Information Technology & GIS

The staff of the Information Technology Division provides a variety of technical services to all City departments including mainframes & servers, PC support for users, system design, system configuration, technology purchases, training, phones, website administration, email administration, and Internet administration.  This support enables city departments to better serve the citizens of Moline.  The table below shows the growth of technology in the City since 1998.

The City of Moline is continuing to make progress in implementing its goal of an enterprise GIS.  In the coming year, the City will work to obtain an accurate parcels layer and begin mapping the utilities infrastructure.  It is the goal to reflect not only surface features on the GIS, but also sub-surface utilities.  The Water Department has led the way, migrating their system to the GIS.  Once complete, they will be able to provide quick response to shut downs, access records in the field, and streamline routine maintenance. Similar efforts are being planned for the sanitary and storm sewer utilities.
