INTER -OFFICE MEMORANDUM CITY OF BEAUMONT, TEXAS DATE: TO: Historic Landmark Commission FROM: Stephen C. Richardson, Planning Director SUBJECT: 1997 CLG Application COMMENT September 4, 1996 PD 357/96 , I ��C_ -1, - For the 1997 CLG, the Planning Division is requesting funding for travel expenses to the annual CLG conference for three commission members and one staff person. The 1997 Conference will be held in Lubbock. No City matching funds are required. After discussions with the City's Management Information Systems Division (MIS) and the Chair of the Historic Landmark Commission, it was decided that we would not pursue the PicBase Picture/Text Database Management System. The City of Beaumont is in the process of purchasing computer programs that will enable staff to accomplish the same thing that the PicBase system would. MIS feels that there would be a duplication of effort. I discussed this with Sam Pullig and we both agreed that we should wait to see what the City purchases and how it can help us with our documentation efforts. At that time, it might then be appropriate for us to ask for CLG funds to help us with our documentation program. Bruce Jensen, CLG Grants Coordinator, has told me that other cities with GIS systems have often used CLG monies to pay for overtime for data input.
