Clinton City Council Puts GIS Infrastructure Mapping System on File

It isn't often the Clinton City Council issues an agenda with no actionable business but that was the case Monday night.

 

The Council did, however, put on file a GIS mapping project for city infrastructure and plot outlines. Administrator Tim Followell on the WHOW Morning Show indicates this is a big deal because it will take all the paper maps and convert them into a digital map.

 

 

This is going to make often large and inconvenient projects much easier. Followell explains not only will it make some things easier, but it could turn into a matter of improved public safety.

 

 

Followell anticipates the November 2 meeting being when the agreement gets approved. After that, it is a matter of utilizing the paper copies of all the infrastructure and then uploads it to a digital footprint. 

 

 

Followell calls the mapping system an investment that will be around $70,000 upfront.
