  1. 2008 Michigan County GIS Survey Results

  2. The 2008 County GIS Survey • Thanks to all that participated: • To the Staff at CGI making all the calls when CGI was Still CGI (NOW CSS) • To the Allegan County GIS Staff for assisting • with assembling and fine-tuning the survey • The folks at MSU’s Remote Sensing & GIS Research and Outreach Services for data compilation. • To all of you who took the time to complete this “monster”!

  3. The 2008 County GIS Survey • The resulting Excel spread sheet was 643 columns • by 83 rows filling over 50,000 data cells. • It contains a wealth of information about existing • GIS capacities, abilities, needs, strengths, and weaknesses • It will drive the strategic investments and efforts to make • county and state GIS better, more efficient and better • integrated. • The raw data and this “interpretation or analysis” will be • made available to you via the MiCAMP website and other • venues. • This presentation is focusing on highlights and trends.

  12. The Evolution County GIS in Michigan • The Mean (average) Age of County GIS in Michigan Is 10 Years! 108 GIS FTE’s are currently employed serving 60 Counties.

  13. From 0 to 60 in 20 years!

  14. Where is GIS “housed” ?

  15. The Michigan Public GIS Background 60 counties have or are involved in Cadastral (parcel) mapping =91.7% of the population =92% of all existing parcels =66% of Michigan’s geography

  16. The Counties and County GIS in 2001 and 2008 • Between 2001 and 2008 Michigan County Budgets increased by About ? • 58 Percent • Between 2001 and 2008 Michigan County GIS Budgets in creased by About? • 51 Percent • Mean 2001 County GIS Budget as Percent of General Fund • 0.59 Percent • Mean 2008 County GIS Budget as Percent of General Fund • 0.38 Percent

  17. Rural GIS on a per Capita • Bases is More Expensive • Than in Non-Rural Areas • Rural GIS on a per Capita • Parcel Bases is Less • Expensive than in • Non-Rural Areas

  18. Few County Functions Cost Less and Contribute More

  19. Geography does not matter as much as Population

  20. Ideally over time these numbers will climb!

  21. Should include both tangible and intangible cost and Benefits Should be integrated with operational aspects of all other county departments Should include impact on local units of Government Twp’s, cities and villages

  22. Has Implications for Revenue Stream beyond GIS

  23. Direct revenues never pay for entire GIS operations

  24. Cost/Benefit analysis will reveal that many counties have Grossly under estimated the value of information that they on average have generated over the last ten years

  25. Archiving data about GIS data.

  26. ?

  27. GIS Titles in County Government • GIS Director (5) • GIS Coordinator (17) • GIS Analyst (8) • GIS Specialist (6) • GIS Technician (19) • Others: Cartographer. GIS Developer, Mapper, Property Analyst, Mapping Coordinator

  28. GIS Titles in County Government • GIS Coordinator (17) GIS Technician (19) • Typically housed in Equalization, Information Technology. • Future GIS Skill Set and Position Title. • The GIS Analyst ( getting information out, “mining” data sets)

  29. Computer Operating System

  30. Primary GIS Software

  31. The Open Geospatial Consortium, Inc.® (OGC) is a non-profit, international, voluntary consensus standards organization that is leading the development of standards for geo-spatial and location based services.

  32. I think we have surplus Sub-Meter GPS capacity Borrow a unit from your neighbor!

  33. No regional self-sufficiency

  34. Often a cost effective GIS capacity generator

  35. Programmers are expensive if you can not keep them busy all the time

  36. t

  37. This will Change Drastically In the Future. I Think

  38. Standalone Installs / Seats Internet Mapping In Counties with A Population Below 20,000
