Discussion Points:
- Statewide parcels
- Development standards for counties just starting out. There are existing standards
- Some counties do charge to cover printing and other duplication costs. Having an automatic distribution tool would save time and money.
- Several counties are wondering how to charge
- Many counties already have parcels that they paid for, what about counties that haven’t developed parcels, who pays for that
- It was mentioned that there was a lawsuit in which a California county, forcing that county to provide parcels for only the cost of duplication. More information can be found at http://www.gpsworld.com/gis/news/santa-clara-county-releases-its-geodata-after-losing-lawsuit-8917
- It may be a good idea to discuss parcels at a future ND Assessors meeting; the next ones are in February and in August.
- A question was raised if there is interest in statewide LiDAR
- Some datasets are a problem along the border, e.g., between ND and MN. This issue may be at least partially addressed depending on which website is used to download the data from, e.g., USGS
- NAIP 2009 format:
- The MrSID data will be 3-band for now
- GeoTiffs will be 4-band
