Paperless in La Puente

Don't be fooled by the headline. La Puente has plenty of paper, but they don't want to use it.

The City Council has asked staff to draft a “paperless” policy. If adopted, it would essentially mean all council members and department heads would no longer receive hard copies of staff reports, agendas or other routine communications, unless requested. Documents will be distributed electronically instead.

To all you Brown Act activists out there, don't fear: as required by law, hard copies of those reports and agendas will still be available to the public in all the right places, according to officials.

Council members say this is part of it's iniative to "go green."
I should note that not everyone is completely on board though. Councilwoman Lola Storing didn't seem too thrilled, and had this to say: “That means every city council person has to have a computer. Does that mean we are going to buy everybody computers?”

They already get one for being on the council, according to Mayor Louie Lujan.
