~ a~ <br />qty of <br />lk~ River <br />**ITEM 5.8.** <br />MEMORANDUM <br />TO: Mayor & City Council <br />FROM: Lori Johnson, Assistant City Administrator <br />DATE: July 17,1995 <br />SUBJECT: Software Purchase <br />The Building and Zoning Department is requesting authorization to purchase software <br />for computerizing numerous functions of their department and the Planning department. <br />The Building and Zoning department reviewed several software packages and is <br />recommending the FundWorks software package. I have reviewed the program selected <br />to ensure its compatibility with the city's current computer system. The FundWorks <br />program selected will function on our present equipment and appears to be a user friendly <br />• program that has the capability of providing a data base which contains information of <br />value to several departments. <br />If the Council concurs with the $12,000 expenditure for software, this is how the <br />expenditure is proposed to be paid: The 1995 Equipment Certificate budget included <br />$8,800 for this purchase. The remainder of the expenditure would be taken from the <br />Equipment Reserve Fund. In addition to the software cost, three or four personal <br />computers will be purchased at a cost of approximately $2,500 each. That expenditure <br />would also come from the Equipment Reserve fund. <br />council:comppurc <br />• <br />13065 Orono Parkway • P.O.
