Wyoming State GIS Coordination Development,October 2004,Origination,The following geospatial data and technology coordination recommendation for Wyoming was created through response to the user community, WGIAC 2003 Survey, and at the request of the CIO,Base,Need for coordination between all Wyoming geospatial users involved in creating, maintaining, and using geographic information Recommendation plan to develop coordination, clarify responsibilities, build a foundation for the Wyoming spatial data, and ultimately save time and money. Coordination to occur at the state level to facilitate all involved,The Team,Team Requirments CooperativeRepresentatives from all levelsDriven,Task Force Members Alan Frank, Albany CountyBen Saunders, WyDOTBeth Hoobler, SEOCarol Norris, LSOJeff Hamerlinck, UWJim Oakleaf, UWJoseph Huss, WSGSRob Geringer, CBM & Associates,Tasks,Review existing documentsReview existing organizations and activitiesReview existing state modelsDevelop recommended Wyoming State model and planCommunity input and education(Review at: /GIS_Coord/WSGCDP.aspx),Recommendation,Current StatusIssues and NeedsRecommended StructureStrengths and RisksAccountabilityFundingTimeline,Current Status of GIS in Wyoming,GIS used at all levels across the stateState, Local, Municipal & Federal GovernmentPrivate Industry & AcademiaExisting OrganizationsWGIACWyoming I-TeamUser GroupsBig Horn, Northeast Wyoming, Casper/Natrona County, and Southeast User Geospatial ClearinghousesNSDI Nodes, WGIAC & WyGISC,Current Status of GIS in Wyoming,Geospatial ClearinghousesGeospatial data distributionLocal: Cheyenne/Laramie County, Teton County & Sublette CountyState: A&I, SEO, DEQ, Game and Fish, SHPO, WOGCC, DOR, WSGS, WyDOT.

The duplication leads to inefficiency and costs tax payers more money than necessaryNeedsA single funded coordinated distribution source for all Wyoming geospatial information to offer geospatial data, links, contacts, and information regarding ongoing projects,Training,IssuesMany organizations have pursued GIS without having clear objectives and expectations thus great variations of GIS literacy and skills also leading to a lack of needed trainingFew opportunities exist within Wyoming, forcing organizations to invest in out-of-state Organizations often can not take advantage of training because of the expenses NeedsAn education and training system for GIS personnel throughout Wyoming that can provide assistance in publicizing, organizing, and conducting training at all levels while leveraging collaborative funds,Standards,Issues Presently only standards exist on software and metadata Standards for development need to be addressed for all levels of government to increase efficiency of utilizationNeedsDevelop standards to facilitate the sharing of data, improve transferability, and improve supportability of GIS application softwareStandards for basic technical specifications (e.g. topology, clean linework, attributes, etc.) Data layer content standards for important new data sets such as land ownership, land use, and elevation,Does the Wyoming GIS Community want Coordination?,Question 25 “Do you agree that Wyoming needs a GIS coordinator/organization?”,Strong, 90% Response,Proposed Recommendation,Rescind Executive Order 1994-3, which created Wyoming Geographic Information Advisory Council (WGIAC)Appoint an executive-level Oversight CommitteeEstablish a Technical Advisory Group (TAG) from Wyoming GIS professionals Create a Geographic Information Officer (GIO) located under the authority of the Wyoming Chief Information Officer (CIO),Create a Geospatial Technical Services Program under the direction of the Geographic Information Office (GIO) located at the WyGISC,The Structure,OversightCommittee,Technical Advisory Group (TAG),Geographic Information Officer (GIO),Oversight Committee,Provides Executive Level direction to the GIS Coordination Office and the GIO. 5 Governor AppointeesAgency DirectorsExecutivesLed by CIO1-TAG member GIO As Ex-officio Member to conduct meetings,Oversight Committee,Ensures executive branchs priorities are known and metMakes and approves GIS policyConstructs and approves biannual review and strategic planApproves GIS agreements and contractsConducts GIO performance evaluationMeets minimum twice per year,Technical Advisory Group (TAG),Consists of 12 members (2-Federal, 2-State, 2-County, 2-Munipality, 2-Private, and 2-Education)Represents user communityGive guidance to Oversight Committee and GIOOne TAG representative is a member of the Oversight Committee.
