Report of the GIS Administrator To the Honorable Board of Selectmen and Citizens of the Town of Mashpee I>: As always I'd like to recognize the dedicated staff employed throughout the Town of Mashpee who continue to be receptive and energetic about learning and using new technologies. This has been a year of learning and integration of the Town's Geographic Information System. We have significantly more data than a year ago, most of which has been organized across appropriate servers. Our goal of centralizing data has been accomplished and will allow for organized growth of this increasingly mission critical technology. In addition to the data, maintenance contracts, licensing and versioning are all standardized. As such, more time is available for project work through departmental integration and training. Bruce Stello and David DelVecchio, as always, have been incredibly supportive in helping with GIS initiatives as they arise. It's been a year since joining the IT Team and the skill and energy of the IT staff continues to motivate me to continue building the best GIS possible for the residents of Mashpee. Thanks, David and Bruce, for another successful year!
