IT/Geographic Information System (continued) COUNTY SOFTWARE MAJOR REVISION RELEASES Since the county has in-house programming staff, millions of dollars have been saved over the years as opposed to buying expensive commercial counterparts that also require hefty annual maintenance fees. This fiscal year, the trend of saving taxpayer dollars continue by creating new county office software and implementing software enhancements to existing apps as employees make specific requests to improve efficiencies. Constant team effort! • A new “Go Work Orders” app was created to assist park and building maintenance support staff with reporting and tracking service requests of repairs needed at county public parks and county buildings. Statistical reporting is also available to the staff and management to analyze trends and issues. • All county apps received software and database upgrades such as the GoPermitsMobile which continues to assist the building inspectors with their daily inspections of construction to new and existing residential and commercial buildings all from the convenience of their smartphones. • GoBiz – software enhanced by improving tracking and search options for development services staff. • GoPermits – customer service features of this building permits app was expanded to provide additional inspection feedback reports to the building contractors. Also the new permitting fees and calculator tools were updated to assist staff. • GoCompliance was updated with a new automatic reminder call system of outstanding compliance issues GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEM - COUNTY MAPPING DIVISION The GIS mapping staff’s main job function is to create and provide maps to county departments and managers and also per request for businesses and citizens. One of the most popular features on the county website is the ability for citizens to search for data on maps and create custom maps on the fly just by entering their address. Please visit www.santarosa.fl.gov/gis for your mapping needs. GIS Milestones: • This year GIS staff worked diligently with E911 staff as they upgraded their computer dispatch center software to a more GIS mapping centric system. This joint effort was needed to ensure the mapping was updated to latest routing standards to quickly identify the location of an emergency along with the best route to travel for the responders. • Key map layers provided for the new Reverse911 GeoCast system. • New and current wall maps with street and hydrant locations were created for fire departments per their customized specifications. These maps also assist with providing joint aid to other fire districts. • New 2016 map books of the entire county, including color map pages of Navarre Beach, were printed and are available for sale to the public at the development services building.
