All I can say is that true up down the road is a killer, and you eventually 
will want to true up. To do this is robbing Peter to pay Paul. I would only do 
this as a last resort.

Just my 2 cents.

Folks,

As we here at the City are looking at a rather bleak next few years, I am 
considering every line item for potential reduction... I think y'all have been 
there at one point or another.

Among one of our biggest yearly ticket items is our Microsoft License 
Agreement.  I am considering dropping it and going to a pay as I go model.

Still running the numbers to see if that works, but was wondering if anyone 
else on the list has done this and what challenges they saw.

Any and all feedback is very appreciated.

~Pat
