The 1984 budget did not contemplate this type of project. One
suggestion is that each department fund a portion of the pro-
gram. Manage: Willis stated there is a "Project Administration
Fund" which is money coming from the administration of special
assessment projects. This is an appropriate place to allocate,..
these charges as they are dgvelopment based. If Plymouth were.,,
not a developing communityo the study would r:ot be necessary.
He proposed that the study be undertaken and the City defer act-
ually buying the program until later In the calendar year to
give the staff the opportunity to test the utility of the pro- .'
gram and spread acquisition costs over two fiscal years.
Councilmember Schneider asked what the "Project Administration
Fund" has been used for In the past. Finance Director Ricker
answered that it was used to administer and plan future special
assessment improvement projects.
Paul Tischler explained the difference between the FISCAL and
MUNIES software programs, the latter being more inclusive and
Individualized.
Mayor Davenport asked what application Planning would make of
the program. Planner Tremere answered that the Comprehensive.
Plan must be reviewed and updated every five years. Either con-
sultants would have to be hired for the analyses and projec-
tions, or with the program much of that cauld be done in house.
The Planning Commission would be able to be more Involved in
long range planning. The Building Department could use the pro-
gram to better estimate personnel needs. He added that some of
the information which the City would have access to hasn't been
asked of staff !n the past.
Discussion continued on past instances when the program would
have been used in decision making.
Mr. Tischler stated that the process the City should follow is
to have a citizen group as well as the Development Council
review the assumptions and data base and aq,,,aee to them.
Mayor Davenport asked about the accuracy of the program. Mr.
Tischler answered that MUNIES is based on the input and should'
be updated as relevant Information is gathered which the staff
would have the capability to do.
Park Director Blank stated that he sees it as a tool for the'
Council in their decisions on park development.
Engineer Moore

stated that Plymouth is getting to the stage of
possible need to replace its Infrastructure. In

Assessor Hovet stated that to be able to predict one to five
years down the road what a mill will generate would be a tremen- ,
does tool for the City.
Manager Millis stated that he would like Plymouth to be In *a'
position of anticipating change and/or leading it and not simply
reacting to it.
Discussion continued on the selection of different development
scenarios for evaluation. Mr. Tischler suggests that four sce-
narios be evaluated. The Council discussed which of the three
scenarios should be evaluated in addition to the base case sce-
nario. .

Manager Willis stated that the City, rather than creating a new
Community Relations Commission, could accomplish many of the
objectives set forth In the Plymouth Human Rights Commission
ask Force report by joining the Northwest Human Services Plan-
ning Boavd. The City's two representatiaves to this Board,
together with the two representatives to the West Hennepin Human
Services Planning Board, could act as a Human Rights Commission
for the City.
Counclimember Neils stated that she Is convinced that by taking
such a step the City should apply for membership in the North-
west Hennepin Human Services Planning Board. This agency has
been serving Plymouth residents without City funding support.
Two City represertati.ves would have to by found.
Mayor Davenport stated he didn't want it perceived that the City
was withdrawing from Its commitment to human services. On the
contrary, the representatives would add a greater representation
for residents of Plymouth. He added he would like the City to
go forward but at the same time provide for a response from the
four representatives as to how they see their continuing roll
relating to a formal organization within the City. He would
like the Council to meet with them and review their progress In
