The first phase will provide the capability of County <br />to complete its re- mapping project, in which the software and hardware <br />will run the-digital data delivered by the mapping vendor, L. Robert <br />Kimball & Associates. It will also initiate GIS in several <br />participating jurisdictions in Chapel Hill Township. ESRI is the <br />leading vendor for GIS in the world, and have proposed an advanced <br />workstation environment for the Orange system. The initial phases of <br />GIS will develop applications for Land Records, Assessment, Planning, <br />and E911. Later phases will include almost all of the County offices <br />that deal with geographic information, as a part of the County's CIP. <br />Funding for the first installment of GIS hardware and software will be <br />accomplished by means of the transfers between projects reflected in <br />the attached capital project ordinance amendments. These changes were <br />included in the 1990 -95 CIP adopted by the Board in February, 1990. <br />RECOMMENDATION(S): That the Commissioners approve the Agreement between <br />County and ESRI, authorize the Chair to sign the Agreement, and approve <br />the -- osed capital project ordinance amendments. <br />P P <br />
