  1. Presentation to AUGI Meeting: 1/23/07 really more of a discussion GIS Coops: Inter-governmental and Inter-County Opportunities, Pros and Cons (mostly Pros) Presented by: Mark Toalson GIS Manager CCRPC / CCGISC

  2. GIS Coops: Pros - • Cost Savings • Improved Data Quality • GIS Coops: Cons - • Potential for loss of local control • Potential for efficiency decrease due to added bureaucracy

  3. Winnebago County City of Rockford Rockford Park District Village of Machnesney Park North Park Public Water District Village of Cherry Valley City of Loves Park Rock River Water Reclamation District GIS Co-ops: Examples • Inter-Governmental Agreements (Intra-County) • GIS Consortiums;

  4. GIS Co-ops: Examples • Inter-Governmental Agreements (Intra-County) • GIS Consortiums; • Cost Savings • Improved Data Quality

  5. Champaign County Rantoul Mahomet Urbana Champaign Savoy GIS Co-ops: Examples • Inter-Governmental Agreements (Intra-County) • GIS Consortiums;

  6. GIS Co-ops: Examples • Inter-Governmental Agreements (Intra-County) • GIS Consortiums; Typically established via formal agreement • Stabilize the Joint GIS Venture • Funding formula – critical for long term stability – shared costs benefit all • Establish “rules for engagement” - Governance / Committee structure • Policy – agreement will include policy statements or layout process to create policy

  7. GIS Co-ops: Examples • Inter-Governmental Agreements (Intra-County) • GIS Consortiums • Local Cooperation • Consortium is not a requirement for Inter-governmental cooperation • may be less formal than a consortium – • two or more municipalities or public entities may cooperate towards one or more GIS goals

  8. GIS Co-ops: Examples • Inter-Governmental Agreements (Intra-County) • GIS Consortiums • Local Cooperation • Inter-Agency Intra-governmental co-ops can exist within a single government – sharing resources among agencies

  9. GIS Co-ops: Examples • Inter-Governmental Agreements (Intra-County) • GIS Consortiums • Local Cooperation • Inter-Agency • Combination of the above Intra-governmental co-ops can exist within a single government – sharing resources among agencies All three co-op types can function in a single area simultaneously

  10. GIS Co-ops: Examples • Inter-County; Northeastern Illinois County GIS Cooperative Program

  11. Northeastern Illinois County GIS Cooperative Program

  12. GIS Co-ops: Cost savings • Shared resources – • Hardware: Servers, Servers, more servers • Software: SDE, IMS, ArcInfo, ..... Lizard Tech (Mr SID) $10,000 $7,100 / seat $ / Gb compressed $10,000 Installation fees: $5,000, $4500, etc. • NOW: ArcGIS Server, ArcGIS Image Server New Pricing Structure: $20,000 - $40,000 • Maintenance fees: • SDE • IMS • ArcInfo $3,000 New Maintenance Fees: $ ?! $2,000 CC Annual Maintenance 2007 $27,930.13 $3,000

  13. GIS Co-ops: Cost savings • Shared resources – • People: GIS Manager, DB Administrator, Programmer, Web Developer, Analyst, Technician GIS is becoming entrenched in the modern workplace, GIS Salaries are on the rise People: benefits, overhead Expertise that may be unaffordable for a single entity, can be accessible when costs are shared

  14. GIS Co-ops: Cost savings • Efficiency Gains – • People: sharing experience means less training, decreased learning curve, greater productivity • Elimination of data Redundancy: build once, use often • Standards facilitate data exchange: less time to establish apples to apples • Economic Development – • Rapid access to geo-data is powerful tool: • Power grows with local and regional cooperation: becomes tool for promoting entire regions

  15. GIS Co-ops: Data Improvements Boundary Adjustments Seamless Data Layers Better Base Maps

  16. Thanks for Listening GIS Co-ops: What Can We Do? • Open Invitation: Northeastern Illinois County GIS Cooperative Program • Encourage local GIS Coops within our own communities • Begin discussions of cross boundary and regional cooperation • boundary adjustment • standards • resource sharing • joint projects Who wants to discuss this? mtoalson@ccrpc.org
