Introduction This document describes the current state of the King County Geographic Information System (KCGIS). It represents the culmination of a collaborative effort by personnel throughout the county to describe the GIS work programs for participating agencies. GIS is critical to the business of King County, as demonstrated in its use for property appraisal, permit review, emergency services, human services, election services, wastewater facilities planning, natural resource and parks management, waste management, public health, road maintenance, transit services, airport management, crime analysis, budget development, policymaking, equity and social justice, legislative support, and growth management. This document provides the details of how GIS supports those and many other business functions. KCGIS was organized into a countywide federated structure in 2002 with an enterprise GIS unit (the King County GIS Center), a single point of executive level accountability for GIS within the county, and governance committees at the technical and oversight level. In 2012 the single point of accountability was transferred from the Director of the Department of Natural Resources and Parks (DNRP) to King County’s Chief Information Officer (CIO). In 2016 GIS governance was refreshed with new charters and new membership criteria for its technical advisory and steering committees. A key mission of KCGIS is to generate a comprehensive work plan (known as the Operations and Maintenance Plan, or O&M Plan). This document is the 2017-2018 edition of that work plan. The first such plan was written in 1997, and subsequent plans have been published nearly every year since. The result is a detailed picture of the King County GIS work program. The document is organized as follows: . Introduction . Organization . Priority Initiatives . Agency Work Plans . Summary Information . KCGIS Center Services . GIS Committees The Organization section details how GIS efforts are organized and governed within the County. The Priority Initiatives section provides information on the activities identified by the GIS governance committees as having significant benefit and high value for collaborative effort. These priorities change yearly, with some new initiatives added and some initiatives carrying over from year to year until their objectives are met. The Agency Work Plans section provides information on the organization, goals and objectives of the agencies as they implement and manage their GIS programs. This section may also include a listing of each agency’s major GIS projects. The Summary Information section provides a listing of each agency’s GIS staffing, a table of GIS software licenses, and information for linking to detailed information about the county’s GIS data. The KCGIS Center Services section summarizes the KCGIS Center’s various roles, functions and offering as the enterprise GIS unit. Information on the two committees that make up the governance structure is contained in the KCGIS Committees section. KCGIS embodies a rich source of data, an exceptional set of innovative applications, and a group of highly skilled and motivated professionals dedicated to serving the public’s needs. This resource is essential to the diverse business functions of King County. Support from the County Executive, management, and staff has provided a solid foundation for KCGIS to continue to grow and provide high- quality, cost-effective, and valued service to the residents of King County. The King County GIS O&M Plan is very much a working document. The information in this document will be used to refine King County GIS through cooperation, coordination, communication and consensus. 1 2017-2018 KCGIS Operations and Maintenance Plan 2 2017-2018 KCGIS Operations and Maintenance Plan 2 Organization The King County Geographic Information System (KCGIS) is a coordinated program of county agencies working in partnership with the KCGIS Center, the county’s provider of enterprise GIS services. The program is aligned to meet the County Executive’s vision for King County’s GIS to be the premier provider of GIS services in the region. King County’s Chief Information Officer (CIO) is the responsible authority designated by the County Executive as accountable for the KCGIS program. Aiding the CIO in governance of the program are GIS steering and technical advisory committees. The KCGIS Center is structured as an internal service fund administered within the home agency of the CIO, the Department of King County Information Technology (KCIT). The enterprise operations provided by the KCGIS Center are funded by nearly all county
