In concert with the IT Department, the GIS Department has coordinated the continued scanning of all paper documents from the Building, Health, Conservation and Town Clerk. This year we added the capability for the public to access certain Town Clerk documents such as meeting minutes. The scanning process continues to be refined to allow for a quicker, more efficient method to capture information. We hope to see this capability expanded to additional departments in the near future. David DelVecchio,Bruce Stello,and Leo DaSilva have continued to be great assets to the GIS ____ Coordinator in maintaining a robust network without which the GIS Department would not be able to function. We continue to build on this solid foundation and endeavor to expand the utility by enhancing current capabilities and developing new ones. 108
