Mr. Hartley stated that the status of the study for Ramsey (included with 105 other cities and 6 libraries) is that the provider oonsultant, Control Data Business Group, is still in the [xooess of completing the study. ~he study includes a great deal of detail and there are several revie~ groups that have to review it for accurateness. Mr. Bartley stated that he has a oopy of a letter from Bill Joynes to Nina Rothchild requesting an extension of time to complete the study. Ms. McCulley - Inquired if the review groups are a [art of the Control Data Group and h~w much of a time extension has been requested. Mr. Hart/ey - l~eplied that Control Data is the technician and they have set up several employee groups throughout various cities to review the information. ~he letter did not indicate a specific extension time. Ms. McCulley - Inquired if Ramsey has established a timetable for implementat/on once the study is oompleted and if funds have been budgeted in the event there are inequities. Mr. Sartley - Replied that the City has not established a timee~_ble; the timetable will depend on the results of the study.
