As we discussed, <br />there are a number of parcels missing in the City of Elk River's base map that need to be <br />assembled per the County's standards prior to utilization of the base map for GIS purposes. <br />Brian Fisher has indicated to us that the number of parcels that are left to be mapped is <br />approximately 3,300 or, 50 percent of the City. <br /> <br />During our discussion we explored options for completion of the City's base map. The City, <br />of course, is interested in completing this project as soon as possible, as we have invested <br />several thousand dollars in equipment and programs in anticipation of implementing our <br />local GIS system. It is our understanding that completion of the base map is not scheduled <br />until 2002, time and staff permitting. During our discussions, Terry Maurer and I indicated <br />that the City would be willing to proceed with the work needed in cooperation with the <br />County to ensure quality control. However, this is not an expense that the City can afford to <br />do on its own, based on Terry's estimate of $50,000- $60,000 to map the remaining parcels. <br />We inquired as to the possibility of the County reimbursing the City for a portion of the <br />work remaining on the base map. We understand that 2001 monies are encumbered for <br />other projects, but perhaps an opportunky for reimbursement could be identified as part of <br />the 2002 budgeting process. You agreed to approach the County Board regarding this <br />possibility. <br /> <br /> Have you had an opportunity to speak to the County Board regarding our proposal? If so, <br /> please let us know at your earliest convenience the outcome of your discussions.
