Land‑information staff to use grant funds to split GIS and sheriff servers for security
Summary
County land‑information staff reported remapping work for the Town of Douglas, completed N911 uploads and that grant funds will be used to separate the GIS server from the sheriff's server to improve security and protect sensitive data.
Land‑information staff updated the committee on mapping and IT work funded by a grant intended to improve data accuracy and security. Staff said they have begun remapping in the Town of Douglas, completed uploads to the county N911 system, and plan to use grant funds to split the GIS server from the sheriff's server "because of the security purposes," isolating law‑enforcement data from public GIS services.
The staff presentation described the benefits of re‑mapping (improved public access to tax bills and property data) and noted that separating servers will reduce the risk of exposing sensitive sheriff department data. The project is underway and will continue as grant funds are allocated; staff did not specify a final completion date at the meeting.
