Commission explores datasets, dashboards and a possible datathon
Summary
Commissioners discussed datasets (park usage, water-park attendance, field use) for a proposed datathon and the town's work on data warehousing and visualization to support dashboards for decision-makers.
Commission members discussed which town datasets could be useful for a datathon-style event — suggestions included park usage, water-park attendance, and field scheduling — and asked IT staff to identify additional sources on the open-data portal. The IT director said the town is working on a data-warehousing project and project-management dashboards to help administrators and the council visualize CIP spending and project lifecycles.
Commissioners asked staff to assemble sample datasets that could be used in a public forum or datathon and to share examples from other cities; the IT director offered to pull departmental datasets and suggested the datathon could highlight citizen data-science work that helps the town visualize priorities.
