Community Development Director Ternet proposed reducing the planned GIS allocation and reallocating the work to existing staff, saying the Assistant City Planner could complete GIS tasks if the position were eliminated. "He reduced the GIS part of the budget from $25k to $5k for a $20k savings," the minutes state.
Ternet also reported strong building-permit activity and forecast $350,000–$400,000 in permit revenue for FY21. The proposed $20,000 reduction in GIS spending was presented as a trade-off to help balance departmental budgets while maintaining permitting capacity.
