Council approves $5,000 mapping agreement with Washburn students for layered GIS maps
Summary
Washburn University students and JEO Consulting presented a layered GIS mapping proposal; council approved a contract not to exceed $5,000 to produce five PDF maps to support planning, permitting, and hazard mapping.
Washburn University students Leah, Gentry, Sebastian and Mia, joined by Sasha Hahn of JEO Consulting, presented a proposed GIS mapping system to the council. "The proposed system would create detailed maps showing parcels, addresses, land use, buildings, housing conditions, utilities, and 100- and 500-year flood hazard areas," the students said, describing how layered maps would support city planning and permitting.
Council discussed the benefits for maintenance tracking, permitting by property and decision-making by governing bodies. Polly Berkley moved to approve a contract not to exceed $5,000 to produce the five maps in PDF form; Cheryl Miller seconded and the motion passed 5-0. Staff noted the maps would also support creating a website with property and utility details.
