STUDY SESSION:
55-1: Data Processing review
The City Manager stated the purpose of the study session is
to provide an overview of the staff's efforts in assessing
data processing capabilities. Deputy City Manager Lynne
Barrette presented the study. She described present uses of
the computer, its overload, and determinations which need to
be made regarding priorities of users, training,
possibilities of use, and present limitations among other
service considerations.
The recommendation of the City Manager's staff is to 1)
increase the degree of management involvement in data
processing decision-making; 2) retain a consultant to
provide a technical assessment of the current operations,
unmet needs, timeframe and options for consideration of
future upgrading; 3) receive Council authorization for a
Management Information Systems Administrator position in
I. Data Processing for research, analysis, planning and
management information.
She itemized goals which the staff is proposing to
accomplish in the next year: manage data processing service
in a more systematic fashion; increase understanding of data
processing~ and each departments understanding of the
other's needs; more efficient use of resources; hardware and
software; clarify needs and set priorities.

.
Council questioned whether software is readily available; if
protection is adequate regarding privacy rights; and time
involvement in corrections.
Council comments centered on inefficient programs, concerns
about the number of people involved in data processing
maintenance and the need to add another consultant to those
already retained by the city. The Deputy City Manager
explained that data processing is a highly technical field
and the advice and expertise of a consultant are needed.
The City Manager added that in the past, technicians had
been asked to make choices which are best made by those with
greater expertise. The Mayor observed that the Council is
asking larger questions -- demanding more of staff.
Pressure has increased to deliver day-to-day services as
well as future planning.
Mayor Pro Tempore Edwards commented that the present data
system is in the "dark ages;" a need exists within the City
Administration to catch up, and he questioned if planning
can include high school and college districts.
.
The City Manager commented that the staff will explore
involving the school districts and respond in an ensuing
report. He concluded that request for approval on personnel
changes in Data Processing Department will be on the
December 21, 1982 agenda.
S8-2: Hamilton, Rabinowitz and Szanton Fee study.
The City Manager introduced the study conducted by Hamilton,
Rabinowitz and Szanton to review the costs on City
government imposed by commercial office construction. He
stressed that the study does not recommend specific fee
policy. He also introduced Dr. Francine Rabinowitz who
indicated that the Objective of the study was to generate
information as to the cost and revenue consequence for
office development in the City of Santa Monica. The intent
of the data is to assist the City in fashioning rational
fiscal standards for judging the fairness of proposed
schedules of fees on this type of development.
She reviewed the methodologies utilized by her firm to
conduct the study. She also summarized annual revenues
generated by office development, annual costs attributable
to office development and methods for allocating such costs.
She detailed a profile of the office employees in Santa
Monica and their preferences for housing. She described the
relationship between office development and its impact on
housing within the City. She also described two cost
allocation approaches; the use of property value as a basis
for allocating costs which suggest that office buildings
contribute a small surplus, whereas if population is used as
an allocation basis, office development is being subsidized
.

by City taxpayers. She concluded that the two cost
allocation approaches indicate extremes: the actual
situation lies somewhere in between.
She also indicated that the study of housing demand
generated by ofice development depends on the social and
economic obligations envisioned by the City in assessing the
portion of employee population kept out of the City by
housing costs.
She summarized by indicating ratios on which the City may
choose to impose requirements on the building developers of
the office buildings to meet the housing demand. The
Council posed questions to Dr. Rabinowitz and the City
Manager.
At 7:35 P.M. Council adjourned the study session for the
regular City Council meeting.
A regular meeting of the Santa Monica City Council was held
on Tuesday, December 14, 1982, and called to order by Mayor
Yannatta GOldway at 7:45 P.M. Mayor Yannatta Goldway led
the assemblage in the pledge of allegiance to the United
States of America and introduced Major Fred Seiler of the
Salvation Army, who offered the invocation.
