The following is the Summary from the document. In June, the Secretary of Administration created two committees. A Geographic Information System (GIS) Oversight Committee developed a comprehansive strategy for GIS implementation and directed initial efforts at establishing pilot projects. A GIS Working Committee also was established to give technical assistance to the Oversight Committee. Each committee consisted of members of state government, regional planners, local officials, and representatives of private industry. The members of the two committees are listed in Appendix A. The Oversight Committee held 10 meetings. Many long hours of discussion, education, and hard work have gone into their efforts. In August, the Oversight Committee decided to follow a two track approach to developing a GIS. Because of the complexity and cost of the system, the committee felt that a long range planning study was needed. But because many GIS users were impatiently awaiting service, the committee felt that some pilot projects also would generate information useful in establishing the shape of the GIS. The planning study proceeded with the help of a consultant. In September 1988, PlanGraphic, Inc. and the Cavendish Partership were selected from five finalists to help develop the strategy. The consultant prepared three reports to help the develop this strategy. These reports are entitled: • Phase I: State of Vermont GIS Needs Determination • Phase II: State of Vermont Conceptual System Design • Providing Access to the Vermont Geographic Information System, Legal Framework, Funcitonal Access, and Cost-Price Model for Sale of Products and Service The following sections summarize the key components of Vermont's GIS strategy. |
