Abstract

The report examines the applicability of Planning, Programming, and Budgeting System to the City of Winter Park. After briefly describing the character of the city, the goals are identified, the means by which they may be achieved and measure of evaluating progress toward them are given. To show how such an effort might be implemented, specific programs, objectives and effectiveness criteria are provided. These are followed by three examples in which the existing system is described and from which problems are revealed. Next, a brief analysis is performed to pinpoint the difficulty and a solution is proposed. The examples are chosen to illustrate a qualitative problem involving the organizational structure of the government, the next problem is more quantitative yet involves qualitative factors to arrive at a final solution, while the third example is entirely quantitative in nature.
