The solution selected will organize the data of the partners to provide an integrated and multi-functional view of all types of municipal information. Using a Web-based application, the service provider will handle data organization, cross-referencing, management, storage and transmission. The system it establishes will provide this data instantaneously to any of the multiple access points through which it flows out to end-users. While requests for information can take a variety of forms as they flow into various access points, each point will be served by the integrated data set in a manner that is responsive, secure, accurate and highly cost-effective. The proposed system will: 1. Provide municipal officials and staff with a tool that will support and enhance their own activities on behalf of the community and ratepayers. 2. Provide local officials and staff with a “role specific” module and interface to the system 3. Provides local officials and staff with a tool through which they can manage their own documentation; 4. Respond to public demands for better access to government information more efficiently; 5. Reduce the staff time required to handle general inquiries; 6. Integrate with established and new/edited Municipal GIS or other digital/spatial data; 7. Act a s a data repository to address the needs of the Provincial Asset Accounting requirements; 8. Act as a data repository for the Ontario Good Roads initiative; 9. Support Economic Development and Tourism promotion; 10. Facilitate partnerships with community organizations and display data sets from and for various organizations; 11. Offer a single-entry system for updating and sharing data such as business directories, economic information, membership lists of business groups, etc., 12. Use a convenient Web-based application that will be accessed from the Municipal corporate website, reflects the look and feel of the corporate website, and can be accessed by either Dialup or Broadband; 13. Provide certain taxpayer self serve options such as zoning changes, building permits, well and septic location, infrastructure enhancement plans. The Blue Sky Municipal Geographic Information System Partnership has already started to lay the groundwork for future cooperation and collaborations. The integrated GIS will allow a greater amount of information sharing amongst the municipal partners and will lead to further collaboration on the use of technologies and resources which will result in enhanced economic viability for the region. |
