INTRODUCTION - The City of Orono has been a joint member and partner in LOGIS since 1980. LOGIS is a joint powers arrangement with 26 cities which provides computer hardware and software services to these members. It has the following programs that it offers: Fixed Assets * Police Information Deputy Registrar (Motor Vehicle Licenses) * Financial Control Geographic information * Permit and Inspection Park and Recreation Liquor Inventory Control * Payroll Property Data Special Assessments * Utility Billing Vehicle Maintenance (Cities pay for the modules they use) * Indicates modules Orono uses. LOGIS has proven for these cities to be a cost effective alternative to either other outside vendors or having a stand alone inhouse computer operation. Cities on the LOGIS system range from Orono as the smallest up to Brooklyn Park as its largest with many cities in the 20, 30 and 40,000 population range. Cities on the LOGIS system either; A.) have their own inhouse computer, called distributed sites, but do not need inhouse software support because LOGIS provides that centrally or B.) have terminals linked to the programs run on LOGIS's main frame computers. The LOGIS operation is located in Brooklyn Center•
