DigiTally

The City of Tallahassee presents "DigiTally" , the City of Tallahassee's non-emergency customer gateway to a host of City services. With customer service in mind, this app was created so residents could easily report issues such as graffiti, broken street lights and pot holes just to name a few. Issues can be reported by simply submitting a Citizen Work Request that is sent directly to City staff for resolution. Submitting a Citizen Work Request can be done via this app and also online at www.talgov.com.

In this session we will show how GIS is an integral part of DigiTally and how it is used to enhance services to City of Tallahassee citizens. GIS is embedded in both the user APP itself and extended applications and functionality specifically developed by the City of Tallahassee utilizing JavaScript, jQuery Mobile, Dojo and HTML.

Be it a road project or commission meeting, the City strives to keep citizens informed and involved. Other exciting features built into this this app include direct connections to information about popular City services. DigiTally provides easy access to check your yard waste pick-up day, find a park, view the photo gallery of adoptable pets, stay up-to-date on City news and events, pay your utility bill and more. You can even share why you love Tallahassee with a comment or even better, a photograph!

Pulling Back the Veil: Using Filtered Lidar Point Cloud Data to Reveal Features in the Landscape

DEMs produced from high-fidelity Lidar surveys show very detailed views of the ground surface, features that are often not visible to the un-aided eye. This presentation takes a look at different geomorphic features, anthropomorphic features, and some downright crazy looking surface features visible in Lidar data right here in your own backyard. Audience members will be encouraged to weigh in with their own guesses.
