overhead cost allocation plan and provide a consistent methodology to assign overhead costs based on a model of
benefits for services provided. The second phase of the study consisted of updating the City’s comprehensive general

CAP will provide a brief presentation on the study.
Fiscal Impact:
The total cost for both phases of this service is $41,198. The Finance Department budgeted for this expenditure in the
