Council member Bedor on June 4 raised new business asking the council to move toward paperless meetings and reduce printed materials used for council packets.

Bedor said, "How can we, how can we work towards towards reducing the paper or paperless meetings?" Mayor Hirt responded that the council has previously tried electronic options and "we bought everybody these to get away from paper," noting staff efforts to accommodate members' preferences. The mayor also said staff would try to "keep that to a minimum."

Council members discussed that some participants prefer paper for personal reasons and that staff has been conscious of reducing paper use where practical. No motion, formal direction to staff, or policy change was recorded in the transcript; the item remained a council-level suggestion in the meeting record.
