various stages of their development. However, with a negotiated site purchase agreement for Fire Station #4, all projects are expected to have activity this upcoming year. Allocating revenue for this purpose will help address any cost overruns, design changes, and/or miscalculations in the original project estimates. $150.000 for continued data processing up~ades. Over the past few years, the Council has allocated funding to upgrade existing data processing systems. This action has resulted in the installation of a network for City Hall and the OSC (a network has existed in the liolice Department for sometime), the migration to MicrosoR Windows, the purchase of new 486 and Pentium personal computers throughout the City, a new land management system (which is now installed and operational), a registration system for recreational services, a new utility billing system, new central computers and new laser printers throughout the City. During the next fiscal year, major projects include expanding the network to City fire stations and a number of recreational facilities and the completion of a utility overlay for the GIS system which will map all existing water and sewer lines. While theses changes are substantial, continued enhancements are necessary to maintain production levels and provide information to the public in a timely manner. Projects to be considered for funding with this revenue include upgrading of the police network, implementation of an automated records management system, presentation software including purchase of a few color printers and enhancements to currently installed major software systems. If Council approves this allocation, staff will forward a proposed detailed project budget for review. $2.256.050 reserve for land purchases As discussed on pages 34 and 35 of the mid-term budget, as result of recent staff analysis, Council direction and/or proposed development, the CIP identifies a number of high priority unfunded projects which may warrant funding in the immediate future. These projects include funding a municipal golf course, purchase of 13 acres from San Francisco to expand the proposed 20 acre community park, purchase of the 3 acre site at Old Bernal from San Francisco for future Civic Center expansion, and purchase of up to 5 acres of land for expansion of the OSC to meet the City's expected needs at build-out. While the recommended reserve will not be adequate to address all of these projects, it will enable the Council and staff to develop priorities and financing plans for these projects. Because these projects are at an early stage and project costs have not yet been developed, it is impractical to make specific recommendations at this time. As a result, these projects will be forwarded to the Council for review as they are further developed. SR 96:197 7
