MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION #00091 May 4, 2000
BY: FINANCE COMMITTEE, SUE ANN DOUGLAS, CHAIRPERSON
IN RE: INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY DEPARTMENT - CENTRALIZED PURCHASING CONTRACTS
- GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEMS (GIS) SUPPORT OF LOCAL GOVERNMENTAL UNITS
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS Oakland County presently provides Geographic Information
Systems (GIS) support to its 61 Cities, Villages and Townships (roughly two-
thirds of which are using the GIS data/systems) through a single individual
in the Digital Information Service Center of the Department of Information
Technology, and
WHEREAS this support takes the form of technical support and training
to facilitate the integration of GIS into the daily functions of CVTs,
including:
• Computer aided dispatch,
• Crime analysis and related strategic planning - police officer
deployment,
• Economic / community development / planning,
• Assessments,
• Environmental matters - tracking septics, wells, illicit
connections, sewers, water mains, and other utility related
matters. (Much of the need for the environmental data is
being imposed on the CVTs through the federal government's
regulations for clean water.); and
WHEREAS the ultimate success of multiple users of GIS is dependent upon
consistent application of standards by the CVTs for the various functions
performed; and
WHEREAS the County is in a unique position to provide an incentive to
the CVTs to encourage the use of data and application standards development
to help ensure that whatever is created at the local level can be shared
between jurisdictions and regionally summarized uniformly; and
WHEREAS the County, collaborating with representatives of CVTs, has
developed and mailed a request for proposal to secure one or more vendors
with specific GIS experience on behalf of the CVTs, thereby achieving an
economy of scale not otherwise available to individual local units; and
WHEREAS, to provide a further incentive, the County Executive
recommends a nominal level of financial support for CVT data sets and
applications created through the use of approved vendors.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners authorizes an appropriation in the amount of $42,000 to fund a
portion of GIS projects, specifically, 20% of project costs up to $10,000 per
project, initiated by a City, Village or Township in order to encourage
standardization of data sets and application development.
FINANCE COMMITTEE VOTE:
Motion carried unanimously on a roll call vote with Friedman-Appel and

-0-
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that an evaluation report be provided to
the Board of Commissioners prior to requesting any additional funds for
this purpose.

of the foregoing resolution.
