What We Disucssed

Paul and Jeff presented some options for the next enhancements to EAS (see below).

...

Citidex is about to be launched in a much scaled-down version. There is no geocoding of any of the information however, addresses and contact information for many neighborhood associations is in the database including what neighborhoods and supervisor districts associated. We expect MONS to continue to update the info.
If that’s useful to you, we certainly share the data

Action Items

Jeff and Paul will provide Alton with an EAS derived replacement for the Assessor data - by Feb 15?
Jeff and Paul will take this information with them to meetings with other EAS stakeholders - to occur by the end of February.
We all need discuss (and debate) whether a Citydex module belongs in EAS - conclude debate by Feb 8?

Proposed Enhancements

      http://code.google.com/p/eas/issues/detail?id=460

Enhance the address change notification messaging to notify an arbitrary list of clients when changes occur. This would provide subscribers real time updates to their local addressing system. For example, DBI is required to notify the Fire Department when addresses change. This is currently done manually by DBI and would be automated with this enhancement.

Make it easy to discover the block and lot number from the map.

Add aerial imagery to the map.

Auto approve certain types of change requests:  Certain city processes require relatively rapid action (e.g. sewage spill response). The change request process slows things down too much in these cases.  A solution is to automatically approve change requests that meet certain criteria. For example, if a change request is not retiring an address component it would be a good candidate for an auto-approve.

Provide mail-merge functionality. Numerous agencies want to be able to specify a location on the map, and generate USPS mailing lists for residents and/or owners within N feet of the pin or containing parcel.
