What We Do

Geographic Information Systems (GIS) is a powerful tool used to map facilities and infrastructure by creating spatial databases for the data. With these geodatabases, City staff are able to create maps for a variety of purposes and perform spatial analysis to make informed decisions about future investments. The Department of Planning is the primary point of contact for the City’s GIS with a full time staff person dedicated to maintenance and administration of the GIS. Staff members from every department are involved in doing field edits of their data and typically use the data on a day-to-day basis. Planning will continue to administer the GIS and provide training to staff members from all departments to improve the effectiveness of GIS for all City departments. GIS data includes tax parcels, addresses, zoning districts, roads, drainage systems, utility (water, wastewater, electric) networks, City buildings, and many more data useful for various City functions.
