Council funds RTK GPS units to map city assets with centimeter accuracy
Summary
Council approved purchase of two RTK GNSS receivers for $27,070 to enable centimeter‑level asset mapping (catch basins, manholes, signs) and integration into the city's GIS, replacing current ~10‑ft accuracy methods.
Public Service described a proposal to buy two RTK GNSS receivers that provide centimeter‑level accuracy for asset collection and ongoing GIS upkeep. Barnes said the handheld receivers allow staff to "walk right to" assets and record precise GPS coordinates to support inspections, scheduling and data‑driven maintenance.
Council approved ordinance 17‑2026 as an emergency measure to appropriate $27,070 for two receivers (Discovery Management Group proposal). Barnes said the units will reduce field time and paper records and enable more reliable location data for manholes, catch basins and signs.
