Parks staff to adopt CityWorks and complete tree inventory; roughly 1,200 trees logged
Summary
Parks staff told the board they are integrating maintenance workflows into the CityWorks platform and have inventoried roughly 1,200 trees; linking the inventory to work orders will allow data-driven maintenance decisions and automatic updates.
Parks staff are working with IT and engineering to put maintenance projects and service orders into the CityWorks platform used across city departments. The director said moving parks work into CityWorks will let staff track hours, materials (such as dog-bag use and cubic yards of soil) and time spent at specific locations to enable better data-driven maintenance decisions.
The forestry update noted that staff are putting final touches on a tree guide and that an employee (Joe) has inventoried about 1,200 trees; staff plan to link the inventory to CityWorks so a completed work order can automatically update the tree record. The board heard the progress as part of ongoing efforts to modernize operations and improve cross-department coordination.
