Paul and Jeff met with Brian Smith, Alton Chin and Mike Wynne.

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

City Planning expressed interest in the mail-merge functionality, and would be willing to work collaboratively with Paul to develop the functionality.

Alton was interested in a replacement for the Assessor addresses that currently bring over and run through transformations.  Jeff said he would work with Alton to provide that replacement for him based on the EAS data.

The enhancements we are considering:

      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.

      http://code.google.com/p/eas/issues/detail?id=168

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.

      http://code.google.com/p/eas/issues/detail?id=226

Provide address lineage and display of retired addresses. This is something that is of keen interest to Building inspection. It is also one of the more complicated enhancements.
