Legislative Priority: Continued Support for Statewide Mapping Initiatives Background Thanks to the Wisconsin Land Information Program (WLIP), along with additional investments at the local level, Wisconsin counties have a history of producing high-quality, timely, and accurate Geographic Information System (GIS) data for their respective jurisdictions. These GIS datasets are primarily designed to support a range of county operations such as law enforcement, health and human services, and land conservation. The Problem The WLIP has historically focused on supporting GIS data development at the county level, but not on integrating these GIS datasets across county boundaries. Prior to the Wisconsin Legislature adopting Act 20, which established the statewide parcel map project, a business or other organization needing land ownership information was faced with the non-trivial task of assembling GIS data from up to 72 different county sources. The statewide parcel map is currently the only WLIP-funded statewide GIS dataset available in Wisconsin. WLIA wants the State of Wisconsin to build upon the success of the statewide parcel map, and extend the lessons learned on that project to other GIS datasets. We believe the status quo has a detrimental effect upon important statewide issues, such as the upcoming implementation of Next Generation 911. NG911 relies on statewide GIS datasets that simply do not exist at this time. GIS data produced by Wisconsin counties must be leveraged to support emerging programs like NG911. Case Study: The Public Land Survey System Like much of the United States, Wisconsin was originally surveyed by the U.S. General Land Office in the mid-19th century. These surveys, which established the Public Land Survey System (PLSS) of land division, are still used extensively today for land transactions. Many of the PLSS markers placed in the ground 150 years ago are now long gone. While much work remains, counties across the state are working to re-build the PLSS infrastructure in Wisconsin, and then more accurately map land holdings throughout our state. Unfortunately, state and federal agencies working in Wisconsin typically use their own sources of PLSS information because the data produced by local governments are not available to them due to a variety of technical, political, and institutional barriers. The situation graphically illustrated above for a random location in Washington County is not an extreme, but typical for most locations in the state where counties have improved their PLSS infrastructure. The PLSS is an example of a GIS dataset that needs to be integrated across county boundaries. WLIA’s request WLIA asks legislators to: 1) Support funding for new and emerging statewide GIS projects that build upon the success of the statewide parcel mapping project; 2) Authorize the Department of Administration to spend existing WLIP funds on statewide GIS data development activities. The purpose of the Wisconsin Land Information Association is to foster the understanding, development, operation and maintenance of a network of statewide land information systems. Specifically, the Wisconsin Land Information Association’s mission is focused on promoting sound policy, promoting interaction and cooperation, technical research and education.
