ORANGE COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT Meeting Date: June 22, 1998 Action Agenda Item No. g_ SUBJECT: Interlocal Agreement with Town of Chapel Hill -Fair Share Costs of GIS Products & Services DEPARTMENT: Land Records PUBLIC HEARING: (Y/N) Na~-~' BUDGET AMENDMENT: (Y/N) 1Ya, ATTACHMENT(S): Proposed Interlocal Agreement INFORMATION CONTACT: Roscoe Reeve, ext 2501 TELEPHONE NUMBERS: Hillsborough 732-8181 Chapel Hill 968-4501 Durham 688-7331 Mebane 227-2031 PURPOSE: To approve aninter-local agreement between Orange County and the Town of Chapel Hill for the mutual purchase of GIS products from the County's vendor, Atlantic Technologies. BACKGROUND: On January 20, 1998 the Board of Commissioners approved an agreement with Atlantic Technologies to purchase digital data products to enhance the development of GIS in the County by obtaining new orthophotos, topography, and planimetrics. This agreement covers a multi-phase, multi-year project, and involved the participation of the County's municipalities, OWASA, and the University in selecting the vendor and in designating the standards and features of the data to be purchased. The agreement with Atlantic allowed the Town of Chapel Hill to purchase GIS products produced by the vendor from the County. The attached interlocal agreement between the County and the Town sets policy on how data may be obtained when (1) the County has purchased a GIS digital data product that the Town wants, or when (2) the Town has purchased a GIS digital data product that the County wants. A fair-share basis to this agreement recognizes that the Town and County would have had different standards and interest in features had they sought a contract with the vendor on their own and therefore the joint or separate purchase of these products from each other should reflect those differences. In general, the Town desires, in its jurisdiction for its purposes (engineering, site design, development review), much larger scale mapping and more geographic features captured than the County would need for its purposes (tax appraisal, emergency services) in that area. The Town has already paid a share of the first two phases of the project (aerial photography, ground control) that were approved by the Board on January 20, 1998. RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board approve the inter-local agreement with the Town of Chapel Hill, subject to final review by the County Attorney, and authorize the Chair to sign.
