Designating a geospatial information officer.

A Local Law to amend the New York city charter, in relation to designating a geospatial information officer

The proposed legislation would create a Chief Geospatial Information Officer (CGIO) within the Department of Information Technology & Telecommunications (DoITT) and require DOITT to maintain and implement a special data interoperability strategy, including the development and maintenance of a strategic plan for the City’s use of geospatial information systems (GIS). The legislation would also mandate regular meetings of agency GIS managers and other geospatial experts.
