Presentations
Ray Montgomery – Sandy City
Ray showed his custom application that uses GIS, SQL server tables, and drones to show cemetery records. Each grave plot has a history attached to it showing ownership, sales, available, and occupied graves.
Greg Bunce – AGRC
Greg introduced the latest State Geographic Information Database (SGID). SGID is a one-stop shop for finding Utah datasets and it was recently redesigned to make the user experience a better one. HERE is more information about SGID and some of the new features.
Andrea Befus – Utah County
Andrea showed her work on election dashboards using Survey123 and QuickCapture. Using these various ESRI tools will help to show the election results quicker and simpler on election day.
The next meeting will be April 2020 at Wasatch Front Regional Council, more info coming soon.
