UTILITY MAPPING IlVIPROVEMENTS FOR SANITARY SEWER,WATER <br /> DISTRIBUTION AND STORM SEWER <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 /> Edwazds 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 aze completed by the City. <br /> McMillan asked if the City owns the collected information. <br /> Edwards stated the City owns it and the consulting firm maintains it on their server. <br /> Walsh asked if this is a 2-dimenional or 3-dimensional system. <br /> Edwards indicated it is 2-dimensional and shows contours. <br /> Walsh asked if it shows depths. <br /> Edwards stated it would show land elevations but not depths. <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 /> Edwards stated the important thing to note is that the data attributes for any particular piece of <br /> infrastructure are provided. <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. <br /> Page 22 of 26 <br />
