The system is designed to automate the semiannual inspection and determination of properties in need of weed and trash cleanup. The system supports three distinct business activities within the weed abatement process; these include field inspection and identification, integration with the City's code enforcement system, and the automated notification and cleanup assignment process. Once implemented the system has increased the effectiveness of the process, significantly reduced the amount of time required, and increased the overall accuracy. The system was built using MapObjects, MapObjects Internet Map Server (IMS), and Visual Basic.
