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.

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.
