Geographic Information System (GIS) maps

GIS is a powerful mapping tool used for asset management, data visualization, and spatial analytics.  The Department of Information Technology manages the City's GIS Platform, providing a common platform for all city departments.  We also provide the public with immediate access to public records through web applications.
