Another one is the number of data layers currently available; we now have 300 or so.” (One “data layer” is a blank county map upon which all the instances of a single item occur; e.g., fire hydrants, 36-inch storm water drains, or county- owned facilities.) Continuing, she said, “The transition from a curi- osity, an unknown, to an integral part of planning and day-to-day operations has been very satisfy- ing. Above all is the process of as- sembling the staff. We are five cartographers and three systems ana- lysts, plus me, for a total of nine employees. Everyone is great to be around, both as a professional and as a person.” A number of existing GIS databases are non-public, that is, only for internal use by county staff. Fletcher supports access to as much of her bureau’s work products as possible, but recognizes that decisions on public availabil- ity rest with the office collecting the information. This question was posed: Cost and every other restriction re- moved, what single thing would you ask for to improve your op- eration? Fletcher’s response was: “One full-time staff programmer so we could process requests more quickly.” Fletcher retires on Oct. 18. She believes Arlington’s GIS program is one of the strongest in the region and worth every penny of its $900,000 annual appropriation. With respect to a successor, Fletcher is confident that the person selected will continue to improve and to expand the scope of services. She also hopes the new chief will enjoy both the work and the co-workers as much as she has. “Flourishing After 55”
