CITY MANAGER'S REPORT - 94-86 - Letter from the City Manager recommending adoption of an ordinance to appropriate $180,000 from the Public Utility Capital Improvements Fund for the development of an automated Geographic Information System for the City of Portsmouth's Stormwater Management Plan. "The cost effective implementation and management of Portsmouth's federally mandated Stormwater Management Program depends upon the development and use of aerial mapping and survey data. This data will be digitized and stored in a computerized data base for the generation of accurate maps and plans which may be used in the planning and design of Stormwater projects. Future applications of this system in the planning, emergency services and assessment areas will allow us to gain new efficiencies in the delivery of services to Portsmouth's citizens.
