RECOMMENDATION Receive and File
Background
At its February 18, 1998 meeting, the City Council accepted a progress report on the Geographic
Information Systems (GIS) of the Community and Economic Development Department At that time,
goals and various projects had been established The purpose of this report is to give Council an overall
progress report on the accomplishments and hard work that has been+ performed to date This report
pertains only to the GIS portion of this dwisionr We are pleased -to state that we are well on our way to
accomplishing our goals+
Investments Made
EFFORT
The GIS Division, while still in its early stages, is the product of over two years of planning and
commitment and has involved the efforts of many people including Council Members, the CEDD
staff, the GIS Steering Committee, agencies within San Bernardino County, and private industry, such
as ESRI
FUNDING
The budget for the 1997-1998 fiscal year included $31,250 for GIS These funds were used to acquire
many items mandatory to the development and maintenance of a GIS division
-A new GIS workstation, as well as GIS software has been purchased
-Three additional workstations have been upgraded (Two for webpage)
-Several staff members received GIS training
-A new printer/plotter was purchased
-A projector and laptop computer were purchased, and both have already been utilized for
presentations in the council chambers and at other facilities I
-Expenditures have been made for special wiring and networking
CREATING A PRODUCTIVE WORKING ENVIRONMENT
The GIS Division has moved into the City Clerk's workroom where (it has organized an office area
SECURING DATA
Contracts already signed between the city and SANBAG (GIMS) will ensure that our geographic
database remains accurate and updated for the next two years

Tasks Accomplished
PRODUCTS
Maps, tables and other documents produced through GIS have already begun to be utilized in many
daily tasks
-Planners use maps to visually display their projects in Planning Commission reports and
presentations L
-Community Services, with assistance from the GIS Intern, has used GIS to develop pavement,
street sign, and code enforcement databases which would have otherwise not been feasible
-GIS has been used to make presentations considerably more appealing
-Economic Development staff is using vacant and underutilized parcel data and
maps for economic development efforts and marketing information
PROVIDE ASSISTANCE AND TRAINING
-The GIS Intern is currently working with the Building and Safety GIS/Engineering Intern and Volunteer
to update the Public Works sewer map and sewer data, as well as to create a indexing system for
Public Works files
-Parks and Recreation personnel have received training from the GIS Intern
EXPOSURE FOR GRAND TERRACE
-As a result of the exposure gained through involvement with ESRI, the GIS Division has received
correspondence from several GIS users and manufacturers within southern California as well as from
other parts of the United States and the United Kingdom A manufacturer of GIS software in
Birmingham, Alabama has given $4,000 worth of software to Grand Terrace for free in order to demo
their product It is would be very reasonable for us to expect other such offers in the future
-The City's own Webpage has potential to give widespread exposure to the city which could have an
economic impact by attracting businesses and -investment
**** www ci grand -terrace ca us**
-Refinement of the website produced by the Boy Scouts have been made by the GIS Division, and
updates are made continuously
CUSTOMIZING PROJECTS
GIS has produced useful maps specifically designed for the improvement of individual projects, such
as the promotion of the EVA and the Class If bike lane
=IN-HOUSE PRODUCTION
By producing an updated zoning map and updated General Plan land use map with GIS, the city no
longer has to rely on outside sources in order to receive printed copies of these items The new maps
are of a higher quality and accuracy than previous versions
Future Goals
The following are some of our goals for the coming fiscal year
PRESENTATIONS
GIS has already raised the level of communication to the Planning Commission and the City Council,
as presentations are easily put together in a professional and highly organized format
POTENTIAL SAVINGS
We now have most of the equipment and data necessary to begin additional GIS analysis and which
could lead to enormous savings (i e - potential use of approximately $500,000 per year of the 20% set
aside for pavement maintenance)
TARGET HOUSING AREA
Much of this database has already been created It can be used to assess residential housing in
Grand Terrace using various attributes such as the age, size, value and condition of each residential
structure Additionally, the Target Housing Area will be utilized in conjunction with the pavement
database to justify the expenditures of RDA 20% Set Aside Housing Funds
PROPERTY HISTORY DATABASE
Development of this database, which is a compilation the entire property history of each parcel within
the city, is well underway When complete, this will present an accurate summary of the changes and
improvements made to all properties This database includes all entitlements, zoning changes,
general plan amendments, land use applications, conditional use permits, and site and architecture
reviews Since this will dramatically improve the upon the current filing system, it will undoubtedly
increase efficiency within the planning department by significantly reducing time and effort spent in
their research and evaluation
We are proud of the progress and results of the GIS Division The level of investment, in terms
of time, staff recruiting and funding, has been significant With the continued support of the City Council,
the GIS Division will increase efficiency across departments, streamline procedures and provide the
best possible services to the public
