Development departments. Note - Emergency Services will have primary maintenance <br /> responsibility for the street centerlines ) . Assessment and evaluation of the existing GIS <br /> organizational structure and staffing are critical for establishing a viable and successful GIS <br /> coordination effort. <br /> A variety of coordination and management tasks, including data content , data collection <br /> and metadato standards, should be implemented and enforced by the recommended GIS <br /> Director. Enterprise GIS infrastructure , such as a central data repository (centralized GIS <br /> server or servers) for the County ' s GIS data , should also be coordinated and managed by <br /> the GIS Director. <br /> The GIS Director will be responsible for data creation , data collection (when necessary) , <br /> conversion , and maintenance for all non department-specific data layers and establishing <br /> data integrity checks for critical enterprise layers such as planimetrics ; in the short term , the <br /> GIS Director will also be responsible for updating and maintaining some department-specific <br /> data . In the long term , GIS- participating departments should be responsible for updating <br /> and maintaining all other GIS data layers , utilizing standards developed and issued by the <br /> GIS Director. GTG recommends that the GIS Director position be created and filled as quickly <br /> and efficiently as possible, given that the new GIS Director will play a significant role in <br /> furthering and managing the County ' s GIS implementation . <br /> It should be noted that Florida laws governing field- based GIS data collection and <br /> development require oversight by a qualified land surveyor that is registered by the State . In <br /> light of this requirement, the GIS Director will need to collaborate with the County Surveyor or <br /> qualified consultants to ensure that the appropriate and necessary technical oversight is in <br /> place to ensure that field -collected/developed data conforms to Florida Laws , Regulations <br /> and best practices . <br /> GIS- participating departments will have the primary authority to recommend new GIS <br /> applications for their own use , but the GIS Director will review all requests for compatibility <br /> and applicability. <br /> The GIS Director should implement three levels of departmental support, depending upon <br /> the current level of GIS use and internal capabilities per department. This support will be <br /> coordinated with the Computer Services Department, as there may be some overlap . <br /> Levels of support include : <br /> Level 1 - GIS Director provides minimal support for department/division/office GIS <br /> activities, system and application support. The GIS Director is used primarily for <br /> strategic and procedural support. At present , Emergency Services , Property <br /> Appraiser' s Office , and Utilities Services operate at Level 1 , although it is expected <br /> that the Community Development and Public Works departments ( GIS Specialist ; GIS <br /> Technician ) will be at Level 1 in the near future . <br /> Level 2 - GIS Director provides partial support for department/division/office GIS <br /> activities. A Level 2 department/ division / office will do most of its own data <br /> maintenance , but the GIS Director will provide advanced support; the GIS Director <br /> ' will also be responsible for advanced spatial analysis as well as application <br /> development . The Community Development Department, General Services <br /> Department, Health Department, Human Services , Public Works Department, and <br /> Supervisor of Elections Office will to operate as Level 2 in the short term .
