This project has been led by city Utilities Superintendent Paul Harris and his team in the Utilities Division.
The new Cartegraph asset management system allows the city to electronically track service orders, usage of equipment and supplies, task duration, project costs, and other helpful information that enhances efficiency and record keeping.
Public Works and Utilities staff can easily add data on an electronic tablet while in the field completing tasks as data is automatically uploaded to the new system.
The asset management software is also integrated into Lakeport’s geographic information system, or GIS, which was established more than 20 years ago and continues to be an important part of the city’s operations.
Many of the recent upgrades to the asset management and GIS programs were completed by Connie Warthen, a 2020 UCLA graduate (BA, geography; GIS minor) who joined Lakeport Public Works in 2021 after a successful year-long participation in the CivicSpark Fellowship program.
The Lakeport Public Works Department is excited about this new project and looks forward to using new technologies to reach the goal of providing superior service to city of Lakeport customers and community stakeholders.
