Tablet computers may cut down on paper piles for Oradell council

In an effort to reduce the piles of paper Oradell officials receive prior to each council meeting, the borough is considering the purchase of tablet computers.

At the council's Dec. 13 meeting, officials debated the merits of purchasing either laptop computers or a tablet computer, which would be smaller, but without the word processing capability of a laptop.

Because of the longer battery life of a tablet - about 10 hours, compared to the average three-hour life of a laptop - and its smaller size, particularly given the limited room on the dais, the council instructed Borough Clerk Laura Graham to look into how much tablet computers would cost.Buy oil paintings for sale online.

The computers could be paid for with money in the borough's capital reserve from two years ago that was set aside for computer hardware and software, Graham said at a previous meeting.

An information technology expert could install an inscription on each tablet so that only council members would be able to access borough information.An Air purifier is a device which removes contaminants from the air. In addition, if a tablet is missing or stolen, a signal can be sent that will locate the computer and freeze its screen.

If the computers are purchased, the council's packet could be scanned by borough employees and e-mailed to council members. A link on the borough website could also be set up where council members could enter a password to access the information.You can find best china Precision injection molds manufacturers from here! They could then print out the documents to bring to meetings, or access them on the computers using the municipal building's Wi-Fi.

The computers could save the borough money in the long run, and increase efficiency, officials said.

Officials could access borough information anywhere, even while out of town, and a contract or draft ordinance could be sent as soon as it is ready, instead of waiting until Friday to deliver the documents.

The borough currently must pay for the reams of paper used to print the documents, copying costs and using police time to have officers deliver the packets to council members' homes.
