It provides technical support to citizens, developers, builders, other city departments and consulting engineers and surveyors.

The Geographic Information System (GISS) database is developed and maintained by Engineering Department staff. The department also maintains and updates the record maps for all city utilities, rights of way, easements, land division plots and city base maps.
