Abstract
GIS for a Small City Government
Track: State and Local Government
Author(s): Steve Cumblidge, Dragos Barbu
The paper will relate the experiences of the City of Grand Terrace (population 11,626), from development of the GIS in 1998 to its current status, with all the pitfalls and challenges such as budgeting, staffing, data sources and maintenance, and user issues. The paper will present basic issues applicable to development of a functioning GIS in a small local government setting. This paper is intended for beginners in GIS. The Grand Terrace experience may prove helpful for other small jurisdictions in developing their GIS programs.
