Information

Top of Page

BCAG initiated a GIS Working Group in 2000 to coordinate GIS planning activities between BCAG, its member agencies and other outside government agencies in Butte County. Meetings are held bi-monthly to discuss the development of common GIS data layers that can be used by all public agencies in the region. The meetings also serve as a forum to cooperatively develop joint GIS projects with other agencies, with a goal of reducing redundancy of effort and costs of developing GIS projects for each agency.

A variety of other GIS topics are regularly discussed, including the use of GIS data projections, metadata, GIS data standards, U.S. Census data, etc.

The Butte County GIS Working Group includes representatives from the following agencies:

BCAG
CSU, Chico Geographical Information Center
City of Chico
City of Oroville
Town of Paradise
Paradise Irrigation District
South Feather Water and Power
Northstar Engineering
Mooretown Rancheria
Butte County Development Services
Butte County Assessor's Office
California Department of Forestry
City of Chico Police Department

Meetings are held the third Tuesday of odd numbered months at 9 am in BCAG's Conference Room at 2580 Sierra Sunrise Terrace, Suite 100 in Chico. An agenda is distributed approximately one week prior to the meeting date.

Next Meeting
Postponed to March 23rd, 2010 (originally scheduled for 03/16/10)
