TO: James Chandler County Administrator FROM: Robert M. Keating, AICP 644 Community Development Director DATE: February 12, 1992 SUBJECT: INDIAN RIVER COUNTY/ST. JOHNS RIVER WATER MANAGEMENT DISTRICT DATA EXCHANGE MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING It is requested that the formal consideration by the regular meeting of February DESCRIPTION & CONDITIONS: information contained herein be given Board of County Commissioners at their 18, 1992. Recently, county staff have been in contact with the St. Johns River Water Management District staff regarding county access to some of the Water Management District's data. At the present time, the county staff has a need to obtain certain digitized data regarding land use and land cover in Indian River County. Because of the amount and type of data which the District collects and maintains, however, there is no question that the County will have even more need to access St. Johns data in the future. The St. Johns River Water Management District is amenable to sharing its data resources with local governments. District policy, however, requires that the District and any interested local government enter into an interlocal agreement regarding data exchange prior to the district providing data at no cost to that local government. Structured as a memorandum of understanding between the District and the local government, the required interlocal agreement primarily commits the district and the local government to share information and establishes the general parameters for the data exchange. ALTERNATIVES & ANALYSIS: A copy of the proposed St. Johns River Water Management District/Indian River County memorandum of understanding is attached to this item. As structured, this memorandum of understanding provides the general parameters for data exchange and commits both parties to share data. The memorandum of understanding will not entail any costs to the county. As provided for within the memorandum, there will be no cost for general data exchange. If more detailed or costly data (such as development of custom report forms) is requested, the memorandum of understanding provides that the District and the County may enter into a written reimbursement agreement. It is staff's position that execution of the attached memorandum of understanding will provide benefits to both the County and the District with no cost to either party. 3 �� 1r P00r, CLd� tr �C r r 18 E
