[Massplanners] Following Up on Conditions of Approval

[Ian Cooke]

Hi Paul,

We did a survey of the software landscape with MAPC a few years ago looking
for a system like what you describe that could track ongoing stormwater
infrastructure maintenance requirements. Specifically wanted the permittees
to be able to create user accounts and create standardized stormwater
maintenance plans that could then be approved and locked by the town staff.
Then after permitting we wanted permittees to be able to log in and submit
their maintenance reports, and have an easy interface for the town staff to
remind permittees about missing or inadequate reports. We also wanted this
system to be relatively cheap, and easy for the towns to implement.

We frankly didn't find much at that time, and went on to outline the
technical requirements of what our ideal system might have with the idea
that we might eventually hire someone to build and maintain it with MAPC
likely serving as the host. We never actually moved forward with building
it though we still think about it from time to time.

We would be very interested in hearing about it if anyone knows about an
existing product like the one you describe. Also if no such thing exists,
we would love to know if there are towns anywhere in the state that would
be interested in having such a system (which might push us to try to put it
together with MAPC).

Thanks!
