  1. DEARBORN COUNTY GIS The Stone Soup Approach: Using Multiple Resources to Start County GIS Indiana GIS Conference Margaret Minzner Dearborn County GIS March 8, 2006

  2. Dearborn County Geographic Information System (GIS) • GIS Coordinator now on staff • Data Layers Currently in Place: • Parcels-scanned • Land Use-scanned • Zoning Classification • Address Points • Roadway Centerlines and Pavement Width • Guardrail and Signage locations • Bridge Inventory (and small structures) • Sewer Infrastructure • Traffic Counts • Crash Reports • Proposed Road Projects • Historical Structures Survey • Coming Soon: • Orthophotography • Contours

  3. Dearborn CountyGIS History • Early GIS History • It was believed that GIS was too expensive • Paid for creation of layers from other projects • Address point file come from Tax Assessment • Centerlines came from Road Inventory • Enough of a start to merit a GIS Position

  4. Dearborn CountyGIS 2005 Layers Parcel layer • Parcel layer was created from the scanned plat maps • MPO used those maps to create Parcel layer with ArcScan • Still scrubbing data and hammering out protocol for updating and maintenance of layer • OK for planning purposes

  5. Dearborn CountyGIS 2005 • GIS 2005 • GIS position started in January 2005 • Received ESRI IAAO Assessors Grant for additional • software and training • Received PSAP Recovery for address point file • GIS integrated into 911

  6. Dearborn CountyGIS Strategy • Finding data: Become a super sleuth • Look for existing data from federal and state gov’t • that may be useful (Indiana GIS Atlas, etc.) • Look for data that may exist from neighbors • and local entities • Many different CAD drawings exist-seek them out • Get good at geocoding, georeferencing, etc.

  7. Dearborn CountyGIS Action • GIS In Action: Making what you do have count • Make pretty maps • Make them quickly • Help out with additional help whenever possible (try not to be too smug)

  8. Dearborn CountyGIS Uses • GIS In Action: Making what you do have count • With limited sources I have still been able to provide assistance for many projects…. • Land Use Maps • Economic Development Maps • Collaborative Approach to Sanitary Sewer Design

  9. Dearborn CountyGIS Uses • Future Land Use • GIS used in planning process for focus groups and summarize findings

  10. Dearborn CountyGIS Uses • Economic Development Maps: • Maps have been integral economic development planning

  11. Dearborn CountyGIS Uses • Sanitary Sewer Design • Imported CAD files • Visual need for collaborative approach

  12. Dearborn CountyGIS 2005 Coordination • GIS Assessment • Using previous GIS Community Assessment • Analyzed Existing GIS • Revised Feasibility Study • Developed Future Plan

  13. Dearborn CountyGIS 2005 Coordination • Integration with other Departments • Conducted Technology Seminar: • GIS Defined • County GIS Status • Direction wanted for future • Shop Visits Departments • Task Force monthly meetings • Training individual and group training (Ivy Tech ArcExplorer Training)

  14. Dearborn CountyGIS Development Contours • Buy-in is happening • County is piggybacking off Orthophotography Project • County approved funding for acquiring contours • This project is in progress

  15. Dearborn CountyGIS Development Contours • Buy-in is happening • County is supporting cooperation inter-departmentally • County is beginning to see the value of GIS and looking into options for IMS, permitting process improvement, and making GIS own department

  16. GIS Next Steps • Future Layers • Complete Parcel Database • Contour Layer • Update existing Layers • Process for maintaining data

  17. GIS Next Steps • Future GIS Plans • Continued training • New Server with Remote access • Continued GIS Task Force • Increase GIS users in departments • Collaborate with other local government

  18. GIS Services • Dearborn Count has been able to piece together GIS using available resources • State Orthophotography Project • ESRI IAAO Grant • PSAP recovery • Tax assessment • Road Inventory • OKI (MPO) • In house work • Ivy Tech • Using available resources has fostered additional interest and commitment without threatening price tags.
