MEMO October 1, 2001 To: County Commissioners From: Brian Bensen Re: Parcel Mapping Dave Schwarting, Jolm Oliver, Amy Thompson and I met with Elk River City staff last week to discuss their desire to speed-up completion of parcel mapping in the City. Attending for the City was Pat Klaers, .Steve Roll, Michelle McPherson, and Terry Mauer of HR Green. Back~round The County started parcel mapping in the City of Elk River approximately 1990, the first efforts toward parcel mapping in the County. 42 of the 48 sections in the City were completed over the next few years. The remaining six were not completed due to various reasons. In subsequent years the County moved out from Elk River north along Hwy169 and west along Hwy 10 with parcel mapping projects. Haven Township, adjacent to the City of St. Cloud, was also completed. Currently the County is working on mapping the City of Big Lake, Orrock, Blue Hill and the final two sections in Baldwin Township. Remaining to be completed are the six sections in Elk River as well as Clear Lake, Palmer and Santiago Townships. Our schedule calls for completion of the remaining work by the end of 2002, including the City of Elk River. Current Situation The City staff expressed their desire to have parcel mapping in the City completed this year. The growth in Elk River, utility projects and inventory for the new GASB accounting standards are all reasons for completing the work. The City is working with HR Green to complete the parcel mapping before the end of the year. The work already completed by the County over the years has been supplied to HR Green in support of the City's efforts. The City is asking that the County share a portion of the cost of mapping by committing funds budgeted in 2002. With this commitment of fttnds the City will have HR Green proceed now with the work. The County would reimburse the City in 2002, after work is completed to County specifications (the same standards as the other parcel mapping).
