section 1. The City Council hereby approves and authorizes
the contract, agreement, or other undertaking described in the

reference. The City Manager is hereby authorized to execute such

and computer fund budget, to fund said contract.
section 2. The City Council finds that the current provider
software application for facility reservations and membership at
the Recreation and Fitness Center are not Year 2000 compatible;
further, the Ci ty Council determines that the above mentioned
systems are essential to the provision of recreational services to
its citizens; further, the City Council determines that its
existing software provider for administrative and financial
systems, HTE, Inc., as selected in a Request for Proposal process
in 1995, has as a fully integrated module, a series of software
programs for the above mentioned processes, that are Year 2000
compatible and also have the ability to convert existing data to

the new system, as they have successfully done for other
municipalities.
The City Council determines that the most
economical and efficient method to replace these software programs
is to purchase the necessary fully integrated modules by providing
a supplement to the existing contract with HTE, Inc. Therefore,
the City Council authorizes this supplement to the agreement with
the city's current software provider, HTE, Inc.
