Attendees
Paul and Jeff met with Brian Smith, Alton Chin and Mike Wynne.
What We Disucssed
Paul and Jeff presented some options for the next enhancements to EAS (see below).
City Planning expressed interest in the mail-merge functionality, and would be willing to work collaboratively with Paul to develop the functionality. There are 2 types of mail notifications activties. One is done in house at Planning, happens about once a month, and requires about 30 miniutes of developer/analyst time (about $50/hour). The other is outsourced to the Radius company. Radius charges land developers $195 per job, uses data from the city itself, and the results are usually satisfactory but sometimes are quite poor and require a redo. Brian would like to bring this work in house noting that it is a revenue stream and we could improve data quality with this process.
Alton was interested in a replacement for the Assessor addresses that currently bring over and run through transformations. Jeff said he would work with Alton to provide that replacement for him based on the EAS data.
The enhancements we are considering:Brian mentioned the Citydex application (like Rolodex) and wanted to know if it makes sense add a module to EAS that does what Citydex is supposed to do (todo: get links to docs or reqs). He also mentioned that some other folks at DT had been working on it with Daniel Homsey.
Action Items
Jeff and Paul will provide Alton with an EAS derived replacement for the Assessor data.
Jeff and Paul will take this information with them to meetings with other EAS stakeholders - to occur by the end of February.
