ADDRESSING MANAGEMENT & QUALITY CONTROL
Track: State and Local Government
Authors: Leslie Edwards

The City of Huntington Beach GIS department began a comprehensive process six years ago to create a citywide standardized address database. This process included comparing data for street names and addresses of all internal and external address street name data, preparing council resolutions to change street names and addresses that didn't conform to the citywide standard, and working with outside agencies so that all address data internally and externally was identical. This paper will detail the process of creating a standardized address database and the practices needed to maintain the quality of that data for all divisions of local government and outside agencies.
