Abstract
 A Self-Funding Option for Municipal GIS Track: State and Local Government Author(s): Brett Horr Do the words "budget crunch" mean anything to you? In many cases, an initial investment is made to implement GIS but not enough funding is provided to adequately sustain the system and expand it over time. This presentation will outline a unique way to fund the maintenance and growth of a municipal GIS environment without affecting the tax rate. It will highlight how York, Maine, self-funds its GIS through fees tied to building permits. Using the strategies discussed, municipalities can more effectively fund the maintenance, update, and growth of their systems.
