Multimedia and Spatial Intelligence Mission

Enhancing public service with advanced multimedia and geospatial technologies through application development and engineering.

Geographic Information Systems

Geographic Information Systems (GIS) is part of the Information Technology (IT) Multimedia and Spatial Intelligence division. GIS Staff are responsible for administering, creating, maintaining, and operating the City’s GIS data, which is integrated throughout the City's GIS-centric applications. Daily operations include supporting the City’s enterprise GIS-centric business applications; creating and maintaining GIS map applications for the public; maintaining data in the GIS database; leading data capture/conversion projects; creating customized maps and reports for staff; assisting with mailings for City project notifications; and providing digital data and maps to City contractors, consultants, and the public.

City Website

The Multimedia division of IT oversees the administration of the city website. In addition to administering the content management system software, Webmaster responsibility includes leading the staff content updater group, providing technical support documentation and training to content managers, coordinating design changes, quality control and accessibility.

With the channel running nonstop, maintenance for the channel includes updating video content, scheduling showtimes, keeping an archive of content, recording live public meetings, and ensuring the necessary hardware is maintained or replaced.
