^ Riverside will summarize the results of the user needs assessment in a memorandum and will <br />review the results with CWCB before proceeding to the data inventory task. <br />Riverside intends to begin work on this task immediately following the project kickoff meeting <br />as follows: <br />Riverside will begin assembling a list of topics and questions to guide the interviews. <br />Riverside will submit this to CWCB for review and input. Riverside anticipates having <br />different questions for CWCB staff and external stakeholders. The questions for external <br />stakeholders will be more focused to manage expectations about the Flood DSS. <br />CWCB will identify flood section personnel for the interviews. Riverside will conduct these <br />interviews before interviewing external stakeholders. <br />Related points of discussion: <br />^ CWCB is interested in high priority flood alerts and warnings, as well as radar precipitation, <br />from the NOAA data systems. This topic will be pursued during the user needs assessment. <br />^ CWCB employees identified as potential candidates for the user needs assessment include <br />Tom Browning, Chris Sturm, Kevin Houck, Joe Busto, Thuy Patton, and Cristina Martinez. <br />^ External stakeholders identified as potential candidates for the user needs assessment include <br />Doug Bausch (FEMA Region 8, HAZUS contact), Urban Drainage and Flood Control <br />District, and Dave Gochis (NCAR). <br />^ The Drought and Flood Task Forces use the SNODAS maps. <br />^ Additional topics for the user needs assessment include security/public access, a review of <br />the prototype data inventory, expectations, quantitative success measures, and critical <br />infrastructure -buildings, fire and police stations, etc. <br />Potential Issues <br />^ Integrating all user input despite conflicting priorities and perspectives <br />^ Scheduling user interviews during the summer when many people take vacation <br />Task 3 -Evaluate Alternative Technologies <br />• DNR IT staff representatives were not present and Carolyn indicated that in general they <br />have limited ability to support GIS applications. DNR IT will likely not have strong <br />opinions on the solution and will rely on CWCB to maintain it. <br />• It was understood that ArcGIS Server is the likely recommendation for the server <br />solution, based on work to date, current DNR capabilities, and future direction. Follow- <br />up with Carolyn indicated that the ArcGIS Server license from the USGS grant is Version <br />9.3 Advanced Enterprise. Version 9.3.1 is desirable but Carolyn is unsure whether that <br />will be available. <br />• As anticipated, there is general concern that the technologies be maintainable and <br />understandable by staff, if necessary with ESRI training (Riverside needs to provide <br />direction). <br />• The point was made that all browser solutions involve JavaScript libraries and custom <br />development. Most web applications use JavaScript. Riverside evaluated various <br />technologies for the prototype and confirmed that basic Flood DSS web application <br />
