City of Long Beach Integrated Municipal Information System. Physical and Economic Development Subsystem

摘要

The City of Long Beach, Calif., presents the systems conceptualization task completion report regarding the physical and economic development subsystem (PEDS) of the integrated municipal information system. This report marks the end of the second major task in the development and implementation of the comprehensive, integrated, computer - based subsystem for the Departments of Building and Safety, Health, Planning, and Finance. The Fire Department, actually a participant in the public safety information subsystem, will also interface with PEDS. The conceptualization task, which followed analysis of the existing information processes in these departments, created a framework for detailed systems design. Its processes included aggregation of decisions made within and between departments, rationalization of information flow, and realization of a course system design. Primary emphasis was on a plan which would identify all major information elements, the role of these elements in binding together system components, and assurance of an incremental and orderly system implementation. Subsystem parts as conceived during the task are the inquiry, establishment, permit, complaint / referral, violation, and inspections components. Included in this report are discussions of data base considerations, hardware / software requirements, data base creation, design, maintenance, and administration, component descriptions, input and output specifications, process flow charts, and methodology.
