PROGRAM GOAL: The goal of the GIS Division is to provide robust, user friendly access to “on demand” geospatial data and systems for critical government services that affect the citizens of our county and manage the county fiber optic / telecommunications network as a mission critical utility. KEY OBJECTIVES: 1. Continue to leverage key development environments to produce maintainable, highly effective software applications. 2. Create a highly available (HA) GIS/IT infrastructure to insure mission critical applications and data services are available 24x7. 3. Coordinate and facilitate interdepartmental and interagency cooperation to reduce duplication of effort and wasted resources. 4. Work with federal, state and local governments to create and facilitate cost-sharing strategies. 5. Increase access to the county fiber optic network by extending critical infrastructure to more partners. 6. Find ways to more effectively operate and maintain outside plant telecommunication infrastructure. 7. Increase efficiency of current staff by developing better GIS/IT tools to increase fiber optic outside plant operations and maintenance activities to help prevent communication outages due to fiber optic cuts and utility relocates. 8. Increase efficiency with technological innovation. PERFORMANCE MEASURES: Actual Estimated Adopted Performance Measures FY12/13 FY13/14 FY14/15 Full Time Personnel 8 8 9 Total Operating expenditures 616,581 658,337 759,459 Input Sunshine One Locate Tickets (Fiber) 4,028 5,035 5,300 RTK GPS Fiber Locates (Fiber) 1,800 3,000 5,000 External Requests for Data and Services 1,025 1,100 1,500 Processed Basic Geospatial Data Edit Functions (GIS 2,500 3,000 3,200 geospatial data sets) Output Maintain custom reports for various departments 200 210 220 GIS related website hits 75,000 90,000 100,000 Management of geospatial and other mission-critical data sets (in terabytes) 6 6.5 7.5 Weekly Ratio of Sunshine One Locates to Staff (2) 77 97 110 Efficiency Percentage of Geospatial/Other Mission- Critical Data Set Effectiveness 100 100 99.99 Availability
