At that time, the Steering Committee decided to open the project to all interested cities with a population of 5000 or greater. Municipalities agree to pay a participant fee to help defray cost incurred in maintaining the database, providing technical assistance and facilitation of committee meetings. Several cities have decided to collect cost information internally, however, they are still required to use the standard cost allocation plan method. The following vendors are available to participants in complying with these requirements. The Center for Governance does not endorse any vendor, however, these suppliers have worked with the project and contract directly with the participating city to collect data or provide assistance in the process.
Cities supply the appropriate information and the software creates various reports.
Maximus - DMG Maximus conducts surveys with appropriate departments within the city and produces a cost allocation plan report for an annual fee. This site was designed by Charlie Tyer and Suzanne Pavlisko. Copyright 1999 by the University of South Carolina.
