Improvement Package Summary
1 of 2
This improvement package provides for the purchase of Accela's Citizen Access and Civic Platform
including Land Management (Permits), Geographic Information System ESRI, and Mobile. The system
is GIS -based. The Land Management module helps track and manage the City's land use and
community development activities including permits; building safety; inspections, investigations, plan
reviews; zoning; project plans; code enforcement; and more. It allows staff to have access to input data,
verify activities, check permit status, and obtain complete parcel information instantly, speeding up the
process of getting from application to occupancy while reducing errors and redundancy with a single,
centralized database. Licensing & Case Management is a web -based solution that automates and fully
integrates with the City's processes associated with licensing, registration, inspection, and
enforcement. This includes processing licensing, permits, and more, from application through
inspection and within any investigatory or enforcement actions. Citizen Access is a customizable Web -
based application that integrates with Accela Automation to provide citizens with online access to
government services and information. Mobile Office is a mobile application that works in conjunction
with Accela Automation and Accela GIS to extend processing capabilities to the field for assigned jobs
such as inspections or work orders and the related application information. This software will meet the
City Council Goals and Priorities Environmental/Ecological Integrity; Social Cultural Vibrancy;
-164-
Partnering; Improved Connectivity; High Performance Organization. This request would maximize the
use of workflows for improved "Inter" and "Intra" departmental communication, improve citizen
engagement and communication around properties, permits, licenses and inspections and create a
central "non -silo" data source.
