The GeoComm road centerline and addressable structure point layer project is on schedule, with the fieldwork complete at this time. The final data products are scheduled for delivery in September. The GeoComm project includes training on a maintenance workflow for these data products.
The GIS server hardware and software is installed, and development is continuing on data and web map projects. Iberia Parish Government has a network administrator, Mike Prejean, on staff since May 31. Mike Prejean will help the GIS department make web maps and the server database available to all participants in the IGA.
Development of web maps on the GIS server is currently under way. The SQL geodatabase is installed, and relevant data is being added to it.
We have recently received a layer, done for Iberia Parish by LAGIC through a grant from the USGS, which gives points and building footprints for locations important in a disaster recovery. These points are classified by type of structure, such as law enforcement, retail, community centers, churches, and so on.
Development of other foundation layers, such as the parish drainage, rights of way, and easements, is a continuing effort.
A group meeting of all GIS intergovernmental agreement participants will be scheduled soon.
