The Committee received and considered the report of the Town Clerk. The Chairman
commented that she had attended presentations from both companies – iBabs and Modern
Gov – and had been impressed with what was offered. She was interested to know what the
DSO and Town Clerk’s preference would be. Both Officers replied that in their opinion Modern
Gov offered a better package, largely because it was sector specific and had a good degree of
functionality. The Town Clerk explained digitalisation would make the production of
committee papers much more efficient saving time and ultimately money. She also explained
other time-saving functions of the system which could keep attendance records and also
produce action plans – all of which was currently done manually by Officers
.
A member asked if paper options would still be available if a member had a preference and it
was confirmed that it would be possible to print out papers via the systems or for the member
to print them at home.
RECOMMENDED:
1. that the report be noted;
2. that proposal 2 (Modern Gov) be accepted on a trial basis.
