Purpose

to authorize participation in the USGS 3DEP program as a partner with the State and authorize the purchase of Ortho-imaging and LiDAR products from Ayres Assoc.

Background

Background:  The Sauk County Land Information Department maintains the Sauk County Geographic Information System (GIS) for the County.  The purpose of the system is to provide accurate and current records related to the geography of Sauk County for public and private use.  These records include digital aerial photography (Orthoimagery) and digital contour data acquired using 3D laser scanning technology (LiDAR).  The most recent Orthoimagery was acquired in 2015, and the most recent LiDAR data was acquired in 2011.

 

Through Sauk County’s participation in the Wisconsin Regional Orthoimagery Consortium (WROC) and through partnership with the Wisconsin Department of Administration (DOA), Sauk County is able to utilize pricing negotiated by these entities for the acquisition of the LiDAR and Orthoimagery products.

 

To update the current GIS dataset, Sauk County seeks to participate in two proposed 2020 projects, through DOA and WROC, that would produce 6-inch resolution color Orthoimagery, and 1ft contour surface data using LiDAR, of the entire county. These projects will be funded with Land Records Modernization funds, which are derived from fees retained by the Register of Deeds, for the recording of documents.
