The Project
• Research and gather opinions on past projects
• Survey, meetings, Webinars, interviews
• Develop program “blueprint”
Status?
• First public draft in mid-March
• Multiple ways to provide feedback
orthoplan.sco.wisc.edu
Resolution and Repeat Cycle
• One-foot is the most common need
• Accuracy matters!
• Three year repeat cycle preferred
• How critical are census years??
Potential Coverage for 3-Year Cycle
Program Models
•WROC
•WROC 2.0
•Distributed
• Service Bureau
WROC
• Procurement process led by RPCs
• Bottom-up model
• Everybody negotiates their own contract, bill paid direct to vendor
• Products vary between jurisdictions
WROC
• High-res products typically not in public domain
• No statewide product unless significant partner funding acquired
• All flying in one season
• Unknown number of participants at the start
WROC 2.0• Procurement process led by RPCs
• Bottom-up model
• Establish a formal governance structure
• Identify sustainable funding that is distributed directly to counties for a base product (i.e., a grant program)
• Statewide coverage presumed, since everybody gets funding for a base product
WROC 2.0• Everybody negotiates their own contract,
bill paid direct to vendor
• High-res data are public domain, distributed via WisconsinView
• Three year repeat recommended... 1/3 state flown each year
Service Bureau
• Develop a “Service Bureau” within a single state agency, presumably the GIO
• Top-down model
• Staff supported through overhead fees and some in-kind
• Service Bureau handles all communication with vendor
Service Bureau
• QA handled primarily by Service Bureau
• Single contract
• Buy-ups optional
• Bill is paid to the Service Bureau, they pay vendor
Distributed
• Responsibility shared across multiple organizations
• Blend of top-down, bottom-up
• Governance by committee
• Product specs by committee
• Day-to-day coordination handled by a “Management Group”
Distributed
• Single contracting handled by a separate “Contracting Group” to ensure best pricing
• Bill paid to Contracting Group if you do a buy-up
• Compromise of cost savings, but retain local control
• QA by counties and cities
Funding
• Needs to be cost-neutral
• WLIP? (commence tomato-throwing)
• Police and Fire Protection Fee?
• Ad-hoc partner funds
• State agencies?
Next Steps?
• Need to reach consensus on program models
• Funding options needs more work, and significant outreach
• Target implementation for 2018
