1 Regional GIS Presentation for Small and Large Jurisdictions Michelle E. Fults GIS Manager January 8, 2009 Presentation Contributions from Juston Manville Henrico County Kevin Nelson Hanover County Mark Bittner Crater PDC Robert Crum - RRPDC Other Contributors Qiana Foote Goochland County Nancy Parker Chesterfield County Steve Waldron City of Richmond John Bragg Charles City County Matt Forbes New Kent County Jason Overstreet Powhatan County

2 Introductions GIS Managers /Coordinators /Coordinators Group Outside Groups (ESRI, VGIN, Crater) RRPDC GIS Manager

3 ArcIMS Data Coordinate System Line ArcSDE Point ArcMap Metadata Georeferencing Projection Query Attribute ArcExplorer ArcGIS Enterprise GIS 101 Geographic Information System, or GIS, is an organized collection of computer hardware, software, geographic data, and personnel designed to efficiently capture, store, update, manipulate, analyze, and display all forms of geographically referenced information. Or, in simple terms: A computer system capable of holding and using data describing places on the earth's surface.

4 Five Components of a GIS System People Data Methods Hardware Software

5 Simply Put GIS IS! Data layers + Information tables = Structures Land Use Utilities Roads Parcels Geology Attribute Information Attribute Information Attribute Information Attribute Information Attribute Information Attribute Information Real World

6 Coordination and Collaboration Quarterly GIS Users workshops Increased from ½ day to full-day workshops Increased attendance from 35 to over 100 over 4 years Held at Henrico Training Facility (no cost) Monthly managers /coordinators /coordinators meetings Information Sharing Discuss software and hardware issues Networking

7 Training Authorized Environmental Systems Research Institute ( ESRI) instructor Since October trained approximately 100 students, 77% within the region

9 Offering additional classes such as: Tips and Tricks Map Making/Layout GeoCoding Editing Advanced Features Future Training Looking into a regional consolidation of training efforts between VCU, Henrico and the PDC

10 Local Technical Assistance Grants 2008 received 2 Wireless E911 Regional Grants (each $300,000) GIS Location Based Site Address Collection & Database Development Powhatan Co. /Cumberland Co. /Buckingham Co. Address verification at border of the counties Charles City Co./New Kent Co. Parcel Update 2009 (pending) Charles City County ($100,000) New CAD and GIS mapping software in Dispatch Center

11 Planning Projects Regional Projects Technical Assistance Projects

12 Impervious Surface Phase I Used GIS to analyze changes in the building patterns from 1994 to 2002

13 Rural Long Range Transportation Study Used GIS to analyze the transportation system in the rural localities

14 Ettrick Housing Study for Chesterfield Used GIS to analyze neighborhood conditions in a section of Chesterfield near Virginia State University

15 Green Infrastructure in coordination with CPDC Used GIS to identify and analyze various environmental features based on ecological cores. This is a crossjurisdictional project with Crater Planning District Commission.

16 Used GIS to analyze zoning and land use policies

17 What the GIS Coordinators Want Continued in-house training and workshops Continued work with localities on Regional Projects Projects (Census data, transportation, watershed boundary delineation, etc) Continued coordination of common operating picture Planned monthly meetings Data standards (field names) Coordinate cross-jurisdictional data delivery Gather authoritative data sources Develop regional data aggregation, storing, and dissemination Grant writing and discovery/identification Technical Assistance

18 DEMO New and Existing Technology Video Clip Thanks to the Juston Manville from Henrico County for creating the movie

19 Things to think about What need does GIS fill? Who are the potential users? How will GIS technology be integrated with existing department/business infrastructure? How can GIS assist policy makers? What business processes can be improved or automated? Will GIS make or save money and time? What is the return on investment (ROI)?

20 Opportunities Develop GIS Regional Strategic Plan Training Continue Regional Coordination Future ideas (3-D D projects, Fly-thru) Risk Analysis

21 Opportunities Develop Common Operating Picture Planned monthly meetings Data standards (field names) Coordinate cross-jurisdictional data Gather authoritative data sources Develop regional data aggregation, storing, and dissemination Grant writing and discovery/identification Technical Assistance Employ existing and new technology Spatial Business Intelligence (SBI) Cloud Computing
