PURPOSE: To approve aninter-local agreement between Orange County and the Town of Chapel
Hill for the mutual purchase of GIS products from the County's vendor, Atlantic Technologies.
BACKGROUND: On January 20, 1998 the Board of Commissioners approved an agreement with
Atlantic Technologies to purchase digital data products to enhance the development of GIS in the
County by obtaining new orthophotos, topography, and planimetrics. This agreement covers a
multi-phase, multi-year project, and involved the participation of the County's municipalities,
OWASA, and the University in selecting the vendor and in designating the standards and features of
the data to be purchased.
The agreement with Atlantic allowed the Town of Chapel Hill to purchase GIS products produced
by the vendor from the County. The attached interlocal agreement between the County and the
Town sets policy on how data may be obtained when (1) the County has purchased a GIS digital
data product that the Town wants, or when (2) the Town has purchased a GIS digital data product
that the County wants. A fair-share basis to this agreement recognizes that the Town and County
would have had different standards and interest in features had they sought a contract with the
vendor on their own and therefore the joint or separate purchase of these products from each other
should reflect those differences. In general, the Town desires, in its jurisdiction for its purposes
(engineering, site design, development review), much larger scale mapping and more geographic
features captured than the County would need for its purposes (tax appraisal, emergency services) in
that area. The Town has already paid a share of the first two phases of the project (aerial
photography, ground control) that were approved by the Board on January 20, 1998.
RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board approve the inter-local
agreement with the Town of Chapel Hill, subject to final review by the County Attorney, and
authorize the Chair to sign.
