Inter-County Opportunities, Pros and Cons (mostly Pros)

Presentation to AUGI Meeting: 1/23/07

Presented by: Mark ToalsonGIS Manager CCRPC / CCGISC


CCRPC


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


CCRPC


GIS Co-ops: Examples Inter-Governmental Agreements (Intra-County)

•GIS Consortiums;Winnebago County

Rockford Park District

CCRPC



•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


CCRPC



•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


CCRPC



•GIS Consortiums•Local Cooperation•Inter-Agency

Intra-governmental co-ops can exist within a single government – sharing resources among agencies


CCRPC



•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


CCRPC


GIS Co-ops: Examples Inter-County;

GIS Co-ops: Cost savingsShared 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


CCRPC


GIS Co-ops: Cost savingsEfficiency Gains –

People: sharing experience means less training, decreased learning curve, greater productivity

Elimination of data Redundancy: build once, use oftenStandards 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


CCRPC


GIS Co-ops: Data Improvements

Boundary Adjustments

SeamlessData Layers

Better Base Maps


CCRPC


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
