Abstract
The City of Chicago's IMS-Based Automated Liquor Licensing System
Track: State and Local Government
Author(s): Jerry Johnston, Kauser Ravzi, Anna Fan
The City of Chicago has developed an automated system to facilitate the issuance of liquor licenses. Two ArcIMS applications were developed for this purpose--one that determines whether an applicant address is restricted for certain types of liquor licenses, and one that automatically identifies all registered voters living within a fixed radius of the proposed license site and sends them a notification postcard. This new, automated system offers a number of advantages over the previous paper-based methodology including higher overall accuracy in identifying potentially affected voters and a dramatic reduction in the time required to carry out the licensing process.
