Program This year Monroe County flew LiDAR. In anticipation of future distribution and utilization, Justin discussed the basics of LiDAR. He focused on what LiDAR is, how its collected, differences in sensors, and what the deliverable look like. He also presented an example of how to process LiDAR and some of its early uses. There was also a glimpse into future projects planned at Monroe County utilizing LiDAR including flood models and 3D modeling. |

Program This program presented two similar ArcGIS solutions to mobile mapping for emergency services and municipal agencies looking for an inexpensive approach to “response maps” and preplanning. Dan Allen, GIS Consultant from MRB Group, Tom Hetherington, Deputy Chief of Village of Churchville Fire Department, and Jeff Tewksbury, GIS Coordinator for the Town of Ogden, presented applications that have been developed for several Monroe County agencies and municipalities. |

Program Real
Property Tax Administration Technology Improvement Grant
Program (RPTATIP) The Office of Real Property Services (ORPS) has established the Real Property Tax Administration Technology Improvement grant program to advance the agency's mission "to support local governments in their pursuit of real property tax equity." Users of parcel level data can be provided more effective and efficient access to the information they need through the sharing of parcel level data, advancements in the use of technology and integrated real property systems. An important component to this grant program is to enable taxpayers, both current and potential, to gain access to parcel level data and sales information with greater ease and efficiency. Also important is improving the efficiency and effectiveness of business processes through intergovernmental collaboration and cooperation in the use of real property data. JoAnn Whalen of the New York State Office of Real Property Services presented an overview of the 2005-06 RPTATIP project and results, and proposals and time frames for the 2006-07 RPTATIP project. The presentation was followed by lunch from Charbroil. |

Program Potential
Uses of GIS in Determining & Managing "Point of
Dispensing" (POD) Site Suitability and Selection Monroe County Department of Public Health is in the process of identifying potential POD sites to be used during a large-scale public health emergency. These sites will be "activated" should it become necessary to provide immunizations and/or medication to the population. These sites should be:
Members of the Site Survey Task Force have completed approximately 50-site surveys within Monroe County. The selection process continues and to date 17 sites selected have agreed to become PODs and responded with a signed Letter of Agreement (LOA). |

Program An
Overview of the New Statewide GIS Roads & Addressing
Data Set New York State recently released the NYS Accident Location Information System (ALIS) GIS data, often referred to as the new Statewide GIS Streets and Addressing Data. This presentation provided an overview of the newly available NYS Streets file and the other associated ALIS GIS data layers and discussed how local governments and all NYS GIS Data Sharing Cooperative members can access the data layers, associated documentation, and new geocoding tools. Expected data maintenance releases and GIS user community participation in data maintenance partnerships was also be discussed. The presentation was followed by luch from Taste of Texas BBQ. |

Program There's nothing wrong with shapefiles, so why should you make the switch to the geodatabase? Mike and Craig discussed and demonstrated several of the features that the geodatadase offers, including Feature Classes and Datasets, Spatial & Attribute Validation in the form of Topologies and Domains, Feature-Linked Annotation, and Relationship Classes. They demonstrated each feature using specific, real-world examples. The presentation was followed by lunch from Charbroil. |

Program Our
December program featured a presentation on Geocaching by Sandra
Forbes, President of the New York Geocaching Organization. Geocaching
is an entertaining adventure game for GPS users. Participating
in a cache hunt is a good way to take advantage of the wonderful
features and capability of a GPS unit. The basic idea is to have
individuals and organizations set up caches all over the world
and share the locations of these caches on the internet. GPS
users can then use the location coordinates to find the caches.
There are over 3400 geocaches hidden in New York State alone! |

Program Dr.
DeGloria's interests focus on advancing the development and use
of spatial data to meet environmental information needs domestically
and internationally. His current work focuses on improving the
resource inventory process through the use of aerospace imagery,
developing spatial models that incorporate multi-spectral and
multi-temporal data from Earth-orbiting satellites, and integrating
biophysical and socio-economic data for use in spatially-explicit
simulation models of environmental processes in mixed use landscapes.
