agendas for greater efficiency and cost savings. Mostly recently, the cities of Burnsville, <br />Coon Rapids, and Ramsey purchased iPads for the Council and management staff. <br />According to one manager, the expected payback for them is 18 months. <br />Staff has been researching various options for electronic devices, including the cost of <br />iPads, and whether there are potential cost savings for the City. We will have additional <br />information to present at the work session. <br />Staff would also like to discuss the Computer Purchase Plan, which is included in the <br />City's Personnel Policy. <br />Attachments <br />USA Today Article <br />Memo from City of Burnsville <br />Computer Purchase Plan <br />
