Department to document and archive all relevant information about the County ' s infrastructure—this is a much needed effort that will need to be addressed as priority in order to ensure long term success for infrastructure mapping and analysis . Once complete and accurate water and sanitary sewer networks are created , it should become the responsibility of the GIS Technician in Utilities Services to maintain these datasets. This will require that the Utilities Services Department provide him with information „ regarding any modifications to infrastructure , including new development or changes to existing infrastructure . It is recommended that the infrastructure data that is generated reside in the recommended County wide Enterprise GIS database offering . This platform will allow for a rich environment for the editing and viewing of GIS data and flexibility for versioning and concurrent multi-user access . Other critical data layers that will need to be created and maintained by the Utilities Services GIS Mapping Section , in addition to GIS augmentation use , include the following : ,. • Solid waste collection boundaries Solid waste facilities • GIS layer depicting recycling bins • Location maps with reports on flow directions • Permitting and environmental compliance • Complaint mapping Redistricting maps • water and Sewer customer locations Proposed project information • Track maintenance records - for budget purposes Automated Vehicle Location fAVL ) The Utilities Services Department has expressed an interest in implementing AVL technology for its vehicles . This will allow Utilities Services personnel to track the location of all vehicles of the fleet , in order to improve response time and monitor the location of vehicles in case of an emergency . Implementing AVL can be very expensive . Therefore , the Utilities Services Department should coordinate with other potential AVL users ( Sheriff and Fire Department ) to potentially purchase one system that can work for all County vehicles . The department should use AVL in conjunction with existing mobile computing equipment to ensure that this information can be viewed in data browsers in the field as well as in operations offices . " e Public Access to Geo-Spatial Data The Utilities Services Department expressed a desire to participate in the county wide internet mapping application . At present, an internet mapping application is being used in the _- Property Appraiser ' s Office to disseminate information to the public . However, there was a stated need to migrate to a different application since the current one is quite weak on custom queries . Consequently , an alternate solution is being considered . The Internet browser should have the ability to incorporate data from the various departments as opposed to tax data alone . The Utilities Services Department can provide information for a mapping application that will enable citizens to view and analyze utility and infrastructure availability information . Typically organizations will allow for controlled publication of their infrastructure information to assist 147 GIS Needs Assessment and Implementation Plan Chapter 1 - Departmental GIS Needs Assessment
