New Town, New Data, and the GIS Solution
Track: State and Local Government
Author(s): Erin Mutch

The Mountain House Community has been described by the Associated Press as the "First New Town of the New Millennium". Many innovative measures were taken to ensure successful project execution, including the development of a GIS. The demands for useful information from the GIS have grown with the immediate need for accurate asset inventory and GASB 34 reporting. Paper topics will include moving GIS services "in-house", inter-agency coordination, GASB 34 requirements and design of community-wide GIS. The challenges of CAD to GIS integration will also be discussed in addition to the update of data standards for submission of improvements to accommodate data conversion into the GIS. Mobile GIS data collection techniques will be utilized and our goal is to create an enterprise Server GIS which will support our departments and ultimately the community residents. The Mountain House departments includes including community development, public works, accounting, and operations & maintenance.
