<br />~ <br />~~ILLS <br /> <br />MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />DATE: January 12, 2009 <br /> <br />TO: Mayor & City Council <br /> <br />FROM: Ron Moorse, City Administrator <br />J ames Lehnhoff, Community Development Director <br />Dave Scherbel, Building Official <br />John Mennenga, Residential Building Inspector/Code Enforcement Officer <br /> <br />SUBJECT: Permit Software Work Plan <br /> <br />Back2:round <br /> <br />In late 2007, the Community Development Department began researching options for new <br />permitting and code enforcement software. The existing permitting and code enforcement <br />software, PTWIN, was and still is adequately serving the City for daily permitting and code <br />enforcement needs for issuing, storing, and tracking. However, the reporting functions are <br />limited. While we are able to produce reports for most types of information requests, producing <br />some reports is time and labor intensive. <br /> <br />Although the primary purpose of researching new software was to address the reporting <br />deficiencies, we also took this opportunity to determine if there could be other efficiencies in <br />either adding custom programming to PTWIN for reporting or obtaining a new software <br />package. We would like any new software to be able to handle business licensing, rental <br />registration/licensing, and better track and report code enforcement issues. As part of this <br />search, we had three demonstrations for new software packages here at City Hall and obtained a <br />quote for adding custom programming to PTWIN to enhance the reporting functions. We have <br />also since obtained a quote for an additional software program. <br /> <br /> <br />x <br />x <br />x <br /> <br />x <br />x <br />x <br /> <br />x <br />x <br />potentially <br /> <br />Additional <br />Additional <br />Additional <br /> <br />x <br />x <br /> <br />x <br /> <br />x <br /> <br />Page lof3 <br />
