City shows public GIS hub, utility maps and development dashboards
Summary
Loma Linda’s GIS analyst demonstrated the city’s public GIS hub, including moratorium and development maps, utility and trail layers, open data downloads and a ‘story maps’ prototype; staff noted available as‑built plans and that the system lists service-line materials with no lead.
Henry Reid, the city’s GIS analyst, briefed the council on the tools available through Loma Linda City’s public GIS hub and demonstrated several map layers and dashboards the public and staff can access.
Reid said the hub includes a three‑year street moratorium layer that helps utilities identify recently paved streets, a development dashboard showing proposed and in‑construction projects, parcel and track maps with as‑built downloads, trail maps (including difficulty ratings), and utility maps for sewer, water and storm drains. He noted the water service‑line inventory shows no lead service lines.
"This is our hub site...you have the right here. This is what you see when you open up our city hub site or GIS hub," Reid said while walking the council through the map layers.
Reid also demonstrated a zoning/land‑use legend and a story‑map example for public art and parks. He supplied an Ezri account number for the city’s subscription (141420) and said the GIS program has been in place for roughly 25 years; he described field uses such as laptops in public works trucks and daily GIS updates by staff and interns.
Council members asked about private vs. public ownership of vacant parcels, the limits of city authority over private redevelopment, and planned university master‑planning. The council welcomed an upcoming vendor presentation on storyboards and population segmentation that staff have scheduled.
No formal action was requested; the presentation was informational and staff will bring vendor briefings to future meetings as planned.
