New Business <br />a. iPad Discussion <br />Chair Kunesh-Podein explained to the Commission that iPads were being <br />considered for all Commissioners in an effort to go green and cut down on the <br />amount of paper distributed each month. A survey went to each PREC <br />commissioner. A few comments by Commissioners are as follows: <br /> A Commissioner stated he did not feel another electronic device was <br />necessary for him. He does have a tablet that he brings. He doesn’t <br />feel the paper is an extreme amount. He prefers to have the cost <br />savings go to one of the parks. <br /> Chair Kunesh-Podein stated if individual commissioners refused the <br />iPad, we would not be able to put that money toward a park, but it <br />would go into the general fund. <br />
