Act to amend IC 4-23-7.3-19To amend (g) & (h) below to Sec 19 of the existing Indiana Code

DRAFT 1.0 Greg White (February 19, 2010)

IC 4-23-7.3-19 Indiana mapping data and standards fund (Sec. 19.)

(a) The Indiana mapping data and standards fund is established for the following purposes:

(1) Funding GIS grants.

(2) Administering this chapter.

(b) The fund consists of the following:

(1) Appropriations made to the fund by the general assembly.

(2) Gifts, grants, or other money received by the state for GIS purposes.

(c) The state GIS officer shall administer the fund.

(d) The expenses of administering the fund shall be paid from money in the fund.

(e) The treasurer of state shall invest the money in the fund not currently needed to meet the obligations of the fund in the same manner as other public money may be invested. Interest that accrues from these investments shall be deposited in the fund.

(f) Money in the fund at the end of a state fiscal year does not revert to the state general fund.

As added by P.L.198-2007, SEC.2.

Act to amend IC 4-23-7.3-19

(g) The county board of any county that provides and maintains a countywide Geographic Information System (GIS) may provide for an additional charge of five dollars ($5.00) for filing every instrument, paper, mortgage assignment or notice for record containing a legal description of property or premises referred to by document number, to defray the cost of implementing or maintaining the county’s geographic information system. Of that amount, three dollars ($3.00) must be deposited into a special fund set up by the treasurer of the county , and any moneys collected pursuant to this document and deposited into that fund must be used solely for the equipment, materials, software, supplemental salary requirements and necessary expenses incurred in implementing and maintaining a Geographic Information System. The remaining two dollars ($2.00) will be deposited one dollar ($1.00) into the recorders special fund to offset the cost of implementing and administering this transaction and one dollar ($1.00) into the Indiana mapping and data standards fund as described in IC 4-23-7.3-19.

(h) The foregoing fees allowed by this section are the maximum fees that may be collected by any officer, agency, department or other instrumentality of the state. The county board may, however, by ordinance, increase the fees allowed by this section and collect such increased fees from all persons and entities other than officers, agencies, departments and other instrumentalities of the State of Indiana if the increase is justified by an acceptable cost study showing that the fees allowed by this section are not sufficient to cover the cost of providing the service. Allowed increases may be reviewed yearly by the county board and may be rescinded upon the completion of the project or projects in which said cost study shows the fee increase is necessary to facilitate.

Board Member Outreach(Helping IGIC find GIS funding and grant opportunities)

• Times are tough & the competition for Grant $ is even tougher!

• Winning a grant is all about...

– Being creative (GIS is not the category or the cash-cow in many grant opportunities).

– Partnerships (GIS as a helping technology).

– Leverage existing funds & existing data.

– Eyes and ears on the ground!

• I need your help...

– Looking for potential opportunities, partners, and fulcrums. (grants.gov, cfda.gov, igic.org/funding/ ).
