Question 28578 — municipalities

Summary

Ms. Séverine Gipson alerts the Minister of Territorial Cohesion and Relations with Local Authorities on the state of IT equipment in rural communities: outdated computers not equipped for remote meetings, absence of integrated cameras, non-existent microphones and audio. This current equipment was acquired for administrative tasks such as writing letters, emails or to carry out accounting operations following the implementation of dematerialization. However, in the era of fiber and new means of communication which are essential in rural areas where every meeting involves traveling by car, the generalization of remote meetings would be a valuable help, just as during major environmental or health crises. Indeed, for example, within the framework of the state of health emergency declared to deal with the covid-19 epidemic, an order of April 1, 2020 allows for a relaxation of the meeting conditions of deliberative bodies which can be carried out by videoconference or failing that by audioconference, during the state of emergency period only. As the conditions for access to IT tools are not met, access to a tablet dedicated to communication functions would allow greater adaptability and responsiveness between local stakeholders, in addition to economic and environmental benefits. Therefore, in order to facilitate the work of elected officials, she asks if she is planning a plan to equip rural town halls with digital tablets.
