Description
This is a continuing initiative with the goal of providing Geographic Information System (GIS), aerial photo
interpretation and photogrammetric mapping services to support Governing and Basin Board activities. GIS support
includes the input, management, analysis and distribution of spatial data, the design and implementation of databases,
software training and map production. Aerial photo interpretation includes land use and cover mapping in support of
land acquisition, Surface Water Improvement and Management (SWIM), engineering, planning and environmental
studies. Photogrammetric support includes the mapping of topographic information, collection of aerial photographs
and satellite imagery and the production of digital orthophotographs. This program also supports the distribution of
data to the public and routine maintenance activities. The annual budget includes administrative costs for salaries,
travel, training, plotting and photographic supplies, maps and other data purchases, etc.
Benefits
Mapping and GIS has been a continuing activity since 1987 and is required to support the District's GIS, digital
orthophoto, aerial mapping and other data collection, maintenance and management activities. The District's GIS
database is an integral component of planning, engineering, regulatory, and land acquisition and management
activities. In a rapidly growing area such as the District, continued maintenance and expansion is needed for the GIS
database to meet new demands and is required to protect the historical investment in the system. The data are
currently accessed by over 450 District staff using the ArcGIS software, and serves as the foundation for the Water
Management and Land Resources Information Systems. Additionally, the data collected by the Mapping and GIS
Section are viewable and downloadable from the District's Internet web site.
Costs
In addition to plotting/printing supplies, office supplies and travel/training the FY2010 funding include: Adminstrative
Assistant Contractor ($30,633 - Governing Board), GIS Programming Contractor ($220,000 - Governing Board),
Parcel Updates $48,000 - Governing Board). Funds for the GIS Programming Contractor are transferred to the
Information Resources Department at the beginning of the fiscal year.
