Current Projects - June 2016

I'm working on a number of projects. The two big data creation projects are: Create the lift station layer and treatment plan layer with all available attributes for the Sewerage District #1. The other project is to continue work on the mains and laterals of the parish drainage system. The addition of the NHD flowline layer is assisting in identifying channels that don't show up well on Lidar or aerial photography.

This is the time of year I attend the Hurricane Data Mining workshop and go over all my disaster response layers, check to see if there is updated information to download, and create portable layer packages.

Though the budget for the public/private geoportal was cut, the GIS Committee will meet next week to discuss specifications and layers to include for a future project. This is the only outstanding project that remains to be done from the original 2010 implementation plan.

I plan to attend the Esri International User Conference at the end of this month. I've already marked many sessions to attend, as well as hands-on training and demo sessions. It's always a very intense learning experience, and I'm looking forward to bringing new ideas and products back.
