<br /> 69-275 - "The United States Department of Housing and Urban Development is re -
<br />questing cities to submit proposals for the development or urban information systems. Ten grants will be awarde(
<br />by the Federal Government for the development of two integrated systems plus eight related s~b-systems. The
<br />computer-oriented municipal information sub-systems will be developed in the following categories:
<br /> 1. Public Safety
<br /> 2. Human Resources I)evelopment
<br /> 3. Physical and Economic Development
<br /> 4. Public Finance.
<br /> F or cities to qualify for these grants, they must have a population
<br />between 50,000 and 500,000 and must have demonstrated that it .already has a substantial investment in the terms
<br />of human and material resources in the development of the municipal informationsystem. The municipal informa-
<br />tion system must be integrated by function rather than on a departmental basis, and must be oriented toward
<br />situation and events rather than any particular municipal department.
<br /> The objectives of this program are to improve the information and de -
<br />ci~ion making capabilities of municipalities, to provide a broader approach in the research and development
<br />of municipal information systems, particularly the standardization of data and inventories of data, and to
<br />develop economic solutions to the problems of data acquisition and data management.
<br /> We feel that the City of Portsmouth has developed its data processing
<br />systems to the degree that it meets the criteria extablished by HUD to qualify for one of t~e sub-system grants.
<br />This grant would amount So approximately $300~000. I recommend ~hat we submit a proposal for a grant to develop
<br />one of the management information sub-systems."

<br /> Motion of Mr. Johnson to concur in the recommendation of the City Manager was
<br />
<br />adopted, without dissenting vote.
