Mou�ms VfE_W <br />City of Mounds View Staff R <br />Item No: 05D <br />Meeting Date: July 9, 2018 <br />Type of Business: Consent <br />Administrator Review: <br />To: Honorable Mayor and City Council <br />From: Nyle Zikmund, City Administrator <br />Item Title/Subject: Resolution 8986 PW Technology <br />Introduction: <br />Public Works has been engaged in software/technology upgrades specific to Asset <br />Management to aid in the inventory, management, and maintenance of our multi-million <br />dollars investment in streets, municipal water utilities, storm and sanitary sewer utilities, <br />parks, trees, etc. To that end, both Director Peterson and Administrator Zikmund had <br />probation requirements specific to addressing this issue. <br />Discussion: <br />To that end, Director Peterson and Administrator Zikmund have met and discussed <br />options and with the recent hire of Jacob Garoby as our GIS Technician he discovered <br />that our exiting ESRI GIS ArcView® software has the ability and functionality to custom <br />build forms and tables, all which can be accessed via the web to authorized individuals, <br />everything we need. The software also is able to generate and track work orders. <br />Since we already are licensed and skilled in this use, implementation is conditional on <br />adding 6 more licenses for an estimated cost of $24300, additional smart phones to be <br />phased in within the current and proposed operating budget, and purchase of a high <br />quality GPS device to accurately (within inches) locate latitude/longitude coordinates for <br />those assets crucial such as water valves. Devices of this sophistication range from <br />$7,000 to $9,000. <br />Director Peterson provided the Council an overview at the July 2, 2018 workshop with <br />consensus to proceed via the consent agenda for the first two items and upon purchase <br />of the GPS Unit, Council Business. This resolution covers the license and phone <br />Recommendation: <br />Adopt Resolution 8986 authorizing additional ArcView® Licenses not to exceed $2,300 <br />and purchase additional smart phones and plans as needed and within the current <br />2018 adopted budget and 2019 proposed/adopted budget. <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />A"4 21d <br />Ny1,(fZikry6nd <br />City Administrator <br />
