Battleford council moving ahead with chamber upgrades
Town of Battleford’s council chambers will see some improvements now that council has agreed to upgrade its meeting room with newer technology.
The project is estimated at about $7,400, in addition to the costs for SaskTel to install a line and a phone.
“In the big picture, $7,400 seems like a lot of money, but with the state of construction costs these days… it’s really not all that much from what it costs to get a fence built,” said Mayor Ames Leslie.
The work will involve retro-fitting the council table so it can accommodate microphones and have plug-in ports for charging computer tablets and other devices. A conference phone will also be installed.
