City of Tukwila <br />Allan Ekberg, Mayor <br />INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM <br />TO: Finance & Safety Committee <br />FROM: Joseph Todd (TIS) <br />BY: Tami Eberle -Harris, Roman Linsao <br />CC: Mayor Ekberg <br />DATE: November 14, 2017 <br />SUBJECT: ESRI Enterprise License Agreement (ELA) for GIS <br />ISSUE <br />GIS is no longer a sidelined toolset. It is becoming a central, integral part of our key business <br />processes. <br />BACKGROUND <br />The City of Tukwila currently has ArcGIS for Server and several stand-alone licenses for ESRI <br />GIS. This proposal details the advantages of upgrading to an ESRI Enterprise License (ELA) for <br />the City of Tukwila. <br />DISCUSSION <br />2017 has been a year of growth for GIS at the City of Tukwila. The GIS Coordinator was re- <br />assigned to the TIS department in order to fulfill enterprise level GIS capabilities and expand the <br />GIS Program. During 2016 and 2017, a centralized GIS warehouse was built, incorporating <br />layers and data utilized by multiple departments. With the assistance of King County and DCD, <br />the Tukwila iMap application was implemented, and is used for a myriad of business use cases, <br />which include but are not limited to creating `Self -Service' address lists, Land Development <br />inquiries, and fulfilling citizen inquiries and reports. Additional layers are being added to the <br />Tukwila iMap on an ongoing basis, exploration has begun on utilizing the Collector app to collect <br />GIS data in the field, and a contract was recently initiated to bring Lucity Asset management <br />onboard, which will also be integrated with our GIS data warehouse. <br />Many benefits would be gained by procuring the ELA. The named user licenses for ArcGIS <br />online and portal would increase, providing more opportunities for staff and citizens to utilize <br />GIS capabilities. The ArcGIS Online credits available to Tukwila would increase as well, which is <br />key to aligning Tukwila's GIS to our Cloud First strategies. Analytic tools such as Insights for <br />ArcGIS would be available for data analysis, ultimately improving GIS access, and enhancing <br />GIS capabilities for front line employees allowing for improved quality services for the citizens of <br />Tukwila. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT <br />Multiple Departments in the city currently share the cost of GIS maintenance and licensing. <br />The total ongoing maintenance cost for current licensing is $11,800. This gives the City access <br />to limited licensing for ArcGIS Online, ArcGIS for Server, Desktop software, and several <br />extensions, utilized in applications or by users in departments of DCD, Fire, Police, PW, and <br />TIS. <br />117 <br />
