One of the goats of Indian River County ' s enterprise-wide GIS implementation is the creation of complete and accurate GIS data layers for road infrastructure and utility networks (water, sanitary sewer, storm water) , in an ArcGIS geodatabase format . Different amounts of features (with varying spatial accuracy and attribution ) have been collected for each utility = or road network. A complete and accurate model of each of these features will require a large undertaking , and therefore, this data will not be fully available to the Finance Director in the near future . A high priority of the recommended GIS Director will be to develop segmented street centerlines. Segmented street centerlines will greatly facilitate more accurate analysis of financial information about the County ' s road infrastructure . More information on this process can be found in Chapter 5 of this document. Once infrastructure GIS data layers are in a usable format, financial information can be linked . Most county finance information is stored in databases . GTG recommends the use of GIS software specifically designed to interface data stored in databases with GIS applications . Each feature with a unique identifier can then be linked to its spatial representation stored in this application , or utilized in ArcGIS . It is recommended that the Finance Director work closely with the Engineering Department to conduct necessary GASB 34 spatial analysis . r The advantages of linking financial information to GIS are three-fold . First, it provides a more advanced method of inventorying the Indian River County ' s infrastructure for the requirements of GASB 34. Infrastructure can be categorized by depreciation , valuation , etc . , and individual features of the infrastructure can be displayed according to their category . ' Secondly, GIS tools can be used for more advance analysis . When infrastructure assets are fully attributed according to depreciation , valuation , etc . , geographic analysis can be performed . For example , a query can be performed to determine the linear amount ( miles , feet, other units ) of road network infrastructure that has a depreciation percent of less than a chosen percentage . Thirdly , geographic display of the County ' s infrastructure , based on pertinent GASB 34 categories , will allow the County to recognize areas where capital assets y are rapidly depreciating . For further information , please refer to Appendix VII : GAS1334 . GIS Data Layer Inventory and Recommendations The Clerk ' s Office will benefit from access to several other departmental GIS data layers . It is expected that once all departmental data is integrated, consolidated , and centrally stored , that staff will have access to all non-classified GIS data layers from other County departments .
