PARCEL IDENTIFICATION COMMITTEE (PIC)

• Goal 1: Inventory existing Arizona GIS Parcel data bases. – Evaluate/Determine what metadata exists for each GIS parcel data set.

– Create new metadata where none exists.

– Update as existing data are revised, updated, or added.

• Goal 2: Survey Control for Parcels and Governmental Units– Inventory local survey control databases

– Publish available data on the AZ GeoServer

– Review applicable policy and statute

– recommend changes in policy and statute to obtain coordinates for

survey data

PARCEL IDENTIFICATION COMMITTEE (PIC)

• Goal 3: Inventory of PLSS Corners used to reference parcel data.– Evaluate/Determine what metadata exists for each section corner.

– Create new metadata where none exists.

• Goal 4: Review existing Parcel Standards and identify a State Parcel Standard and establish a minimal set of parcel attributes to allow the sharing of parcel data between counties and the State.

• Goal 5: Create and publish a set of policy guidelines concerning the appropriate (and inappropriate) uses of GIS parcel resources based on known metadata characteristics.

Objectives: Develop a strategy (or strategies) for the maintenance of a public domain State-level orthoimage base.

Explore alternatives for the efficient dissemination of this data.

Ortho-Imagery Committee


Assumptions: That a statewide orthoimage base has value

That we need to explore a variety of paths for maintaining it

Issues: Size impacts maintenance and dissemination strategies

Data access policy impacts any maintenance plan.


Actions: Minimum content specification?

Develop a data maintenance proposal.

Explore technologies that will assist with data dissemination.

Write a draft report, with recommendations.

Sporadically engage data users in a review and discussion

AGICTransportation Committee

Goals and Objectives

Committee Goal

Assist ADOT in coordinating the creation and maintenance of a statewide transportation GIS database with addressed centerlines

Short- term Objectives

o complete the I-Team process for the Transportation Layer

o research successful transportation GIS projects in other states, paying particular attention to:o alternatives for adding the address component

(ranges) to the existing ADOT transportation coverage

o methods for integrating existing local road data, as created/maintained by local governments, into the statewide transportation data layer

Long- term Objectives

o Conduct a pilot project implementing research methods. Pilot area will be limited to a sub-region of the State (i.e. county, MPO)

o (assuming the pilot project is successful) Assist ADOT in updating the statewide transportation layer with addressed, local roads

Mission StatementMission StatementThe mission of AGIC is to coordinate the

development and management of geographic information in

Arizona. AGIC promotes the use of GIS and related

technologies to address problems, develop plans, and manage

the natural, economic and infrastructure resources of the state.

AGIC VisionAGIC VisionThe vision of AGIC is to facilitate the provision of credible, timely and accurate geographic information for widespread

use by decision-makers and the citizens of Arizona.

BackgroundBackground

The Arizona Geographic Information Council (AGIC) was established by Executive Order 89-24 as Arizona's primary forum and oversight group for geographic information and

related technology issues. In its efforts to optimize the State's investment in geographic data and technology, AGIC

identifies standards, facilitates coordination efforts, and provides

guidance for GIS development and implementation strategies. AGIC facilitates the acquisition, exchange and management of geographic information and technology for the State of Arizona. This benefits both state agencies and

the Arizona GIS community at large by encouraging cooperation and building partnerships.

AGIC meets on a regular basis and conducts an Annual GIS Conference to address and coordinate statewide geographic

information and technology issues, requirements and solutions.

OverviewOverview

AGIC has identified three broad goals relevant to accomplishing its mission. These goals serve as a focus for AGIC Committees which seek to promote the use of GIS statewide.

The three goals are:• Data Standardization and Sharing• Data Development• Education and Outreach

Objectives and associated actions that will further these goals are detailed below.

Data Standardization and SharingData Standardization and Sharing

Legal / Administrative

Technology
