Governing Body Goes Paperless

The Haysville City Council will begin to see a change in the way they
receive materials for their meeting. The Council, which receive paper copies of the
documentation needed to prepare them for meetings, will now receive an electronic file
that contains all of the same information. Councilmembers and the Mayor will view the
file on laptops provided to them.
Council approved the paperless packet system after learning the cost savings and
environmental benefits it would provide. In previous years at least 72 reams of paper
were used to create packets. The Haysville City Code is another lengthy document that
staff is looking into providing in electronic form to the Councilmembers and the Mayor.
The Haysville USD 261 Board of Education has been operating with a paperless system
for their meetings and the response has been positive.
