Update

Boundaries, Cadastral and PLSS Workgroup

Boundaries, Cadastral and PLSS Workgroup (1)Tie Card Project

3 original county participants. We will be publishing links for 8 new counties, and 17 other counties are interested in participating in the Tie Card Project.

The 11 participating counties are:

• Original Pilot Counties:

Newton, Bartholomew, and Jennings

• New Counties*: “Almost Done” are Hancock,

Marion, Wayne, and Hamilton.

“In Process” are Adams, Marshall, Dearborn, and Delaware.

• *Hyperlinks to existing County tie cards are being used!

Boundaries, Cadastral and PLSS Workgroup

(2) New GIS County Boundary Polygon Layer for the IndianaMap

IGS will revise the IGS County Boundary Polygon Layer to include the Court ordered, geodetically described, boundary between Indiana and Kentucky (Indiana’s southern boundary).

In the future the county GIS boundary polygon file will be re-generated when the new county line layer (below) is updated.

New GIS County Boundary Point and Line Layers for IndianaMap

Lorraine Wright is using the Legal descriptions of the Counties to identify the Corners and lines that make up the County Boundary. Plan to develop an ongoing county boundary point/line Maintenance and Stewardship program.

Boundaries, Cadastral and PLSS Workgroup

(3) Government Land Office (GLO) Original Indiana Surveying Notes and Plats will be linked to the IGS Township/Range layer.

• GLO National Archives

• GLO State Archives

• GLO County Archives

GLO Plats & Notes

• File are jpg scanned at 600 DPI for clarity and converted to TWP .pdf books.

• Use the IGS Township layer to hyperlink to each Twp. book (US, St., Co.)

• est. 5 to 8 plats maps per township book + notes

IGIC/ISPLS Geodetic Control Workgroup

IGIC/ISPLS Geodetic Control Workgroup

Indiana Height Modernization

• A formal plan for Indiana was completed and submitted to NGS, but no agency funding available.

More Ideas to ponder

Amending IC 4-23-7.3 Sec.19Indiana GIS Mapping Standards (GIS LAW)

Where Are We???• Our Legislative Committee still has a long way to go on planning and

preparing this DRAFT legislation language

• No plans for this legislative session!

• The IGIC Board has not formally endorsed this plan.

• Hope to get feedback at upcoming IACT and AIC conferences.

• Hope to have DRAFT Version 7 by late 2010 to present to IGIC Board.

• If approved, will implement our "Talking to our local elected officials" program.

• Hope to identify potential House and Senate sponsors/champions for proposed legislation.

• We would like to be in the position to have some form of Bill ready for introduction by this time next year (2011)!

IGIC Legislative CommitteePotential Fiscal Impact

* What Does GIS Cost Us? We are working on estimates for… - Cost for Statewide Framework data layer development and maintenance. - Cost of Local Government GIS data development and ongoing maintenance. - Cost to maintain the IndianaMap and IGIC.

* What we may collect? Figures in green and yellow below are for illustration purposes only!

How this IGIC initiative supports AIC’s 2010 Legislative Platform:

County Finances:

…give counties increased flexibility in the ability to generate funds and to use those funds with limited state oversight….

State Accountability for Collection, Accounting and Distribution of Funds:

…We strongly urge accuracy and accountability by all state agencies….

Coordination and Review of Local Budgets:

---County councils are elected to serve the entire county and are qualified to make decisions in the best interests of county residents….

Assessment Administration and Standards:

…Since county assessors assumed the township workload, additional funding should be allocated to the county as needed….

Clean Water Act “NPDES” Phase II:

…The Clean Water Act. Phase II is an EPA mandated statewide storm water quality drainage program…. Phase II is an unfunded mandate for counties…. The AIC supports and will be searching for some form of state funding assistance that directly offsets the financial burden shouldered solely by counties…..
