Agenda item

To receive and consider the report of the Office Manager concerning the digitalisation of the Council's burial maps, as well as being equipped for future home working if necessary.

The Committee received and considered the report of the Office Manager.  His report covered how the offices had been able to operate during lockdown although it would have been more advantageous and efficient if there was more mobile phones and laptops as some employees had used their own equipment.  He also highlighted the lack of digitalisation of burial records and has sought a quote which could link into the Council’s mapping software.

RECOMMENDED:  that the report be noted and:

1.                  that the quote for digitalised mapping of the Cemeteries from Pear Technologies be accepted;

2.                  that sales invoices be issued to customers electronically unless requested otherwise;

3.                  that the procurement of proportionate equipment (such as laptops/works mobile phones) be purchased for the purpose of continuing Council services while homeworking, be delegated to the Town Clerk and Office Manager.
