August 13, 2025 GIS System Patch

The City of Bloomington will take its GIS system offline on August 13 from 9 PM to midnight to apply a necessary security patch. This maintenance will affect key services, including Civic Access, which allows for the submission of business licenses and permits, and Geohub, which provides online mapping. Users should prepare for the temporary unavailability of these applications. The Information & Technology Services department is responsible for this update, aimed at strengthening the security of city operations. The city emphasizes the importance of maintaining robust cybersecurity measures to protect sensitive data.

The last update to the system was recorded just before this scheduled patch. Such proactive measures are vital for ensuring the reliability of municipal services. Residents are encouraged to stay informed through the city’s official communication channels.
