ITEMS FIRST. 12.4 A WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A PRESENTATION ON SAN PATRICIA COUNTY GIS OVERVIEW WITH BLUE RASTER AND COLIN AND COLTON AND NATE FROM OUR EMERGENCY OPERATIONS CENTER. SO Y'ALL ARE UP. NATE, YOU'RE UP DIFFERENT. DIFFERENT, DIFFERENT. NATE. DIFFERENT. NATE. YEAH, THIS IS NATE LICKTEIG FROM BLUE. OKAY. IT'LL BE, IT'S, IT'S MORE OF A PROGRESS REPORT ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE GIS PROGRAM HERE AT SAN PATRICIO COUNTY OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS.

HE'S GOING TO TALK BRIEFLY ABOUT SOME OF THE SYSTEMS THAT USED TO BE IN PLACE THAT HAVE BEEN UPGRADED, AND KIND OF SOME OF THE IMPROVEMENTS. HE'S GOING TO TALK ABOUT SOME OF THE CROSS DEPARTMENT WORK THAT WE ARE DOING NOW, AND ALSO PROBABLY GOING TO BREAK INTO A COUPLE OF THE PUBLIC FACING TOOLS, AS WELL AS THE TOOLS THAT ARE AVAILABLE FOR COUNTY EMPLOYEES.

SO THANKS. GOOD MORNING, JUDGE COMMISSIONERS. MY NAME IS NATE LICKTEIG. I'M AN ASSOCIATE PROJECT MANAGER AT BLUE RASTER. I'VE BEEN WORKING WITH BLUE RASTER FOR ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF SINCE MY INCEPTION. I'VE BEEN WORKING WITH SAN FRANCISCO COUNTY. I BEFORE BLUE RASTER, I WORKED AT KENDALL COUNTY UP IN THE HILL COUNTRY AS THE GIS ADMINISTRATOR. SO PRETTY FAMILIAR WITH LOCAL TEXAS GOVERNMENT. SO FOR AN EXECUTIVE SUMMARY, WE STARTED THIS PROJECT THROUGH SOME GRANT FUNDING IN FEBRUARY OF 2024. WE'VE BEEN PROVIDING GIS SUPPORT ACROSS ARCGIS ONLINE, ARCGIS ENTERPRISE, DOING SOME GIS ANALYSIS, APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT AND DESIGN, AND SOME OTHER TASKS FOR THE COUNTY. SO TO START BUILDING A GIS PROGRAM, WE WANTED TO SET THE FOUNDATION. SO AT. AT THE TIME BEFORE RASTER STARTED, THE COUNTY HAD ARCGIS ONLINE, WHICH IS A CLOUD SOFTWARE AS A SERVICE PLATFORM WHERE YOU CAN HOST YOUR DATA. WE RECOMMENDED ADDING ARCGIS ENTERPRISE, WHICH IS AN ENTERPRISE SOFTWARE. SO WE WORKED WITH THE IT DEPARTMENT TO PROCURE HARDWARE. AND THEN OUR TEAM DEPLOYED MULTI MACHINE BASED DEPLOYMENT OF ARCGIS ENTERPRISE SUPPORTED WITH MICROSOFT SQL SERVER IN THE BACKGROUND. I KNOW THERE'S PROBABLY A LOT, BUT FROM THERE WE STARTED GOING INTO NEEDS ASSESSMENTS. WE MET WITH SEVERAL COUNTY DEPARTMENTS THROUGHOUT THE TWO YEARS. SOME OF THESE DEPARTMENTS ARE LISTED BELOW. WE WORKED WITH 911 ADDRESSING THE ANIMAL CONTROL ELECTIONS, EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT, FLOODPLAIN DEVELOPMENT PERMITS, GRANTS. AND WE JUST RECENTLY

[00:15:04]

STARTED WITH THE NEW PARKS DEPARTMENT. SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WE'VE SUPPORTED IS THE PUBLIC DATA VIEWER. THIS IS JUST A GENERAL VIEWER THAT WE BUILT FOR THE COUNTY. THIS WILL HAVE VERY BASIC LAYERS VOTING PRECINCTS, COMMISSIONER PRECINCTS. COUNTY BOUNDARIES.

ROAD CENTERLINES ADDRESS POINTS. YOU KNOW, GENERAL COUNTY DATA. THAT'S IMPORTANT FOR THE PUBLIC TO TO SEE TO HELP VERY TRANSPARENT DATA, EASILY ACCESSIBLE. ALL THESE APPLICATIONS ARE ADA COMPLIANT WITH THE NEW RULING THAT'S COMING OUT. I GUESS IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE LAST OR APRIL OF THIS YEAR. IT'S NOW PUSHED TO APRIL OF NEXT YEAR. BUT THESE WILL ALL BE COMPLIANT THE NEXT THE NEXT APPLICATION WE'LL TALK ABOUT IS WE DID SOME INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL WORK WITH THE ELECTIONS OFFICE. WE WORKED WITH THEM TO BUILD A INTERNAL TOOL TO COLLECT VOTER TURNOUT, VOTER WAIT TIME, AND VOTER SATISFACTION. A PORTION OF THAT IS PUBLIC. SO YOU CAN SEE SOME OF THE INFORMATION ABOUT VOTER, THE ELECTIONS OFFICE. THIS WAS DURING THE 2024 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION, AND THE ELECTIONS OFFICE SAID IT WAS A PRETTY BIG HIT, AND WE WILL BE ROLLING IT OUT AGAIN FOR THE 2026 MIDTERMS AS WELL. AND THEN THE LAST ONE, THIS IS PROBABLY ONE OF THE COOLEST APPLICATIONS I'VE HELPED BUILD IS THE HURRICANE PREPAREDNESS VIEWER. THERE'S A LOT OF REAL TIME DATA FOR THIS, THIS APPLICATION. SO WE'RE USING DATA FROM NOAA, THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE, TETUM, AND OTHER AGENCIES FROM THE STATE AND FEDERAL SIDE TEXDOT AS WELL. THE COOL PART ABOUT THIS APPLICATION IS, IS THAT IT IS IN ENGLISH AND IN SPANISH. THERE'S PREPAREDNESS GUIDES, THERE'S EVACUATION ZONES. SO AT THE EMERGENCY OPERATIONS CENTER, THEY CAN USE WHAT'S CALLED SURVEY ONE, TWO, THREE TO GO AHEAD AND ACTIVATE EVACUATION ZONES TO LET THE CITIZENS KNOW, HEY, IT'S TIME TO TIME TO GET OUT OF HERE. AND THERE'S EVACUATION ROUTES FROM TEXDOT. IT SHOWS LIVE WEATHER UPDATES, AND THERE'S A STORM SURGE VIEWER AS WELL THAT'S CONNECTED TO THE NOAA WEBSITE SO THAT YOU CAN SEE WHEN THE STORM SURGES ARE STARTING TO RISE AND IT'S TIME TO GET GOING. AND THAT IS OUR PRESENTATION FOR TODAY. THERE'S A QUICK ONE, BUT JUST WANT TO GIVE YOU GUYS A QUICK UPDATE. DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR ME? WAS IT STILL BEING HOSTED IN THE CLOUD OR IS IT NOW HOSTED IN OUR OWN SERVERS? SO YOU GUYS ARE USING IT'S IT'S KIND OF A HYBRID APPROACH. YOU HAVE THE CLOUD VERSION AND YOU HAVE ENTERPRISE AND WE HAVE A COLLABORATION, A CONNECTION BETWEEN THE TWO. SO DATA CAN BE SHARED ACROSS TO BOTH. SO MY QUESTION WAS IF THE INTERNET GOES DOWN FOR SOME REASON, DO WE STILL HAVE ACCESS TO THAT DATA. YES. OF THE INTERNET GOES DOWN. YEAH. IT'S HAPPENED HERE BEFORE, NOT NOT THAT LONG AGO. OKAY. IT CAN BE.

WE WOULD HAVE TO DO SOME, SOME TWEAKING OF THE THE APPLICATIONS AND MAKE THEM VISIBLE FROM OFFLINE. BUT DID YOU GET ANOTHER HARVEY. YOU CAN YOU. IT'S DEFINITELY A HELP, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU HAVE OTHER INDUSTRIES COMING IN TO CLEAN UP OUR ROADS AND ALSO TO THE FACT OF GETTING AROUND AND BEING ABLE TO INFORM THE PUBLIC AREAS THAT CANNOT GO INTO AND SO FORTH, AND NOT HAVING INTERNET SOMETIMES, YOU KNOW, IT'S SPOTTY AT BEST, SOMETIMES IN AREAS OF THE COUNTY. WE ALSO DO HAVE. SO YES, EVERYTHING IS STORED THROUGH THE ENTERPRISE SERVER AND SOME OF IT IS STORED ONLINE. RIGHT. BUT I DO HAVE BACKUPS ON OFFLINE DEVICES SO THAT EVEN IF WE DID NOT HAVE INTERNET AND, YOU KNOW, EVERYTHING THAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG WENT WRONG. THAT'S WHAT I WANT TO HEAR. WE WOULD STILL HAVE OUR DATA JUST, JUST YEAH, JUST, JUST A QUESTION BECAUSE IT WILL HAPPEN. SO ALL THE PUBLIC FACING PORTALS YOU'RE SHOWING THERE, ARE THEY ACTIVE NOW? YES. THERE'S ALSO A FEW OTHERS THAT ARE INTERNAL, LIKE THE GRANTS DEPARTMENT'S INTERNAL. WE'RE WORKING WITH ANIMAL CONTROL TO START COLLECTING DATA TO SEE WHERE ANIMALS ARE. THERE'S HOTSPOTS OF LIKE, YOU KNOW, ANIMALS THAT ARE THAT ARE ON THE LOOSE AND STUFF LIKE THAT. BUT THERE ARE DEFINITELY INTERNAL TOOLS THAT WE'RE BUILDING AS WELL FOR HELPING SPECIFIC DEPARTMENTS. SO THE ONES THAT ARE PUBLIC FACING, WE NEED TO MAKE THEM EASILY ATTAINABLE ON OUR COUNTY WEBSITE. SO, RIGHT. SO THE, THE PUBLIC VIEWER, IF YOU GO TO 911 ADDRESSING THERE'S AT THE BOTTOM, IT SAYS LINKS AND YOU CAN ACCESS THE PUBLIC VIEWER FROM THERE. THE HURRICANE VIEWER WAS POSTED AT THE BEGINNING OF HURRICANE SEASON LAST YEAR. I DON'T BELIEVE IT'S ON THE BANNER RIGHT NOW, BUT I AM GOING TO TALK WITH IT AT SOME POINT. WE'RE GOING TO GET IT PUT BACK UP THERE, PROBABLY AROUND THE JUNE TIME OR SOMETIME THIS MONTH. AND THEN THERE IS ALSO THE FLOOD PLAINS

[00:20:01]

VIEWER, WHICH IS AVAILABLE THROUGH THE FLOOD PLAINS PERMITTING OFFICE. ALL OF THOSE PAGES HAVE ACCESS POINTS FOR THESE PUBLIC FACING TOOLS. I MEAN, WE'RE GOING TO SPEND ALL THE MONEY TO INVEST AND CREATE THESE THINGS. WE NEED TO MAKE THEM EASILY IDENTIFIABLE AND ACCESSIBLE. SO IF I GO ON THE COUNTY WEB PAGE, IT SHOULD BE VERY OBVIOUS. IF I'M LOOKING FOR A CERTAIN MAP, HOW I FIND THAT ON THERE. OKAY. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? WELL, THANK YOU FOR COMING IN AND GIVING US THAT UPDATE. VERY, VERY INFORMATIVE. THANK YOU. OKAY, MOVING ON TO

[b. Presentation on HUD Section 3 for the TXCDBG San Patricio County Contract CFC24-0101 Saint Paul Water Tower.]
