  Public Works and other departments have an interest in having access to a layer with city properties shown. This layer already exists but engineering needs to verify it includes all city-owned properties. We would also be interested in hearing what fields other staff would be interested in including. Our thoughts so far are address, links to deed/docs/plats, department responsible for maintenance?, date property was acquired, primary purpose or function.

  Who collects/maintains this information: engineering? could be others

  Who has access: all city staff
