is responsible for database

management and enhancement

for both the Central Arizona-

and the updates of all respective

metadata. To increase efficiency

of data collection for the Energize

Phoenix project Jeff

recommended surveyors use the

GIS-PRO application on an iPad.

During data collection Jeff

extracted data on a weekly basis.

CSV files extracted from the iPad

were joined to the original

shapefiles as updates using

ModelBuilder.
