The Imperial City’s GIS manager, Romero Ramos, briefed the council on recent digital mapping and asset‑management work, saying the city has installed ArcGIS Enterprise across seven servers, implemented single sign‑on and launched several internal and public GIS applications.

Ramos described a planned citywide rollout that coordinates with the asset management system (moving from Cityworks to Trimble Unity Maintain). “We installed ArcGIS Enterprise across 7 different servers,” Ramos said, and noted the team is transferring data selectively to ensure high quality. After detailed requirements gathering across parks, public services and innovation/technology, the expected number of distinct work‑order and inspection types increased from an initial 40 to about 760, he said, which in turn raised the expected number of user licenses from 25 to roughly 35.

In production: internal wastewater infrastructure mapping, a traffic conditions app that shows closures and detours, and a pavement‑conditions dashboard that displays ride‑quality metrics and overlays planned road projects. Ramos said he has already captured about 63 roadway projects completed by public services staff and expects expansion to include water, wastewater, stormwater, parks and land‑development projects. A public GIS web portal on the city website includes a feature viewer, a carousel of popular apps, video tutorials and a help section.

“Done is better than perfect,” Ramos said to describe the rollout philosophy; staff plan iterative improvements and will add editing tools for departments to keep public data current. The GIS work also supported data needs for the environmental justice element and a pavement condition survey; integrations described include AutoCAD for ArcGIS and Nearmap imagery.

Ending: Ramos said the GIS strategy identifies five strategic objectives and a short‑term roadmap; no council action was required at the meeting.
