RAFAEL AUTHORIZING PARTICIPATION IN THE COUNTY-
WIDE MAPPING PROJECT THROUGH THE MARIN STREET
LIGHT ACQUISITION JOINT POWERS AUTHORITY (MSLAJPA)
IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $21,183.
WHEREAS, the local agencies of Marin will benefit from the creation of
an accurate orthographic map of the County which could be used as a basis for a future
geographic information system; and
WHEREAS, a unified, multi jurisdictional approach will result in lower
costs for all participants and a more efficient use of taxpayer and rate payer monies; and
WHEREAS, the Marin Street Light Acquisition Joint Powers Authority
(MSLAJPA) is an established organization which includes the County of Marin and the
eleven Marin Municipalities as members.

Acquisition Joint Powers Authority to contract for the creation of an orthographic
digitized map as generally described in the attachment to this resolution; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that this Council agrees to share in the
cost of said mapping project at a cost not to exceed $21,183 as outlined in the attachment
which is made a part of this Resolution.

MARIN INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY COMMITTEE
DATE: August 23, 1996
TO: City/Town Managers
FROM: Linda Christman, it CY�w t
Marin Information Technology Committee
SUBJECT: Orthographic Mapping & GIS Project
The Marin Information Technology Committee (MITC) is a
subcommittee of the Marin Managers' Association and includes
representatives from the cities, the County, and the Marin Public
Works Association. A primary goal of MITC is to facilitate
collaboration among local governments in order to secure the best
possible communications and information infrastructure for Marin
County. One of the first shared projects the committee has
undertaken is the development of a countywide geographic
information system (GIS). These systems are very desirable
technology for local governments and special districts that perform
capital improvement projects. Unfortunately, they are an expensive
technology. However, if system development costs can be shared,
the cost decreases for all and if the system and information is shared,
the final product becomes an even more valuable tool for
infrastructure management and project design. Information
concerning this technology is attached.
For the past eighteen months, MITC has been meeting with mapping
professionals from Marin's local governments toward the creation of a
countywide Geographic Information System. After consulting with the
mapping professionals, it became clear that any geo-based
information program must begin with a credible base map. The base
map will be an Onboard Digital Orthographic -Topographic map to be
produced by Towill, Inc. This base map with a parcel map layer
rectified to conform to the accurate base map will be the foundation
for a future geographic information system to be shared by all Marin
local governments and special districts.
REQUESTED ACTION:
It is requested that your town/city consider participation in the
collaboration to produce the base map and parcel layer rectification.
The estimated share of these costs is shown on Appendix A. If you
wish to become a partner in this effort with the cities, the county and
special districts of Marin, a resolution (see enclosed) is needed by
October 15th. The resolution authorizes the Street Light Joint Powers
Authority (a countywide JPA) to contract for the creation of the map
and agrees to the cost sharing plan presented in Appendix A. The
worst case cost is used in the resolution, but preliminary responses
indicate that both sanitary districts and MMWD will be participating
which will lower the cost for all. Once all participants in the mapping
project have committed to the project, a final cost estimate will be
provided to each city/town.
The cost for parcel layer rectification (if any) may be funded within the
1997-98 Fiscal Year and will be performed by the County of Marin
Community Development/Mapping Division at an approximate cost of
$1 per parcel. Another agency or contractor may perform the
rectification work as desired by your city/town.

MAPPING PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The project will be accomplished in three stages. The first stage will be the creation of an
accurate orthographic map. The map will be photographed to a map scale of one inch
equals 200 feet for the urban areas of Marin and to a map scale of one inch equals 400 feet
for the undeveloped areas of the County. The map will be created by Towill, Inc. using the
latest technology. The cost of the fly -over will be reduced by more than 50% as local
governments share the cost. The count will be "flown" in February, 1997 which is optimal
timing for accurate photographs. The digitized orthographic map for the entire county
should be received by each participant in June, 1997.
The rectification of the county's assessors parcel map to the new base map will be the
second stage of the project. The rectification costs are estimated at $1 per parcel if
performed by the County of Marin Community Development Department/Mapping
Division. No rectification costs are estimated for the City of Novato or the City of San
Rafael because they have already performed much of the rectification work. It is estimated
that a rectified parcel map layer will be completed within 180 days or at the end of
September 1997.
The last stage of the project will be the creation of a GIS organization (using a joint powers
authority framework) which will guide the further development of the geo-based
information system and will include representatives from each agency which chooses to
participate and who has been a partner in the creation of the base map.
