Committee Chair Scott requested a training mid - February for <br />council members on the new technology in the Informal Meeting Room, and requested a brief <br />demonstration of the technology by the Clerk's Office staff. <br />Committee Chair Scott posed the question to the committee, Which technology would be best for <br />the Council: Surface, Laptop, or iPad? Personal opinions were given by Dan O'Connor and <br />Committee Chair Scott towards their experience and satisfaction with the Surface. <br />Councilmember Karen White said many council members have both an iPad and desktop, and <br />she thinks that it is unnecessary to have both. Dan O'Connor expressed the inability of an iPad to <br />replace a desktop. Santiago Garces said a few options can be looked at: rolling out new surfaces <br />for all council members or staggering the replacement of existing iPads with a Surface or laptop <br />option, all under the purview of budgetary investigation and review. <br />455 County-City Building • 227 W.
