draft 12/9/97 North Metro I-35W Corridor Coalition 1997- 1999 Work Plan ikograp hic Information Systems (GIS) • Development of Data Base - (January 1997- March, 1998) The development of an accurate and compatible data base is of utmost importance to the successful implementation of a shared GIS system. To that end, Phase I - Part 1 of this task will be the incorporation of data which is currently available (i.e., parcels, road names, zoning, existing land use and other assessor and tax attributes) from the two participating counties (Anoka and Ramsey). • Development of Building Data Base and Commercial/Industrial Inventory (January 1998 - December 1998) Phase I -Part 2 would focus on the linking of appropriate County assessor core building data and associated addresses, including multi-tenants to building footprints. The resulting data base would be related back to the underlying parcel data base and assist in the development of not only an inventory of current commercial/industrial activity, but also in the future development capacity of sites throughout the corridor. This data base will also be linked to the OCR data base. This proceas may also be used to determine residential developable sites. • Integration of Miscellaneous Data - (September, 1997-July, 1998) Phase I - Part 2 will include the incorporation of data from miscellaneous sources. The data to be incorporated in this task may include: hydrography, (including wetlands delineation),road edges, • digital aerial photographs and topography. • Data Base Maintenance/Enhancement/Coordination (January 1998 - Ongoing) Much of the GIS data to be used by the Coalition is dynamic in nature and requires constant updating. In addition, these data sets originate from a variety of organizations. Careful and logical management of data is essential for data to be accurate and up to date. A full-time coordinator/manager is required to work with member cities and outside agencies in this task and all other work program issues. • Joint Usage of Equipment(July 1997-December 1999) The desire by the member cities to collaboratively work on GIS presents opportunities for joint usage of expensive hardware. The cities will develop an agreement which specifies what hardware will be shared by whom and under what circumstances (i.e., time and money). • • Development of Electronic Data Linkages Between Cities - (June-December, 1997) . The "knitting"of electronic data between the cities will provide the opportunity for any Coalition member to "look outside of the box". These opportunities will lead to the ability to jointly market the cities for economic development and redevelopment purposes. This can be realized by establishing high-speed data transmission connections between member cities using existing infrastructure where possible. • U:11-35 W\CD-COMM\WORKPLAM97W RKPLN.DCC 1
