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.
