The Urban Affairs Department will assess our needs and apply their expertise to the most efficient use of computers within the City. The service is supplied on a cost recovery system--we would pay their wages and expenses--which is a cost effective method. Through computerization, the City would have access to helpful records of other governments. For example, we would be able to access the County Auditor's records. Council will receive further information on this project as it becomes available. 3) The February issue of Corporate Cleveland listed the 50 largest cities in Ohio and ranked them according to bu et.
