REGULAR MEETING DEPARTMENT HEAD INFO. TECH
Paul Jewell, Chairman explained that he asked Jim to request the
meeting with the Board. He explained that it is regarding a request
for consideration of a project that the Public Lands Advisory
Committee (PLAC) who would like to pursue with the County’s support.
Chairman Jewell explained that the PLAC would like the assistance of
the County GIS Staff to develop an App for smartphones that would be
an all-inclusive map that recreationist could download to use
throughout the year that would show the trails, hikes etc., that can
be used during different seasons. He stated that he thought it would
be a few hours a month and the data accumulation will take the most
time. He requested the Board allow funds to be used to develop the
app and the County could look into possibly charging for the app
pending the feedback received from the County Prosecutor.
Commissioner O’Brien stated he thought it was a great idea but
didn’t want it to consume a lot of their time. He felt that
Laserfiche is their current priority.
Commissioner Osiadacz and Commissioner O’Brien expressed their
support moving forward, noting that they would like it to remain
under 10 hours a month to work on the project.
Meeting adjourned at 10:00 a.m.
