2011-12-23 Friday News (2) December 23, 2011 December 23, 2011 Holiday Party Invitations went out this week for a holiday party at Mendakota Country Club on Friday, January 6, 2012. The format will be a little different than past years, as we enjoy dinner together. As an employee recognition event, employee and commissioner meals will be paid for by the city. Meals for spouses and guests must be paid for separately. Remember to get your RSVP turned in soon. There will also be a ceremony at the city council meeting Tuesday, January 3, 2012 recognizing employees for reaching milestones in their years of service. Records Management System The city council passed a motion at their meeting Tuesday evening authorizing staff to move ahead with a digital records management system. This new system does not change our records management policies, but does impact how staff and residents are able to access public documents. Crabtree Company, based in Eagan, is a local representative for Laserfiche technology which will be used to digitize all documents. The technology also provides a safe portal to access public documents and enhances the security of non-public documents. This technology will touch every municipal function, allowing staff to more readily find important documents created in 1956 right up to the last customer through the door.
