MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />February 9, 2015 <br />7:00 o’clock p.m. <br />_____________________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br />Page 22 of 26 <br /> <br />(11. NAVARRE STREET LIGHT AND SIDEWALK PROJECT – ENGINEERING FEE <br />CHANGE REQUEST continued) <br /> <br />Walsh moved, Cornick seconded, to approve the request by Bolton & Menk for an additional <br />$4,050 above the previously authorized not to exceed fee for the Navarre lighting and sidewalk <br />project. VOTE: Ayes 5, Nays 0. <br /> <br />12. UTILITY MAPPING IMPROVEMENTS FOR SANITARY SEWER, WATER <br />DISTRIBUTION AND STORM SEWER <br /> <br />Edwards stated this item relates to utility mapping and improvements for the City’s sanitary sewer/water <br />distribution and storm sewer systems. At the present time Staff utilizes a GIS system to conduct routine <br />planning and maintenance decisions. The system is used both by the Planning and Zoning departments as <br />well as Public Works. The City has been on a GIS system since 2008 and that system has been developed <br />and maintained by the City’s consulting firms. <br /> <br />Edwards stated over the last 12 to 18 months, the Public Works Department has collected and verified the <br />accuracy of the data and now that data needs to be put on the GIS system. Edwards stated the costly <br />portion is rectifying that data with a GIS technician to ensure that they are the correct data points. <br />Edwards noted some additional data still needs to be collected on the storm sewer system, and once that <br />has been collected, it will also need to be rectified into the system. Staff would recommend that this be <br />done on a continual basis as projects are completed by the City. <br /> <br />McMillan asked if the City owns the collected information. <br /> <br />Edwards stated the City owns it and the consulting firm maintains it on their server. <br /> <br />Walsh asked if this is a 2-dimenional or 3-dimensional system. <br /> <br />Edwards indicated it is 2-dimensional and shows contours. <br /> <br />Walsh asked if it shows depths. <br /> <br />Edwards stated it would show land elevations but not depths. <br /> <br />Martini stated the as-built information for those structures are tied into the system, and that if someone <br />clicks on a manhole, they would have the ability to access the as-built plans, which would give the <br />elevations. Martini stated the mapping piece is 2-dimensional. <br /> <br />Edwards stated the important thing to note is that the data attributes for any particular piece of <br />infrastructure are provided. <br /> <br />Walsh stated in his view this is an important system for the Public Works Department to have in order to <br />see exactly what the infrastructure is rather than relying on old maps. Walsh suggested Staff look into <br />what it would cost to upgrade it to a 3-dimensional system.
