Business Problem Over the past two years the City’s GIS user community has grown from 1 department to 8 departments implementing GIS technology in their workflows and Business processes. Today, GIS technology has become an integral part of the City’s process for conducting business as a direct result of the continued professional development and hard work performed by all departments to generate and maintain data and associated layers for use in the Enterprise GIS. The City uses the technology in a variety of applications from law enforcement to utility mapping, economic development, parks and recreation, planning and zoning, and emergency services. The Enterprise GIS is the common thread that incorporates data from these disciplines, data traditionally maintained and isolated within a specific department. Technology Implemented The Network and computer platforms used include Windows NT & 2000 Server, Novell network, Microsoft SQL 2000, and an AS400 mainframe. Desktops and workstations are running Windows 98 SE and Windows NT 4.0/2000 Professional respectively. Network infrastructure consists of a 100 MB Ethernet full duplex fiber optic backbone running TCPIP over 25 routed networks. We are using the ArcGIS 8.2 (ArcInfo, ArcFM Energy, ArcView, ArcSDE, ArcIMS, ArcPad, ArcReader) application suite as the foundation for GIS initiatives and continue to use ArcView 3.x on Windows 98 SE computers. The City has developed desktop and web based GIS applications using Java script, HTML, Visual Basic, ArcObjects, Active Server Pages (ASP), and XML. Development Team Biography Todd Jackson, GIS Manager, Information Systems Department, 6 years GIS experience (4 years Municipal GIS experience).
