It is generally felt that there is an advan <br />tage for all interested municipalities within the County cooperative <br />develop a common Geographic Information System. Your City has been <br />invited to send a representative to each of these informal meetings. <br />At this time we are interested in formalizing the Task Force via a <br />Joint Powers Agreement, so that a consultant can be retained to ana- <br />lyze our collective and individual needs for a Geographic <br />Information System. For those municipalities who decide to proceed <br />with the development of a Geographic Information System, the <br />consultant would also prepare a joint request for proposals and <br />assist in th~ evaluation of bids. <br /> <br />Attached is a great deal of information about Geographic Information <br />Systems, about the consultant we are proposing to retain and about <br />some estimated costs. Also attached is a short history of how we got <br />together informally and why we are proposing to formalize the Task <br />Force. <br /> <br />The purpose of this letter is twofold. First, we want to be certain <br />that all of the cities within the County are aware of some of the <br />advantages of Geographic Information Systems. Second,.we invite <br />your community to join in the Joint Powers agreement which will,'we' <br />feel, make'it possible for all of us to benefit from a Geographic <br />Information System. <br /> <br />Key dates to remember are that the Proposed Task force will commence <br />operations on May 26, 1988 and that we are asking that the executed <br />Joint Powers Agreement be returned to Paul Leegard, Anoka County <br />Highway Department at 1440 Bunker Lake Blvd, Andover, PIN 55304 or <br />John Flora City of Fridley prior to ~?y .24, 1988. <br /> <br />Affirmstive Action I Equal Opportunity Emplo*,.,er ~¢1~1l <br /> <br /> <br />
