CC-C SELECTION OF GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEM (GIS)
CONSULTANT AND APPROPRIATION OF ADDITIONAL FUNDS
The 1998/99 City budget includes $22,800 for the City's Engineering, Planning, and
Building Departments to establish a Geographic Information System. Said system would
be used among the departments to consolidate the vast amount of property information
used in the land development, building plan check, and street improvement process.
After interviewing several consultants, the proposal from Bill Matteson of A.C.T./GIS
was clearly the most beneficial for the City. The recommended proposal, along with
samples of their work is attached for your review and consideration.
It has now become apparent that to move the GIS system forward within this fiscal year,
an additional $13,000 is necessary to be appropriated from appropriated reserves.
Recommendation: Approve the selection of A.C.T./GIS and appropriate $13,000 from
appropriated reserves to implement the GIS system.
