<p>Great idea Erin - the ai space has changed in the last couple years, so having that kind of new info on a MoM call would be great! </p>

<div class="v1elementToProof" style="font-family: Aptos, Aptos_EmbeddedFont, Aptos_MSFontService, Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: #000000;">Independence had placer for a year a couple years ago. It's useful for a lot of things, but you really have to know what you want to do with it to make the cost worthwhile. Also, the numbers never match up with on the ground data so you have to think of it in terms of trends, generalities, and percent changes as opposed to "513 people came to this store last week." Our attorney also had a lot of issues with their contract terms. On the positive side, we also used it for things like land use planning, understanding traffic patterns, and park usage. </div>

<div style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">
<p>Wondering if any of your organizations are using placer.ai or other such geo-fencing applications for data gathering? And if so, I'd like to reach out and find out more. We are thinking of it here, but as a tiny town it seems a heavy lift.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
