t <br /> 10 <br /> D. GIS Photography <br /> New aerial photography will be acquired to update the ten-year-old computer photographic <br /> information currently in the GIS database. This project will take advantage of a coordinated project <br /> effort with the Town of Chapel Hill and will avoid an additional full year delay in the acquisition of <br /> new photography. <br /> The updated photography can be used to enhance the parcel map update process, for citizen requests <br /> for maps and applications in user departments. <br /> S. Provide citizens and the County Commissioners with access to information and services <br /> through the county's computer and communications system. That access should be provided <br /> wherever practical through the Internet, using the World Wide Web as a common interface, with <br /> appropriate restrictions for confidentiality. <br /> A file server will be acquired to be used as an internal server for Intranet applications, and also for <br /> linking to the county web site for use as an Internet server. Documents, forms and other shared <br /> information will be available through a browser interface from the information sharing server. For <br /> Internet use, this server will provide commissioner and citizen access support through the county <br /> web site on the state computer system. For example, data files of interest to citizens can be made <br /> available on the information sharing server for download through Internet access. <br /> 6. To assist the county in the tasks described above, an ongoing Citizens Advisory Council should <br /> be established. It will help identify and order technology-related tasks, advise on performing <br /> those tasks using county personnel or through outside contracts, and review the resulting <br /> recommendations and implementation plans. It will also help keep the county's on going <br /> development efforts focused on long-term strategic objectives. Thus, it will serve as a sounding <br /> board for the county's senior technical staff, as a technical resource, and as an advisory group to <br /> the County Commissioners. <br /> IS staff will provide necessary coordination and support to the Citizens Advisory Council <br />
