St. Louis Area City Management Association (SLACMA) issues its endorsement and recommends its members to subscribe PublicSalary.com. More cities in that region are expected to subscribe the services in the near future.

St. Louis Area City Management Association is the professional association for appointed local government administrators in the St. Louis Region. The Association was founded in the mid-1970's by city managers and city administrators of communities throughout the St. Louis Metropolitan Area, including communities in southwestern Illinois.

The primary mission of the St. Louis Area City Management Association is to enhance and expand the professional competence of local government administrators in the metropolitan area in order to preserve democratic government and provide high-quality public services to St. Louis area citizens.

On April 26, 2004, Northwest Municipal Conference and CityTech USA, Inc. signed into an agreement that the two organizations will jointly market a government performance evaluation program, Dynamic Government Performance Measurement.

Two years ago, Northwest Municipal Conference implemented a performance measurement program for its municipal members. Today under the agreement, CityTech USA, with its unique technological capability, moves the measurement program online managed under a distributed system. Subscribers of the program will be able to enter variables directly online and conduct the measurement dynamically.

Dynamic Government Performance Measurement incorporates a number of features that make it an indispensable tool for local government administrators, including the following:

• Modular system structure allows independent evaluation of departments. The first modules are: Base module, Fire Department Module, Police Department Module, Community Development Module, and Public Works Module
• Online comparison with similar local governments
• Dynamic calculation of efficiency measures based on live data
• Reversed efficiency measurement calculation to see impact of potential changes
• Tracking of annual trend data
• Online report generation
Membership of the program is also modular. Members can subscribe, in addition to the required base module, all four departmental modules or one of the four and subscribe more modules at a later time.

South Suburban Mayors and Managers Association (SSMMA) issues its endorsement and recommends its 43 members to subscribe the services provided by CityTech USA, Inc. MMSSA is the 2nd municipal group to subscribe the application after Citytech USA officially introduced the new application in February, 2003. While two of SSMMA cities are current members of PublicSalary, the MMSSA made an easy decision after reviewing the system.

Located south of the City of Chicago, the SSMMA is an intergovernmental agency providing technical assistance and joint services to 43 municipalities representing a population over 650,000 in Cook and Will Counties, Illinois.

IPRA is a not-for-profit organization and public interest group whose members share the common goal of providing quality park and recreation opportunities for the citizens of Illinois. IPRA's 2500 members are recreation and park professionals, vendors, citizens and students who are committed to serving the leisure needs of a continually changing society. They are advocates for the lifetime benefits of parks and recreation.

Late March, 2003, the Finance Committee, IPRA, conducted a review of the application provided by Citytech USA and believed that the HT tool based on the cutting edge technology has obvious advantages over the traditional survey as a service the association had been providing to its members. The Finance Committee made a recommendation to IPRA members that they join Citytech, USA and leave the paper/pencil survey a thing in the history.

NWMC issues its endorsement and recommends its 46 members to subscribe the services provided by CityTech USA, Inc. Of 46 NWMC members, 31 cities have already been members of Metronet.org & Citysalary.com. With the endorsement from NWMC, HR professionals in these member cities will switch to PublicSalary and enjoy the cutting-edge technology in conducting their daily operation.

The annual membership fee remains as $295. According to Dr. Wu, CEO of CityTech USA, "the company has no immediate plans to increase the fee in the future." Along with those cities that are not members of NWMC, the membership of PublicSalary will increase by 63.
