The number one focus of local government has always been service to the people. As innovations advance, there is an opportunity to leverage new approaches that improve operational efficacy across all departments. Projects in this presentation include improvements in refuse collection, tracking time and activity, street light outage reporting, creating opportunities with improved address data quality, and fire response area improvements.

Featured Projects:
