CONTRA COSTA COUN'T'Y
GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEM
FEASIBILITY STUDY
Contra Costa County is now in the process of evaluating the
development of an automated geographic information system (GIS)
to provide capabilities for automated mapping and geographic
analysis. As envisioned, this system will augment existing land
records and computer graphics systems to serve many agencies.
The geographic information system will be designed to support such
applications as property mapping and management, land use and
environmental planning, transportation, engineering drafting and
design, emergency response functions, and other geographically
related operations.
The County has retained the services of P1anGraphics, Inc. , a
consulting firm specializing in geographic information system
design, to evaluate needs and assist in developing specifications.
Your organization could realize significant benefits from the use of
such a system, and we would like to invite your participation in
this study. As an organization providing vital services to residents
in the County; the geographic 'information system could help to
more effectively fulfill your needs for maps and geographic data.
We ask for your participation in a Technology Seminar to be held
on Monday, March 23. The Technology Seminar will be held from
8:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. at the County Administration Building, 651
Pine St. , Martinez - Room 107. Its purpose. is to acquaint project
participants with terms and concepts in automated mapping and
geographic information system technology. The first hour of this
Workshop will be a summary appropriate for management and staff.
The remainder of the Seminar will treat topics in more detail and
is more appropriate for mid-level managers and staff directly
involved in the compilation, maintenance, and routine use of maps
and geographic data.
Enclosed is a meeting agenda.
If you have any questions, please call Bob Nash or Wick Smith at
372-2386 or 372-2387.
