Abstract
Are County GIS Basemaps Public Record?
Track: Surveying
Author(s): Bruce Joffe
Over the last few years the scope of California's Public Records Act has been analyzed by the courts to determine if Santa Clara County's GIS parcel basemap is subject to public record distribution requirements (no more than direct duplication cost).
The California Superior Court said it was. The County appealed. Now the California Appeals Court has decided. Hear what the implications are for counties in California and throughout the country; learn about the Homeland Security issues.
