  • Bryan Kriete, County of Santa Cruz DPW and chair, Integrating Info Asset Planner (Proactive Asset Management software) with GIS, GraniteNet, and Lucity. This integration generated a lot of new datasets to use/publish. Providing GIS support, developing apps, data for Stormwater consultant to develop a master plan. Working with Roads to begin mapping of new asset classes (such as guardrails or red curbs). In process of unwinding Post mile issues. Many roads have switched start and end points breaking PM’s and breaking associated assets belonging to (like paddle markers).

  • Gina Schmidt, AMBAG, launched ArcGIS Enterprise 10.8.1 on a single machine deployment. One Portal account leverages data store for data sets and 21 named users for the jurisdictions. Each of the 21 jurisdictions are updating PlaceTypes map applications and future development and growth areas for AMBAG’s long-range plan (2045 Metropolitan Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy). Working on a lot of planning projects, and getting ready to move into modeling for the MTP/SCS. Gina noted that the 2020 year is being treated as a forecast year so won’t have COVID-19 implications. The next long-range plan will be utilizing 2020 Census data, so that plan will show the implications of COVID-19.

  • Chad Miller, County of Monterey, noted that he has been working on evacuations for winter storm evacuations for debris flow. All have been lifted except near the Highway 1 slide in Big Sur. Working on parcel fabric with assessor’s office on edits and developments. Integrating parcel fabric for different apps and backend processes. County has moved to ArcGIS Pro.

  • Charles Hanley, City of Salinas, dealing with compliance issues for FEMA mapping. Have edits to make to achieve compliance. Working on map templates for General Plan.

  • Chris Bley, Insight Up Solutions, has been working with their long-range drone with vertical take-off and wing flight that allows for a longer range (F90+). 90 minute flight duration possible. Upcoming data gathering in Big Sur to capture 1500 acres of imagery. Having a lot of success with that platform. Working with Joby Aviation as well. https://www.quantum-systems.com/project/trinity-f90/

  • Randy Casey, City of Salinas, successfully installed ArcGIS Enterprise including Portal on a multi-machine server. Envisioned as being a phased in approach, service by service. Have to schedule when things migrate over as to not impede on staff use. Making sure the published data is the best available data. Upgrading to 10.8.1. Developed an application for sanitary sewer crew for the CCTV van and move it to a server, pull the data down and into a GIS realm. They can then have a dashboard for the sewers that they’ve done. Also linking a tree application to the 311 application and make integration more seamless for reporting tree issues. Deep into the realm of asset management.

  • Tony Cardoza, City of Salinas, changed drone platforms. Working with open data portal. Future growth areas and handling requests.

  • Will Condon, AMBAG, worked on disaggregation of employment data at the TAZ level for the years of 2015, 2020, 2035 and 2045 to be integrated into AMBAG’s model for the 2045 MTP/SCS. Preparing to begin modeling process for AMBAG’s long-range plan.

  • Randy Casey inquired about teams that are using PC tablets. Is this only for mobile applications? Stephanie responded that most teams using Pro for collection services for desktop based applications. No browser based application for desktop users only. Field application is for mobile or phone.

  • Bryan Kriete asked since Navigator is a premium service, when it gets integrated into Field Maps will it become free as a part of the suite of apps? Stephanie was not sure and will look into it.

  • Bryan Kriete said that the County of Santa Cruz uses Lucity asset management software, and asked if crews have Collector license, are there plans to be able to integrate with Lucity on the backend? It would make sense to have Collector for the crews as main experience.

 Response: Not sure of any workflows for that, doesn’t think there are any plans for that.

• 10:57 am: SC County DPW- Innovyze Info Asset Planner extension, Presented by Bryan Kriete

  • Randy Casey noted that Salinas had to develop a holistic system that includes pipes, manhole covers, etc. that has to be interconnected so if they bring them up on a dashboard. Does this system allow for that?

Definitely, can put the layers into a dashboard. Analysts would still have to update the network now and again, but still will be able to see what’s happening to the network and get a snapshot of what’s going on.

  • Randy Casey asked if the datasets are exportable or can be published

Bryan Kriete said yes they can be shared out.

  • Chad Miller asked the group about Enterprise. Monterey County serves named user license through Portal. Question is about serving ArcGIS Pro license through Portal: Their portal is externally accessible. Since they have their Pro licenses being accessed through portal, shouldn’t need VPN to access. However, staff is still having to go through license manager, since they don’t externalize their license Portal. Has anybody made their license server externally accessible?

Randy Casey said Salinas hasn’t but wonders why ESRI would want them to and it could open them up to having their licenses stolen.

• Next meeting will be Tuesday April 27, 2021

• 11:33 am: Wrap Up & Meeting Adjourned: Meeting adjourned by Bryan Kriete
