SUMMARY
In March 2017 we hired a new GIS Analyst Aaron Menza. Between Aaron’s skills and the ideas of Council
and staff there have been several modifications to the mapping capabilities of the City. Some of the mapping
is for internal use and some is available on the City’s website. We are exploring additional ways to pictorially
interpret demographic and other information to residents. We are also exploring differing feedback options.
The workshop presentation is to provide Council a taste of the various work projects and solicit any ideas
for additional mapping projects. The City is somewhat limited by the data we have available but do have
access to Dakota County information as well as demographic data from ESRI.
There are several items to present that will be available to the public:
Interactive maps include:
Parks and Trails
Current Development
Construction Projects
Zoning
New external communications include:
Comprehensive Plan feedback map
Demographic information
Internal work projects:
Police Call mapping
Internal employee GIS system
