Improve and Maintain our Infrastructure/Facilities BACKGROUND The City of Oconomowoc utilizes Geographic Information System (GIS) technology across multiple departments to organize, manage, analyze, and display information related to City infrastructure, properties, natural resources, utilities, and other municipal assets. GIS provides a centralized and efficient means of maintaining information that may otherwise be dispersed among paper records, databases, spreadsheets, and other sources. GIS has become an increasingly valuable tool for both day-to-day operations and long-term municipal planning. City departments utilize GIS for utility infrastructure assessments, property and parcel information, utility and public works operations, watershed management, development review, asset management, and field data collection. GIS also provides a means of preserving and organizing historical City information so it can be accessed alongside current data. This allows staff to better understand the history of City properties, infrastructure, and other municipal assets without relying solely on paper records or individual staff knowledge. The City has worked with GIS consulting services to develop and advance these capabilities to better meet departmental needs and facilitate the sharing of information across the organization. Continued development of the City's GIS system provides opportunities to further centralize historical records, field information, mapping, and other departmental data. The City's GIS consultant will be in attendance to provide an overview of the City's GIS system and its application throughout the organization. The presentation will provide Council members with a better understanding of the role GIS plays in municipal operations, the benefits it provides to City departments, and its value as a tool for preserving and efficiently managing municipal information.
