<br /> <br />REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION <br /> <br />DATE: 09/22/03 <br />ITEM NO: XI. F. <br /> <br />Department Approval: <br />DJW/DPW <br /> <br />Item Description: <br /> <br />City Manager Approval <br />~~ <br /> <br />Authorizing City to enter into Data License Agreement with Hennepin <br />County for the use of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Data <br />(PF3520). <br /> <br />Agenda Section: <br />CONSENT <br /> <br />1.0 BACKGROUND: <br /> <br />The City of Roseville desires the use of GIS parcel-level data from metropolitan county <br />data providers for the purposes of data analysis. There is significant value in the city <br />gaining access to this level of data. It enables the city to perform numerous comparative <br />studies with like first-ring communities such as analysis of housing supply. <br /> <br />An agreement already exists for use of Ramsey County data by virtue of the City's <br />membership with the Ramsey County GIS Users Group. All other metropolitan county <br />data sets except Hennepin County, can be accessed through MetroGIS (the Metropolitan <br />Council GIS initiative that fosters data sharing and access in the region). The data for <br />these counties are at our disposal. Hennepin County requires a separate data agreement to <br />be authorized by the city for access to its information. Their agreement is known as the <br />Electronic Proprietary Database (EPDB) License Agreement. <br /> <br />2.0 STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS: <br /> <br />2.1 After review of the agreement by the City Attorney and subsequent approval, staff <br />recommends that Council authorizes the City Manager to sign the agreement on behalf of <br />the City. There is no cost to the City. <br /> <br />3.0 SUGGESTED COUNCIL ACTION: <br /> <br />By resolution, approve entering into a separate Electronic Proprietary Database <br />(EPDB) License Agreement with Hennepin County and authorizing the City <br />Manager to sign the agreement. <br /> <br />Prepared by: David Windle (651-490-2219) <br /> <br />Attachments: Resolution and Hennepin County EPDB Agreement. <br />\\VictorialcommdevIPlanning Files\3500-3549\3520 _Ramsey _ County_GIS _ User_Group _JP A _ RenewallPF3520 RCA 092203.doc <br /> <br />PF3520 - RCA 092203 - Page I of I <br />
