I'm interested to hear from folks who work for local governments. I've
been asked to find out where, in terms of the local government
structure, GIS programs are based and what works well. As my
municipality moves forward with GIS, we are finally starting to address
staffing needs and we're trying to figure out the best way to proceed.
I'd prefer to hear from other small cities, rather than county
governments if possible, but all advice is welcome. Specifically, I'd
like to know if your local government utilizes any GIS civil service
titles, such as GIS Specialist and/or GIS Manager? If so, how many
positions are there and what department do they work under? Information
Technology? Planning? Engineering? Emergency Management? Public Works?
If your government does not have any strictly-GIS positions, who
responds to GIS work requests?
Planning staff? Engineering staff? IT staff? Outside consultants?
I expect responses will vary widely, based on the organizational
structure of local government, but I'm hoping to get at least some
insight from those who have already/or are currently tackling similar
issues.
It would also be helpful if you can tell me
1) approximate size of the population your jurisdiction serves
2) area of the jurisdiction (in square miles)
3) any additional advice you think would be helpful
Thanks in advance, for all input. If helpful, I will summarize.
