Building a Spatially Referenced Asset Management System for Municipalities
Track: State and Local Government
Author(s): Eric Smith

Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 34 establishes financial reporting standards for state and local governments, including states, cities, towns, villages, and special-purpose governments such as school districts and public utilities. Governments should report all capital assets, including infrastructure assets, in the government-wide statement of net assets and generally should report depreciation expense in the statement of activities. Space Imaging is working with Marion County, FL to collect this asset data for incorporation into an integrated, spatially referenced Asset Management System. This solution utilizes image-based feature extraction to build the required asset databases and supplements this information with ground verification. The data can be viewed, edited or modified on the web using ArcIMS or on the desktop using ArcGIS and ArcView.
