PUBLIC NOTIFICATION
I, Esther Beavers, Deputy City Clerk, do hereby certify that I have caused a true copy of the above notice and agenda to be delivered to each of the members of the Fairfield City Council, at the time and in the manner prescribed by law and that this agenda was posted at City Hall, 1000 Webster Street, Fairfield, California on May 12, 2022.

AGENDA REPORT
DATE:May 17, 2022
TO:Fairfield Housing Authority Chair and Commissioners
FROM:David Gassaway, Interim City Manager
SUBJECT:Resolution HA202206 of the Fairfield Housing Authority Approving a Lease with Thakur Incorporated for Office Space at 1525 Webster Street, Suites A & B and Approving up to $650,000 in Low Moderate Income Housing Assets Funds to Cover Tenant Improvement Costs for the Office Space
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adopt resolution.
STATEMENT OF ISSUE
The Housing Services Department (HSD) seeks approval to enter a fiveyear lease for office space at 1525 Webster Street (Lease) and funding of up to $650,000 for tenant improvements to accommodate the entire department in one centralized location and be fully compliant with U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) requirements, including confidential meeting spaces and Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements.
DISCUSSION
Currently, HSD offices are divided in two different locations, 1000 Webster Street (City Hall) and 823 B Jefferson Street (Housing Authority office), making it increasingly challenging to manage. Upon the formation of HSD, no office space was available to house the entire staff in one place. With the arrival of the new director of HSD, actions were initiated to add structure and cohesiveness to the department.
Bringing all staff closer together will ensure heightened consistency, accountability, and structure.
The Fairfield Housing Authority (FHA) is currently under a lease with Dennis Honeychurch at 823B Jefferson Street (Current Lease) set to expire on March 31, 2024. That facility has been sufficient to serve the FHA's basic needs. However, the facility does not meet more recent HUD required ADA or private meeting room space for FHA clientele needs. Due to early termination of the Current Lease, the FHA will pay rent to the existing landlord until June 2023. Staff is negotiating terms to credit the difference back to the FHA if the space is leased by another tenant before that date.
HSD was able to identify office space at 1525 Webster Street. It is sufficient to meet all HUD requirements and house all HSD staff in one centralized location. The office space is 4,169 square feet and is less than a 1minute drive from the City Hall campus. It has space for breakrooms, conference rooms, dedicated ADA public restrooms, filing space consistent with HUD confidentiality requirements, Packet Page 8 of 345

It has space for breakrooms, conference rooms, dedicated ADA public restrooms, filing space consistent with HUD confidentiality requirements, office spaces for each staff member, and lobby space for visiting guests.
The proposed Lease is for five years at $6,238.50 per month, including rental charges and triplenet fees (property taxes, property insurance, and common area maintenance for the building). The security deposit is $4,159 with rental payments to begin 120 days from the execution of the Lease.
Tenant improvements will need to be completed to ensure the facility fully meets the department's needs. An architect was obtained to assist staff in designing tenant improvement plans, acquiring bids, and work with a contractor to complete all necessary tenant improvement tasks. HSD staff has not yet received bids for rehabilitation work. However, tenant improvement costs are conservatively estimated at $650,000 and completion approximated at 78 months.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Total financial impact is $1,028,469; $828,469, Low Moderate Income Housing Assets (Low Mod) Fund (Fund 022 Responsibility Code 36001); $200,000, Housing Authority Fund (Fund 021 Responsibility Code 36001).
Rental costs are $6,238.50/monthly, $74,862/yearly for a total $374,312 for the fiveyear lease effective 120 days from the date of execution of the lease.
The cost of the new lease represents an increased rental cost per square foot of 28 cents. However, the overall lease costs to the department will increase by approximately $2,975/month, $35,697/year and $178,487 over the 5year lease term. The increased cost is due to the square footage and the fact that the space occupied by HSD at City Hall is currently provided at no cost.
The lease payments will be divided between the HSD and the FHA as follows:
$40,000/year – Housing Authority Fund
$34,862/year – Low Mod Fund
The security deposit of $4,159 and the tenant improvement costs approximating $650,000 will be paid out of Low Mod Funds.
Due to early termination of the Current Lease at 823 B Jefferson Street, the FHA will pay rent to the existing landlord until June 2023. Staff is negotiating terms to credit the difference back to the FHA if the space is leased by another tenant before that date.
PUBLIC CONTACT/ADVISORY BODY RECOMMENDATION
N/A
ALTERNATIVE ACTION
The FHA may choose not to approve the lease and tenant improvement costs. However, HSD would not be able to maximize efficiency and have sufficient space to abide by HUD and ADA requirements. The result of this would be continued inefficiencies for the department and possible findings from HUD.

1. State or local officials have imposed or recommended measures to promote social distancing; or
2. The agency has already determined whether, as a result of the emergency, meeting in person would present imminent risks to the health or safety of the attendee.
Council has utilized teleconferencing options throughout the pandemic, including remote appearances by councilmembers and public comments from citizens via Zoom, email, or teleconference.

There is little to no fiscal impact by this action. City staff is already utilizing many of the procedures for teleconferencing in recent council meetings and other meetings of the legislative bodies.

None.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION
The council may choose not to reauthorize these procedures, in which case they would no longer be able to teleconference into council meetings without meeting the notice requirements for teleconferencing that existed before the State of Emergency. Public comment via remote access would also be curtailed at council meetings.

FROM:David Gassaway, Interim City Manager
SUBJECT:Resolution 2022107 of the City Council of the City of Fairfield Authorizing Submission of Grant Applications to the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) 5339(c) Low or No Emission Grant Program and the 5339(b) Grants for Bus and Bus Facilities Competitive Program
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adopt resolution.
STATEMENT OF ISSUE
The City of Fairfield is currently developing its zeroemission electrification transition plan for Fairfield and Suisun Transit (FAST). City staff have also begun the procurement process to purchase battery electric zeroemission buses (ZEBs). This resolution authorizes the city manager, or his designees, to execute and submit grant applications to the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Section 5339(c) Low or No Emission Grant Program and the 5339(b) Bus and Bus Facilities Program to purchase vehicles, install chargers, construct supporting infrastructure, and modernize and expand the Corporation Yard’s vehicle maintenance facility.
DISCUSSION
The FTA recently released a joint Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) for the availability of up to $1.1 billion in competitive grants under the fiscal year (FY) 2022 Low or No Emissions (LowNo) Grant Program and approximately $372 million in FY 2022 funds under the Grants for Buses and Bus Facilities Program. Under the LowNo Grant Program, funds will be awarded for the purchase or lease of low or no emission transit vehicles including related equipment and facilities. The Grants for Bus and Bus Facilities Program will award projects that replace, rehabilitate, purchase or lease buses and related equipment or busrelated facilities. The FTA will accept applications under both programs and decide which one to fund the project with.
On March 15, 2016, the City adopted FAST's Alternative Fuels and Fleet Replacement Policy outlining the City’s intent to meet State emissions goals and eliminate bus emissions by implementing an all electric transit fleet. In April 2020, the City hired a consultant, Willdan Energy Solutions (Willdan), for modeling and financial planning services for the Fairfield Transit Fleet Electrification Project (project).
This project is providing a framework and business plan to transition FAST’s existing diesel and gasoline fleet to an all batteryelectric transit fleet by 2033. This project will also help FAST meet the Packet Page 40 of 345

The FTA will accept applications under both programs anddecide which one to fund the project with. On March 15, 2016, the City adopted FAST's Alternative Fuels and Fleet Replacement Policy outliningthe City’s intent to meet State emissions goals and eliminate bus emissions by implementing an allelectric transit fleet. In April 2020, the City hired a consultant, Willdan Energy Solutions (Willdan), for modeling and financial planning services for the Fairfield Transit Fleet Electrification Project (project).
This project is providing a framework and business plan to transition FAST’s existing diesel and gasoline fleet to an all batteryelectric transit fleet by 2033. This project will also help FAST meet the California Air Resources Board’s (CARB) Innovative Clean Transit (ICT) regulation that requires public transit agencies to transition to a zeroemission fleet by 2040.
With the City nearing completion of FAST’s electrification transition plan, the City is in an excellent position to compete for these funds. The City will purchase up to five ZEBs, and three electric chargers, make necessary infrastructure upgrades, and modernize and expand the current vehicle maintenance facility by adding up to four additional vehicle bays.
Modernization and expansion of the vehicle maintenance facility is necessary for public works staff to maintain FAST’ ZEBs as the current facility configuration does not allow for electric vehicle maintenance. In addition to transit vehicles, this project will benefit the public works fleet that share use of the facility and are also mandated to convert to electric vehicles.
The City is requesting up to $ 12.02 million from the FTA for this project grant application. The City is planning to match this grant with the following state and local sources:
$750,000 from the Low Carbon Transit Operations Program (LCTOP) $420,000 in proceeds from the sale of the Red Top Road split parcel $1,830,000 in Local Transportation Development Act funds FINANCIAL IMPACT
If awarded this grant, the City anticipates that the FTA could provide up to 80% ($12.02 million) of the overall project costs ($15.02 million) to renovate and expand the current vehicle maintenance facility.
The City would fund the 20% match requirement with $3 million in State and Local Transportation Funding. Because these are competitive discretionary grant programs, the application award is subject to FTA approval.
All operating and capital expenses for FAST are supported with state and federal transportation grant funds. No financial resources from the City’s General Fund are used for FAST expenses.

TO:Mayor and City Council
FROM:David Gassaway, Interim City Manager
SUBJECT:Resolution 2022108 of the City Council of the City of Fairfield Approving the Consultant Services Agreement for Geographic Information System Assessment and Strategy with Geographic Technologies Group
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adopt resolution.
STATEMENT OF ISSUE
The Information Technology (IT) Department seeks approval to enter into a consultant services agreement with Geographic Technologies Group (GTG) for Geographic Information System (GIS) assessment and Strategy.
DISCUSSION
The City of Fairfield (City) uses GIS across various departments for infrastructure planning, integrating GIS into various business applications for development and capital improvement projects (CIP), water utility projects, police 911 system, fire maps, and emergency and disaster planning. GIS technologies are powerful tools for improving the quality, accuracy, efficiency, and responsiveness of services provided by the City. An enterprise GIS strategy guides and focuses on:
Using mutually accepted standards, policies, and business practices Encouraging collaborative GIS efforts internally among City departments and externally with cities, government, and related organizations
Integrating GIS technologies into City business operations Supporting emergency and disaster planning, response, and recovery Maximizing the costeffectiveness of GIS investments
The last enterprise GIS assessment was completed six years ago, and staff is recommending a re evaluation for enterprise GIS due to changes in GIS architecture, business application technologies, and staff resources to continue to be effective in providing critical services.

GIS technologiesare powerful tools for improving the quality, accuracy, efficiency, and responsiveness of servicesprovided by the City. An enterprise GIS strategy guides and focuses on:Using mutually accepted standards, policies, and business practicesEncouraging collaborative GIS efforts internally among City departments and externally with cities,government, and related organizationsIntegrating GIS technologies into City business operationsSupporting emergency and disaster planning, response, and recoveryMaximizing the costeffectiveness of GIS investmentsThe last enterprise GIS assessment was completed six years ago, and staff is recommending a reevaluation for enterprise GIS due to changes in GIS architecture, business application technologies,and staff resources to continue to be effective in providing critical services. The new GIS assessmentand strategy would specify ways in which recommended solutions will improve the City’s operations and overall service delivery, streamline operations to achieve cost efficiencies, increase productivity, and support open and transparent governance.
A Request for Proposals (RFP) was released in December 2021, and six qualifying responses were received. A review committee comprised of staff from multiple departments evaluated each of the six RFP responses, conducted reference checks, and determined that the proposal from GTG best fits the City’s business, technological, and fiscal requirements. GTG has created and implemented over 200 comprehensive GIS Master Plans for local governmental agencies.
GTG will be conducting surveys, interviews, and workshops with city staff to do an assessment and analysis of the City’s current enterprise GIS. One task is to develop a governance plan that outlines the administration, maintenance, and support for the enterprise GIS. Another task is to develop an implementation plan to provide a fiveyear roadmap for GIS services and recommend a strategy with actions and next steps. The development and planning process will be a citywide effort involving key staff representing all City departments.
The objectives and deliverables of the contract will be:
1. Assess the current enterprise GIS
• GIS data gathering and needs assessment
• Technology (hardware, software, and network) readiness assessment • Organizational (budget and staffing resources) readiness assessment
2. Develop a GIS Master Plan (fiveyear) roadmap
• Difficulties: Risks, Challenges, Barriers, and Pitfalls • Governance and Staffing Model
• Schedule, Budget, and CostBenefit Analysis
3. Conduct a comprehensive GIS data assessment to assess parcels and address data sets to meet GIS business needs and enterprise authoritative source requirements
4. Assess GIS training, education, and knowledge transfer requirements and develop an enterprise curriculum and a GIS training portal
5. Assess the current GIS policies and procedures and provide recommendations and draft solutions
6. Develop Key Performance Indicators (KPI) or measures for GIS
7. Return on Investment (ROI) Analysis
The plan would serve as a crucial tool to measure the City’s current GIS performance and look at what we can and should be doing to continue innovating as we deliver projects and services to the community. The IT Department will update the GIS master plan every five years with annual performance reporting. It will help us identify the organizational priorities in line with our City’s Strategic Goals and the IT Department’s vision, mission, and values.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The total amount requested is not to exceed $150,000, which includes $139,960 to engage into the consultant services agreement with GTG for GIS Assessment and Strategy plus contingency in the amount of $10,040 from the Computer Services Fund (Fund 522, Division and Responsibility 99000).
PUBLIC CONTACT/ADVISORY BODY RECOMMENDATION
N/A
ALTERNATIVE ACTION
City Council may choose not to approve the proposed consultant agreement with GTG. This would negatively impact the roles GIS has in emergency and disaster planning, response, and recovery efforts. Staff considered developing a GIS Assessment internally, however, the benefits of obtaining an outside perspective that could provide industry best practices and experience working with other local municipalities was deemed essential to creating a framework that the City can use for the next five years.

new
state-of-the-art GIS policies and Standard Operating
Procedures (SOP)
Milestone 1: Develop and Document GIS Policies
1. External Records Transmittal Policy A policy for introducing data from external sources to the enterprise GIS. The policy includes in-depth forms and checklists designed to ensure data packages are complete and will conform to Fairfield GIS requirements.
2. GIS File and Static Map Naming Policy This policy is designed to provide guidance on standardized GIS and map file naming conventions. This should create and/or build upon and expand the City’s existing “Naming Conventions” policy.
3. Internal Filing Policy: A policy that describes the procedures for handling hard copy source documents (as-built, plans, record drawings, etc.) – how they are digitized and how they are stored.
4. Access to Drawings Policy: Develop a policy to push out more detailed drawings other than maps out to the field as some tasks only require mapping accuracy, while other tasks require engineering accuracy ( being able to see as-builts without coming back to the office, similar to how Caltrans has archived records of surveys).

Milestone 1: Kick-Off Meeting and Technology Seminar
GTG will employ its industry knowledge and
experience to conduct a remote Kick-Off Meeting
and Local Government Technology Seminar for
all potential GIS users and stakeholders within the
City of Fairfield. The initial presentation will last 60 minutes and will describe the existing status of GIS
technology within the City, outline goals and
objectives for expanding the use of GIS technology,
and review expectations for what is needed from
each department to meet the GIS goals.
It will also provide an opportunity for early
interaction with the GTG Project Manager, Mr. David Holdstock, and key staff. This presentation will introduce state-of-the-art and award-winning GIS solutions used in local governments across North America.

Milestone 3: Public Consultation Strategy (Addition to Scope) Our team understands that the modernization of GIS strategic planning must include public engagement and civic inclusion.
During a period of a global pandemic and civic unrest, municipal government has recognized the importance of connecting with constituents and fostering a sense of trust within local communities.
With online participation at an all-time high, many jurisdictions are increasing constituent engagement through digital communication channels. Public consultation, public comment, or simple requests for ideas from residents, businesses, or other interested parties is a strategy aimed at soliciting feedback from key local stakeholders on matters affecting the community. The goal of public consultation is to introduce open and transparent government to improve decision-making on large-scale and important projects. Public involvement is particularly important when it comes to shaping policy and decisions made by government. The City of Fairfield will be leveraging GIS and location Intelligence tools and technologies to best serve constituents, strengthen their communities and expand civic participation.
The City of Fairfield’s GIS Strategic Plan will include feedback strategies that will broaden public participation in accessing, creating, and using geospatial data. It is therefore important to solicit feedback from constituents. Our team looks forward to working with the City of Fairfield to consider all opportunities for internal, external, and public feedback opportunities.
Milestone 4: Remote Departmental Interviews
GTG will conduct departmental interviews with all stakeholders and users, including all current GIS technology users and key non-using GIS departments, via a remote video meeting for some, and in- person interviews for others. GTG will document each stakeholder’s and non-stakeholder’s roles within the organization and identify opportunities for GIS technology. GTG will perform a “Business Process Analysis” for each department. It is anticipated that each department will attend a specific online or in-person meeting with GTG staff. Each interview will last between 30 and 120 minutes. Participants will include, but are not limited to:

Milestone 5: GIS Needs Analysis
GTG will evaluate and assess all the information gathered in Milestones 1-4. All questionnaires and interviews will be summarized and documented. GTG will produce a “GIS Needs Analysis Report” that will document and discuss the key implementation issues and departmental needs, SWOT findings, Benchmarking, Gap Analysis, and KPIs. GTG will present all findings and recommendations to the City during an onsite meeting. This briefing will include an executive-level summary to all stakeholders that will include a one-hour presentation and an opportunity for discussion and feedback.
GTG will use the findings from the interviews to perform the following tasks:
SWOT Analysis
GTG will conduct a GIS SWOT Analysis during the departmental interviews. The SWOT analysis will assist in establishing a baseline of GIS capability at the City to develop an understanding of program strengths and weaknesses, as well as gain insight into how GIS is implemented and operated within the organization.

Scope of Work | 21
City of Fairfield| CA
Request for Proposals for GIS Assessment and Strategy
Benchmarking Analysis
GTG will interview the City’s IT and GIS staff. Based
on this interview, and information gathered during
the departmental interviews GTG will offer an
insightful benchmarking strategy that provides a
diagnosis of the current health of the City’s GIS.
Knowing the strengths and weaknesses of the
existing GIS is a good starting point and allows the
organization to prioritize investments and
resources. GTG will “benchmark” the City to identify
gaps and opportunities. The information used in
this benchmarking analysis will come from the
departmental interviews – paying particular
attention to GIS and IT. GTG will develop a Vision,
Goals, and Objectives for the City’s GIS.
Gap Analysis
As a result of the SWOT Analysis and the Benchmarking
Analysis, needs, gaps, and opportunities will be identified within the organization. A Gap Analysis is an attempt to identify areas of an organization that routinely
underperforms and identify areas of opportunity for
improvement. GTG will conduct a GAP analysis and develop a findings report. The Gap Analysis is based on extensive knowledge of the best Business Practices being used
around North America.

Key Performance Indicators (KPI)
GIS Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) or Key
Performance Measures (KPMs) are tools that will help
measure GIS performance over time. KPIs are task-
driven and allow accurate and reliable monitoring of
organizational performance. GTG will develop GIS KPIs to guide the development of GIS in the City. KPIs are a product of the SWOT, GAP, and Benchmarking analysis. GTG will develop a GIS vision, goals, and objectives for the City of Fairfield which will act as the overarching mission of the City. GTG will produce a Benchmarking Analysis that will include a “dashboard of existing conditions and future opportunities.”
Consensus Building
GTG’s experience in local government GIS Strategic planning allows us to understand the importance of consensus building. GIS consensus building is a key ingredient in the success of any GIS strategic plan. During data gathering and departmental interviews, our team focuses on including the right people, setting expectations, taking the time to assess who will be affected by the tools afforded by GIS, understanding departmental needs, and understanding roles and responsibilities. Our team also takes the time to explain problem- solving GIS-centric solutions, engage in group problem solving, focus on reaching an agreement, as well as maintain effective communication, and build strong relationships with City officials and department stakeholders.
We would like to offer the City full access to our 12-Part “Beyond Location Intelligence” Webinar Series free of charge for all Town stakeholders. Visit https://lp.geotg.com/beyond-location-intelligence and use the following password: GTGbli10.

Enterprise Data Management (EDM) Analysis
A Critical Part of an Organizations Everyday Operational Fabric GTG understands that Enterprise Data Management Planning (EDMP) should focus on a solid planning methodology and strategy. Enterprise data management is an organization’s ability to effectively enable local government staff to create, integrate, retrieve, deliver, and manage data and databases for internal and external use, while maintaining data integrity and
structure. The City of Guelph, ON, Town of Windsor, CA, San Mateo County, CA, City of Louisville Metro LOJIC, KY, City of Berkeley, CA, City of Roswell, GA, City of Vancouver, WA, and the City of Mississauga, ON with a population of over 1 million people are some of our team’s recent organizations that have planned and designed unique enterprise database management strategies. Each has supported strong data storage, back-up, architecture, data recovery governance, and cloud-based policies.
Our team understands that the main goal of any enterprise, resilient, sustainable, and enduring GIS plan must be to empower staff to MANAGE and SOURCE DATA within the City.
Every local government organization has different goals and objectives of an EDMP Strategy.
Our team clearly understands that “a good Enterprise Data Management Plan (EDMP) will establish effective governance, management, and uses of data, including metadata, within a full spectrum of the City’s business and organizational processes”.
The plan will define the capabilities required to establish, enable, and sustain an effective data management system that will eliminate redundant data collection, consolidate data sources and resources, and increase reliability and interoperability of City data and technology architecture. The EDMP is a foundational element to the City’s stated goal to promote technology innovation to better serve the public. GTG’s approach to an EDM analysis will include answering the following questions:
Does the City of Fairfield have the following?
1. Security of data across the organization?
2. Security of data outside of the organization?
3. Recovery of files from any point in time?
4. Recovery and restoration of lost data from reliable backup devices?
5. Is there a loss prevention plan?
6. Is the organization structure designed around data and data management? Packet Page 126 of 345Attachment 3 Page 26 of 74

Task 5: Assess the Current GIS Policies and Procedures and Provide Recommendation and Draft Solutions
GTG understands that the City of Fairfield requires that new state-of-the-art GIS policies and Standard Operating
Procedures (SOP) must be developed before it becomes a
true enterprise, sustainable and enduring GIS.
Milestone 1: Develop and Document GIS Policies
The following is a list of GIS policies required by the City. GTG will create the following policies:
1. External Records Transmittal Policy: A policy for introducing data from external sources to the enterprise GIS. The policy includes in-depth forms and checklists designed to ensure data packages are complete and will conform to Fairfield GIS requirements.
2. GIS File and Static Map Naming Policy: This policy is designed to provide guidance on standardized GIS and map file naming conventions. This should create and/or build upon and expand the City’s existing “Naming Conventions” policy.
3. Internal Filing Policy: A policy that describes the procedures for handling hard copy source documents (as-built, plans, record drawings, etc.) – how they are digitized and how they are stored.
4. Access to Drawings Policy: Develop a policy to push out more detailed drawings other than maps out to the field as some tasks only require mapping accuracy, while other tasks require engineering accuracy ( being able to see as-builts without coming back to the office, similar to how Caltrans has archived records of surveys).
Packet Page 141 of 345Attachment 3 Page 41 of 74
Scope of Work | 39
City of Fairfield| CA
Request for Proposals for GIS Assessment and Strategy
5. Map Layout Policy: A policy for creating standardized procedures and map products and developing standardized map templates in ArcMap.
6. New GIS File Creation Policy: A policy that details procedures for creating new GIS files in the enterprise including justifying the new data and providing a notification mechanism so that all GIS users are aware of the new data.
7. Data Collection and Editing Policy: A policy that details guidelines and procedures for data collection on existing assets. Include policies and procedures for data collection and editing.
8. Owning and Updating Layers: Document guidelines and procedures for who will own and update certain layers once they are created.
9. Team Charter: Document the purpose, goals, objectives, and critical success factors of the GIS Team at Fairfield. Create new and/or modify existing documents that will be revised and expanded.
Milestone 2: Develop and Document Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) GTG will develop Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) including the following:
1. Metadata Standards and Standard Operating
Procedures: Procedures for the creation and maintenance of metadata including data source, description, lineage, projection, use constraints, field descriptions, etc. Will create new, revise, and expand the City’s existing metadata document.
2. Geospatial Data Standards and Creation Procedures:
Policies and procedures for data creation at the City of Fairfield. Includes spatial (horizontal and vertical) accuracy, coordinate projection, metadata requirements, data quality, importing and creating data, process workflows, etc.
3. ArcGIS Versioning: Procedures for administration and use of the ArcGIS versioning environment. Includes administration of the versioned environment with ArcCatalog and how editors will use versioning in the ArcMap environment.

Task 6: Develop Key Performance Indicators (KPI) or Measures for GIS GTG understands that the City of Fairfield believes that measuring and monitoring the progress and success of
the tasks associated with an enterprise GIS is good
management. Developing organizational KPIs based on each GIS task outlined in the GIS Master Plan will allow the City of Fairfield to accurately measure GIS performance, quantify the accomplishments, and detail the benefits of GIS on a yearly basis. GTG will develop detailed and repeatable Key Performance Indicators (KPI) for the City of Fairfield’s GIS initiative. Each GIS task outlined in the GIS Master Plan will be accompanied by a way to measure, frequency of measurement and quantify its completeness.
GTG will use its GIS benchmarking strategy that includes over 120 GIS performance variables to create a comprehensive KPI strategy. This existing strategy will be supplemented by the City’s requires criteria.

CITY OF BERKELEY
Packet Page 162 of 345Attachment 3 Page 62 of 74
Berkeley, California is a city of over 122,000 people. Located in northern California across the bay from San Francisco, it spans approximately 10 square miles. The City of Berkeley is perhaps most famous for its University of California campus and the public Agricultural, Mining and Mechanical Arts College in Oakland. The City of Berkeley grew up around the site selected for the University.
The City is known for its academic
achievements, scientific exploration, free
speech and the arts. The City is home
to several Nobel Prize winners and is
ranked No. 5 on Niche’s List of Top 10
‘Best Cities to Live in America’ for 2017.
Though the City of Berkeley has much
to be proud of, officials are constantly
working on improving the quality of life
for their community.
Issue
As the City of Berkeley worked to build
its Resilience strategy, which included
a strategic goal to “excel at working
together within city government to
better serve the community,” City staff
soon realized that their Enterprise GIS
Program needed strategic direction; the
GIS architecture, business application
technologies, and staff resources had
changed. The City required a wholistic
re-evaluation of the GIS to ensure the
effectiveness in providing critical services
to all City staff and residents.
In May of 2016, the City decided to
pursue a GIS Master Plan initiative,
with the intent of finding a consultant
knowledgeable in GIS Governance
and technology best practices, who
could conduct a GIS needs assessment
and provide a GIS Master Plan for
the City. The City of Berkeley selected
Geographic Technologies Group (GTG),
pioneers in GIS Strategic Planning, to
help The City create a roadmap for
development of an enterprise and
sustainable GIS.
The GIS Master Planning Project
Ultimately, the City wanted to develop a
comprehensive GIS Needs Assessment
Report, Technology Readiness
Assessment, and an Organization
Readiness Assessment culminating
into a GIS implementation plan. This
implementation plan and associated
industry best practice recommendations
would act as a roadmap for the City’s
future Enterprise GIS. The following are
the six milestones established by the City
to reach this roadmap.
MILESTONE 1: Needs Assessment —
GTG conducted a needs assessment
for the City of Berkeley’s various
departments. This involved using
an online questionnaire, onsite
departmental interview process, and GIS
benchmarking analysis.
MILESTONE 2: Technology Readiness
Assessment — The City of Berkeley’s
hardware, software, and network were
evaluated on its ability to support an
Enterprise GIS. GTG created a scalable
conceptual system design for the City.
MILESTONE 3: Authoritative Data
Source Assessment — For the third
milestone, the City focused on the
quality of its GIS data. GTG created a
data assessment on the parcel and
address datasets, based on their
completeness and accuracy, and
identified the gaps between the data
sets and future needs.
MILESTONE 4: Organizational
Readiness Assessment — Focusing on
industry best practices, training, and
staffing plans, GTG created a report
detailing guidelines for organizational
structures and governance models.
MILESTONE 5: Implementation Plan
— To deliver the implementation plan,
GTG needed to provide a clear roadmap
of how the Enterprise GIS system would
be improved. This plan contains all
information and reports from Milestones
1-4, including a cost-benefit analysis and
a high-level project timeline.
MILESTONE 6: Final Presentation —
The last deliverable for the City was a
presentation of the entire GIS Master
GEOGRAPHIC TECHNOLOGIES GROUP
Ultimately, the City wanted
to develop a comprehensive
GIS Needs Assessment
Report, Technology
Readiness Assessment, and
an Organization Readiness
Assessment culminating into
a GIS implementation plan.
Packet Page 163 of 345Attachment 3 Page 63 of 74
Plan covering everything from the first
interview questions to the delivery of the
implementation plan package.
The Master Plan defined six goals the City
of Berkeley wanted to achieve in order to
implement a robust enterprise GIS that
was scalable, sustainable, and enduring.
These goals included:
1. Implementing a formal GIS
governance model
2. Establishing GIS procedures and
workflows
3. Developing a GIS staffing plan
4. GIS Training, Education and
Knowledge Transfer
5. GIS Data improvement
6. Building an infrastructure to sustain
an enterprise GIS
Solution
The scope of the six goals identified
above translated into a contract for
seven follow up projects with GTG to
place the City’s GIS on the road to an
enduring enterprise GIS. These projects
were directly linked to the results
of a GIS assessment, which led to
recommendations based on Berkeley’s
needs as well as industry best practices.
Utilizing the Esri software platform
and the Enterprise License Agreement
the City of Berkeley has with Esri, GTG
proposed to:
1. Conduct a comprehensive GIS data
quality assessment.
2. Deploy a Public web GIS Solution
utilizing ArcGIS Server, Web
AppBuilder, and ArcGIS Online.
3. Develop enterprise GIS policies and
procedures following industry Best
Management Practices.
4. Develop a Mobile GIS Deployment
Action Plan.
5. Develop Key Performance Indicators
(KPIs) or Measures for GIS for the
City of Berkeley to measure the
performance and progress of every
task identified in the Master Plan.
6. Plan and design a digital newsletter
to maintain a GIS culture of
collaboration among stakeholders.
7. Develop a comprehensive GIS
training program and web platform
for the City utilizing all resources
available such as online and
classroom workshops, videos,
blogs, social media, and brown
bag lunches and provide a plan
for knowledge transfer.
The City of Berkeley has invested in its
enterprise GIS vision by implementing
the recommendations in the strategic
plan roadmap. As a result, it has an
enduring, scalable, and sustainable
enterprise GIS.
Outcome
The City received its final implementation
plan in the summer of 2017. Cristi
Delgado, the GIS Coordinator for the City
of Berkeley, raves about her experience
working with GTG: “The staff at GTG had
the knowledge and expertise in creating
implementation plans that we were
looking for. I could not be happier with
their work!”
Since receiving its plan, the City has
taken several steps towards updating
its Enterprise GIS, including improving
communication amongst departments
via the new GIS Newsletter, The Pin Drop.
The City has also begun pursuing other
projects with GTG, including deploying a
Public web GIS solution, which enables
the City to openly share GIS data for
areas such as property and planning,
recreation, and city services. This public-
facing portal is accessible 24/7 and
serves to increase transparency while
reducing public information requests
and the need for a personal staff
response.
The City has also moved forward with
the creation of a comprehensive Mobile
Action Plan. There was previously no
mobile GIS available, so the GIS Master
Plan recommended a plan to provide a
roadmap for fully implementing mobile
technologies for City staff. This project
helped them to realize the return on
investment in utilizing mobile GIS and
applications for City operations.
Cristi Delgado said she appreciated the
work that Geographic Technologies
Group did to analyze and highlight
how GIS has the potential for greater
use and impact at the City of Berkeley.
The professional analysis of the GIS
provided an independent view that
she could share with decision makers
that helped her make the case for
applying the recommended changes
to the enterprise GIS. She said, “It also
made GIS stakeholders feel they were
being heard.”
The City of Berkeley is working hard
to maintain the best GIS the City has
seen and create a benchmark for
other organizations to follow. The
GIS data assessment identified areas
of opportunity to improve quality of
data for reporting to deliver high-level
analysis. Berkeley City staff are now
enabled with better decision-making
tools and with better data. GIS has
been implemented at all levels of the
organization, and the City is committed
to continuing education for all team
members to ensure the highest return on
its GIS investment.

CITY OF FARMERS
BRANCH
Packet Page 165 of 345Attachment 3 Page 65 of 74
The Most Critical Part of any GIS
Roadmap is the Governence Model
GTG and Esri Partner to Develop a Strategic GIS Work Plan and Governance Model for the City of Farmers Branch, Texas
The City of Farmers Branch has a
growing population of nearly 40,000
people and is in the Dallas–Fort Worth–
Arlington Metropolitan Statistical Area
(MSA). The City boasts their location as
“an oasis of small-town life in the heart
of big-city bustle.” Just minutes from
downtown Dallas, Farmers Branch is
quickly growing with families looking
to put down roots in safer, quieter
neighborhoods, with easy access to
idyllic parks, great schools, and state-
of-the-art recreation facilities.
Existing Conditions
To serve its growing community,
The City of Farmers Branch built the
foundation for an excellent, innovative,
and sustainable hybrid GIS governance
model. GIS governance refers to
all of the processes and actions
required to manage the planning,
design, implementation, and on-going
innovative use and maintenance of
Geographic Information Systems (GIS)
technology.
The conventional wisdom is that GIS
should always be located in the IT
department, as the IT department
serves all departments equally. This
model is typically supported by full-
time GIS Subject Matter Experts (SME)
in key departments throughout the
City. The City of Farmers Branch has
three full-time equivalent GIS staff
throughout the City, including a GIS
Administrator, a GIS Intern housed
in the IT Department, and a GIS
Technician and Senior Engineering
Specialist in the Public Works
Department. The remaining staff with
GIS experience are in the Parks and
Landscape Department and contribute
to GIS management. Overall, the City
has approximately 31 users of GIS
software in 8 departments.
The City’s small GIS team in IT
understandably centralizes GIS activity
by working for each department to
put-out-fires, make maps, and actually
do the GIS work for each department,
as well as maintain digital data layers.
The GIS Administrator and intern tend
not to be enablers, but GIS technicians
for each department. The general
observations about the City’s GIS
Governance Model is that “the city is
built out on a total of 12 square miles
with a population of 40,000 people,
and GIS is a one-man shop with 400
staff to support.” Therefore, the City
of Farmers Branch had some existing
centralized, decentralized, and hybrid
GIS governance characteristics.
Turning to the Experts
To add clarity to their situation and
work towards taking calculated actions
to grow their GIS in a healthy way, the
City contacted Esri and Geographic
Technologies Group (GTG) to assist with
the development of a comprehensive
GIS Strategic Work Plan.
City of
Farmers
Branch,
Texas
The evolution and maturity
of GIS governance in local
government over the past
30 years has seen a natural,
albeit clumsy progression
from a young decentralized
GIS model to a centralized
GIS model, to today’s
modern and mature hybrid
governance model with
regional characteristics.
GEOGRAPHIC TECHNOLOGIES GROUP
Packet Page 166 of 345Attachment 3 Page 66 of 74
Esri specialists and GTG CEO, David
Holdstock, partnered with the City of
Farmers Branch to create a business-
oriented geospatial strategy that
would help the City manage significant
population change and growth. To
effectively assist with the project, GTG
and Esri needed to understand politics,
personalities, lines of communications,
and all management variables.
Holdstock explains, “We knew the
resulting strategy must focus on
implementing solutions to address the
consistently expressed needs of the six
departments utilizing GIS technology,
so we conducted onsite interviews
of key stakeholders to gain a deeper
understanding of current GIS use and
structure.” It was determined that the
solutions presented must enhance
situational awareness and data-
driven decision-making, advance the
monitoring and tracking of resources
and spending, improve communication
to the public, and enable a City-wide
understanding of GIS. All this had to be
achieved in a way that was technically
feasible and sustainable with an
appropriate GIS governance model to
enable appropriate and effective use of
GIS technology.
Recommended Solutions and
Strategy
The City of Farmers Branch was in a
prime position to become smarter with
geospatial technology. A phased and
deliberate approach to meeting the
challenges of using GIS throughout the
organization provided opportunities
for improved efficiency, increased
productivity, time and money saved,
and better decisions made. Other
opportunities included improved
data access, automated workflows,
improved information processing,
compliance with state and federal
mandates, improved communication,
better coordination and collaboration
between all stakeholders, and data
made available for regulators,
developers, and the public. Improved
GIS also means responding quicker
to citizen requests, improving citizen
access to government, increasing
community safety, and effectively
managing City assets and resources.
Each of the City of Farmers Branch
departments emphasized the need
for all of the improvements listed
above but also the need for improved
guidance, deployment of data
standards, clarity of GIS roles and
responsibilities, reduction of manual
processes and associated wasted time,
and opportunities for open data and
data sharing with the public.
Based on these challenges and needs
as well as conventional wisdom
and best business practices in GIS,
GTG recommended the necessary
components required to implement
a sustainable Hybrid GIS Governance
model. Holdstock states, “Some of
these components included the
creation of a GIS Steering Committee,
hiring a new Geographic Information
Officer and full-time GIS Specialist
for the IT department, and the
development of GIS Policy, Standards,
and Organizational Mandates, among
many other recommendations best
suited for their unique situation.”
GIS Governance
The evolution and maturity of GIS
governance in local government
over the past 30 years has seen a
natural, albeit clumsy progression
from a young decentralized GIS
model to a centralized GIS model, to
today’s modern and mature hybrid
governance model with regional
characteristics. Today’s hybrid model
is characterized by a key GIS Manager
or Geographic Information Officer
(GIO) that is ultimately accountable
for all geospatial activity within the
organization, supported by the
right number of key GIS staff to
maintain critical data layers and, most
importantly, enable all departments
with desktop, web and mobile GIS
The ultimate success of an enterprise-wide GIS will
depend on the ability to govern and manage GIS in an
evolving multi-departmental environment. It must
include complex strategic, technical, tactical, logistical, and political issues that accompany GIS technology.

solutions (Holdstock, David. Strategic
GIS Planning and Management in Local
Government, 2016).
GIS governance is a social and
political process, and the aggregated
experiences of local government
organizations prove that achieving an
operational GIS does not guarantee
its use. Correct implementation
of an appropriate governance
model can give rise to positive
and beneficial characteristics in an
organization. Conversely, selecting
and or implementing a poorly suited
governance model that does not follow
basic implementation principles can
have negative consequences. The
ultimate success of an enterprise-wide
GIS will depend on the ability to govern
and manage GIS in an evolving multi-
departmental environment. It must
include complex strategic, technical,
tactical, logistical, and political issues
that accompany GIS technology.
Many local governments utilize a
Hybrid GIS Governance model: An
approach that incorporates the
benefits of each of the centralized and
decentralized organizational models
is a happy medium — the best of both
worlds — and this was the model
selected for implementation by the City
of Farmers Branch.
Benefits
A Hybrid GIS Governance model for
The City of Farmers Branch uses dual
accountability along functional lines.
When successfully implemented, the
hybrid model benefits the organization
in many ways:
• Shared costs
• Database management and
maintenance
• Network and server resources
• Highly specialized GIS staff
• Improved efficiency
• Integrated multi-departmental
solutions can be implemented
• Central data warehouse
• Team-based processes (critical
functions are no longer one
person deep)
• Improved data quality
• Departmental ownership of
relevant datasets is maintained
• Automated validation routines
• Real-time distribution of data
• Improved end-user support
With the creation of a Hybrid
GIS Governance model for their
organization, and technology
implemented to maintain data and
support their GIS infrastructure, The
City of Farmers Branch was well on its
way to fulfilling a full set of GIS goals
and objectives in alignment with GTG’s
Six Pillars of GIS Sustainability:
1. Governance - Implement an
Optimum GIS Governance Model
2. Data & Databases - Design,
Build, Update, Collect, and Maintain

Conclusion
The City of Farmers Branch required a
GIS Strategic Work Plan and retained
Esri specialists and GTG to make
it happen. Onsite collaboration
for department interviews and
presentations were utilized to identify
primary GIS needs and to educate the
team on best practices and practical
solutions. While Esri specialists worked
on implementing technological
solutions, GTG was tasked with
building a plan to best manage GIS/
digital data and databases, as well as
training and education for internal
teams – the governance of the GIS.
With the results from an onsite
needs assessment in hand, GTG
developed recommendations for
what a new, enterprise-level, Hybrid
GIS Governance Model would look
like. With the combined knowledge
and resources of Esri specialists for
technology solutions and GTG for a
governance model, The City of Farmers
Branch created a comprehensive GIS
Strategic Work Plan with a Hybrid
Governance model that will serve
their organization through years of
aggressive growth.

City of Tulare, California
A FOUNDATION FOR
GIS EXPANSION
Packet Page 170 of 345Attachment 3 Page 70 of 74
Building a Foundation for GIS Expansion
with Strategic Planning in Central California
Background
Located in the heart of the San Joaquin
Valley, the City of Tulare, California
is situated nearly equidistant from
four major ports around the state.
With airport, rail, and highway access,
Tulare is a central hub for product
movement. The City hosts the annual
World Agriculture Expo and is home
to several food processing and
distribution centers such as Land
O’Lakes, Nestlé, Häagen-Dazs, and
Kraft. The City government serves
about 65,000 residents within its 21
sq. mile boundary and has ample
opportunities for innovative GIS
applications.
The City of Tulare GIS was primarily
established for the support of Public
Works and Planning by consulting firms
that created several core datasets
for water, sewer, stormwater, zoning,
land use, etc. The existing GIS services
were based on hosted/cloud-based
GIS applications and consulting,
with limited in-house GIS work. The
City’s GIS program was in place for
several years when the IT and GIS
teams realized they needed to build
a foundation for GIS expansion. A
tactical plan would be required to
serve as a roadmap for the successful
incorporation of geospatial technology
throughout City operations.
In 2019, the City partnered with
Geographic Technologies Group (GTG)
to prepare a GIS Strategic Master Plan
to provide direction to the GIS initiative
and ensure that the City’s investment is
managed effectively. The strategic plan
would be based on GTG’s extensive
and award-winning experience in GIS
strategic planning for local government
organizations. GTGs unique concept
of the Six GIS Pillars of Sustainability
is designed to determine the existing
status of an organization’s GIS program
and recommend a step-by-step course
of action to guide the Governance;
Data and Databases; GIS Software;
Procedures, Workflow, and Integration;
Infrastructure; and Knowledge
Transfer, Training, and Education of GIS
and its components over the course of
several years.
Project Overview
Starting in October 2019, GTG set out
to provide the City of Tulare with a
detailed, innovative, and sustainable
three-year GIS plan, with the goal
of developing an enterprise-wide,
scalable, and enduring GIS program
that would meet the stakeholders’
current and evolving needs. GTG’s
methodology for the project included
three phases:
1. Phase I: GIS Needs Assessment
2. Phase II: Conceptual Alternative
System Design
3. Phase III: Enterprise GIS
Master Plan
To kick-off the project, GTG CEO David
Holdstock held a GIS Technology
Seminar with all potential GIS users.
The engaging presentation introduced
how GIS and geospatial technology
is used within local government and
detailed the scope of the project as
well as the methodologies GTG would
use to help the City unlock the full
potential of GIS.
The goal of Phase I was to gather
information about the existing
conditions and future needs of the City
regarding geospatial technology. Using
GTG’s benchmarking technique and
departmental interviews, a plethora
of governance, data, application, and
integration needs were discovered
and documented in a comprehensive
GIS Needs Assessment report. The
most significant items found during
this process were the ‘GIS Governance
Group’ and ‘GIS Working Group’ that
the IT Manager had the foresight
to organize in preparation for this
project. GTG realizes the importance of
oversight and participation, so it was
recommended that the City formalize
these groups as a GIS Steering
Committee and GIS User Group to
guide the GIS program growth.
In Phase II, all the information gathered
was used to develop a GIS architecture
and system design with standards
and processes to meet most, if not
all, of the needs of the organization in
terms of performance, effectiveness,
sustainability, and economics.
Strategies for success were outlined
for each of the Six Pillars of
Sustainability in the Conceptual
Alternative System Design.
Key to the GIS Software Strategy
proposed for the City is deploying
Esri’s ArcGIS Hub to provide access
to the numerous Web Applications,
Dashboards, Story Maps, and Open
Data that were recommended in the
plan. Within an ArcGIS Hub, GIS maps
and applications are accessible from
Tulare
Countryside,
California
GTG set out to provide
the City of Tulare with a
detailed, innovative, and
sustainable three-year
GIS plan.

an easy-to-use web page along with
any GIS data layers that the City wants
to share. Among the more than 20
web apps recommended were tailored
departmental GIS Viewers for Animal
Control, Business Development, and
Code Enforcement, to name a few.
Several dynamic, location-aware
Dashboards were recommended for
city leaders to visualize Emergency
Operations, Pavement Conditions,
Water Systems, and more. Esri Story
Map opportunities identified include
Homelessness and Affordable Housing,
the World Ag Expo, and a Parks Tour,
which can be used to inform the public
in an intuitive, interactive, map-centric
context. It was further recommended
that the ArcGIS Hub site be broken out
into sub-hubs as well, allowing for each
department, or group of departments,
to have their own ‘Hub’ site while still
being tied to the City’s Hub as a whole.
As a part of Phase II, a detailed Digital
Data Assessment was conducted
examining the completeness, accuracy,
and overall quality of the City’s existing
data layers. The City can use this
information to improve any gaps and
weaknesses found in the existing
GIS data. A Return-on-Investment
(ROI) analysis was also performed
to communicate the value of GIS to
the leadership and constituency.
This analysis showed how completing
the recommendations in the plan
could improve efficiency, increase
productivity, save time, and
save money.
Phase III delivered a clear and
concise multi-year action plan for
implementing an optimum GIS
solution. This step-by-step plan
included detailed tasks with cost
estimates to dramatically improve the
City’s success in the implementation of
geospatial technology.
For the City of Tulare, GTG
recommended a phased approach
of implementation, with each year
building on the foundation toward full
ownership of GIS operations:
• Year 1: Adoption and Data
Creation Phase
• Year 2: Deployment and
Implementation Phase
• Year 3: Full Enterprise GIS
Implementation Phase
Following this GIS Strategic Master
Plan will allow the City’s GIS team to
effectively manage GIS as an asset and
build a true enterprise system within
three years.
Results
The information laid out in this GIS
Strategic Master Plan details how
the City of Tulare, CA can take steps
toward building a foundation to
expand its Geographic Information
Systems to improve City operations.
GIS can improve departmental
efficiency by providing custom web
applications for use by staff at all
levels. These applications allow for
direct interaction with departmental
data that analyze GIS data in
innovative and intuitive ways. They
provide dashboards that monitor
the status of City functions and
engage the public through interactive
websites and informative Story Maps.
Furthermore, with the integration
of GIS with existing software and
datasets, departments can improve
processes that are already in place
without moving to a completely new
system. When the City adheres to the
proposed recommendations set forth
in this plan, follows best business
practices, and ensures the transfer of
GIS knowledge, it will set itself up for
a successful Geographic Information
System for many years to come.
