Abstract
Parcel Basemap Geodata: Resolving the Public Records Controversy—Panel Discussion Track: Cadastral and Land Records Author(s): Bruce Joffe The CFAC lawsuit against Santa Clara County, in wake of the California Attorney General's opinion that the distribution of public-agency parcel data falls under the purview of the California Public Records Act, suggests that public officials responsible for parcel mapping may want to revise their current distribution policy. This session reviews the legal, political, and economic issues (public access vs. the cost of data maintenance), and it offers five strategies toward resolution that may be acceptable to many points of view. Constructive discussion among session attendees is expected. Bruce Joffe GIS Consultants 1212 Broadway, Ste 610 Oakland , CA 94612 US Phone: 510-238-9771 E-mail: GIS.Consultants@joffes.com |
