The <br />system would allow for consistent feedback from the community and <br />allow for better information on policy-based decisions. The mapping <br />system would use statutory requirements from the Growth Management <br />Act along with County and City codes. These requirements would be <br />made into assumptions in the program, the assumptions would then be <br />used as layers on a County map to help Planners see how different <br />policies could affect the County. <br /> <br />Dan Carlson, CDS Director stated that with their recent hire of a <br />Long-Range Planner this could be added to their workload. Jim <br />Goeben, IT Director stated with the hire of Jesse Potts, GIS Analyst <br />their department has the capacity and skills required for this <br />program implementation. <br /> <br />Dan Carlson will bring forward a project description, workload <br />amount, and a timeline for the Board to review at the next CDS Study <br />Session. <br /> <br />Meeting adjourned at 3:29 p.m. <br /> KITTITAS COUNTY COMMISSIONERS DEPUTY CLERK OF THE BOARD I KITTITAS COUNTY, WASHINGTON
