®CITY OF SOUTH BEND ( OFFICE OF THE CLERK <br /> mapping and address verification. A reoccurring issue was getting addresses to verify. If they <br /> verify automatically, it speeds up the dispatch time which is always a good thing. We have most <br /> recently been correcting any errors that a dispatcher may identify. We have a weekly update <br /> schedule for that. We just finished two(2)different analysis' of the GIS data. One(1)was provided <br /> by an unbiased third(3rd)party called GeoCom. They do analysis for multiple CAD Systems. They <br /> did one (1)for our TYLER System. They identified several areas of improvement and changes we <br /> can continue to make.There was another assessment done by Motorola. That is a direct competitor <br /> to TYLER but one (1)the center has been having some conversations on. That one (1)was geared <br /> more toward if the center was to be on the Motorola System. We can't really act on those, per se. <br /> Yes it is good information but I would say after seeing both analysis,the one (1)that GeoCom did <br /> for our TYLER System identified, most likely, everything that was on the Motorola one (1) and <br /> even more. The City of South Bend,the City of Mishawaka and the County have all been working <br /> collaboratively to do that. South Bend has taken the role of project managing it because there are <br /> a lot of tasks. We have the most resources as well. <br /> Committee Chair Scott opened the floor to questions and comments from the Committee and <br /> Council Members. <br /> Committee Chair Scott asked, How many hours have we spent on PSAP? <br /> Mr. O'Connor replied, Right now, the majority of the work effort is actually being done by the <br /> County. But I am putting in a couple hours a week. We are,the City of South Bend, is building a <br /> whole new GIS environment. Theoretically, we could be positioned to have that be kind of the <br /> GIS for the entire region. <br /> Councilmember Karen White requested a copy of the presentation. <br /> Committeemember Gavin Ferlic stated, Great job with the grants. <br /> Committee Chair Scott then opened the floor to members of the public wishing to comment. <br /> Lisa Artusi, 2411 Eisenhower Avenue, stated, Great stuff. I work at Kennedy Primary Academy <br /> and I run the planetarium there. I know how hard it is to get grants. That is why I'm here. I don't <br /> want to be in the wrong. I am trying to upgrade and innovate the planetarium. One(1)of the grants <br /> I am applying for needs signatures of support and I would like those from you. <br /> Sue Kesim,4022 Kennedy Drive, stated, Yeah, great stuff. I'm glad to hear you are doing stuff for <br /> seniors. Aaron Perri said we just need a bigger area for them to play cards, so. I'm glad to see you <br /> are addressing the seniors. I am a little concerned we have gone from two hundred (200) datasets <br /> down to sixty (60)that are not available to citizens. One (1)thing was the open checkbook and as <br /> taxpayers, we like to see where the money is being spent more specifically than just a big huge <br /> amount. I would also like to see online, as datasets,the TIFs and abatements with the breakdowns <br /> and the jobs that resulted in those as well as the APRA filings. There were over 10,000 APRA <br /> filings and I would like to see what it is the City could put online and then eliminate those APRAs <br /> because the information would be there and people wouldn't have to file an APRA. I would like <br /> to see the listings of those. <br /> EXCELLENCE I ACCOUNTABILITY I INNOVATION I INCLUSION I EMPOWERMENT <br /> 455 County-City Building 227 W.Jefferson Bvld I South Bend,Indiana 466011 p 574.235.9221 If 574.235.9173ITM574.235.5567lwww.southbendin.gov <br /> 4 <br />
