GIS is a framework for gathering, managing, and analyzing data. GIS includes many types of data which are organized into layers of information and visualizations using maps. This allows deeper insights into data which can identify patterns, relationships, and situations that help users make more informed decisions. GIS is used throughout many areas of the City including Economic Development, Planning, Public Works, Facilities and Parks, Emergency Management, Housing, Utility Services, Capital Engineering, and Code Enforcement. Infinity Technologies has been working with the City since 2021 and City IT staff want to continue the relationship for the foreseeable future. The proposed Consulting Services Agreement with Infinity Technologies will allow the City to continue to expand on and improve the GIS usage across the City.
