Ridgeland plans to go 'paperless'

RIDGELAND IS going paperless.

The city will no longer print paper copies of board packets and agendas for board of aldermen meetings and committee meetings. Instead, Mayor Gene McGee, the seven aldermen, city attorney and city clerk will each have an iPad for official use.

“This will reduce the amount of paper we use and the manpower in putting the packets together for each meeting,” said City Clerk and Human Resources Director Paula Tierce. “It’s something that we have been looking at for several years.”
