Agenda Why are we here? Panel Presentations Discussion

Why Are We Here? Next-Generation 9-1-1 data discussions City boundary currency & completeness Get the word out, make connections Get feedback and learn Other needs/other benefits Census Tax collection NG911 WG – derived largely from the GISTC NG911 WG discussion – city boundaries ID’d as an important dataset Hub has this - but for NG911 need more current Make our needs known - The WG thought it would be a good idea to personally describe our needs and very importantly to hear from you on the challenges faced by you in providing this data – don’t want to make you already very busy day even busier Other agencies need this - Along the way the Tax Dept and the Commerce Dept have both expressed great interest in having more current city boundaries

Why Are We Here? Agency representatives will describe: Why city boundaries are important Benefits back to cities, counties, public Other details Develop questions & comments, e.g., What can you do to assist? What would be the benefits to you? Others! Presenters provide insight - The panelists representing their agencies will describe their needs and how they perceive meeting these needs will in turn benefit the organizations that you represent Develop questions - Please keep in mind while you are listening to the panelist that we at the state are asking you for something but it is our belief that having more current and accurate boundaries will be of direct benefit to your cities and counties. Both in general such as maps and services from the Hub and agencies more specifically from products delivered by agencies. Please think about this and have some questions/concerns ready for the discussion
