Welcome to the GIS Home Page
What is GIS? A Geographic Information System (GIS) is a collection of "smart" map layers residing in a computer that represent real world objects. The "smartness" allows users to ask the GIS questions about objects or their spatial relationship to one another. |  |
How Does the City Use GIS?
Various City departments use GIS to make smarter and faster decisions regarding mapped data. Some of the efforts supported by GIS are public safety, planning, building permitting, engineering, and asset management.
