Director Kler briefed the committee on a FY26 decision package proposing $120,000 for GIS management services with Cultivate Geospatial Solutions (CGS). "CGS has made good progress in updating the city's GIS so far," Kler said, and staff will evaluate the level of effort during the year to determine future needs.
Kler emphasized that the GIS data remain city property: "the GIS data is ours; they're helping us manage it," he said in response to an aldermanial question about data ownership. Staff said CGS will develop dashboards to extract and summarize data for senior staff to monitor and report on operational information.
