DOIT (Karen Anselmo) requested volume estimates from the program on 10/3 for the # of lots and # of lessees that were added the last year or two.
Awaiting a response.

Demo provided by Karen Anselmo 10/2/24 to Marine Shellfish staff who responded positively. They were provided access to pre-production and training material. Follow-up with CGI is pending.

Better data from the program is still of interest to understand the transaction rate more accurately than the estimate of 1-10 new per month. An actual average month over the last year or several years, with any trends will make workload to new data entry clearer.

Demo being scheduled for program. Inquiry underway with CGI for their availability among existing demands.

meeting today, issues were around the amount of work and possible loss of utility (more steps, clicks, etc.) in the NJEMS interface necessary for new lessees and leases that will be manually entered after an initial data conversion of exiting 2,285 lots and 322 lessees. It is estimated this may be 1-10 new records a month. They would need to move to entry in NJEMS as opposed to the GIS interface used currently. That interface can pass updates to existing records via GIS, but cannot handle creation of new NJEMS records for new leases and lessees.

Michele Zola will schedule a meeting to walk through the process to see the true impacts for Jeff Normant and his team. There is currently no real alternative to this pathway as the existing process that uses GIS also requires manual updates to the old Access back-end. This can produce needed documents and data but is not shared nor tied into enterprise billing.
