Agenda item

To receive and consider the report of the Deputy Town Clerk.

The Committee received and considered the report of the Deputy Town Clerk concerning computer provision at the Town Council.

Members welcomed the report and asked questions regarding the existing provision and the possibility of upgrading to a cloud-based server. The town council had undergone rapid growth in recent years and technology had grown within this time; this had led to a necessary piecemeal approach, but now was the time to assess the Council’s requirements.

The Committee were advised budgets were in place for these changes, and plans were underway to undertake a seamless transfer.

Resolved:

1.      That, the report be noted and,

2.      That, a change in IT provision and migration to a cloud-based server be approved and,

3.      That, the decision on procurement be delegated to the Deputy Town Clerk in consultation with the Town Clerk/C.E.O and in line with financial regulations.
