To utilize the GIS system effectively, landbase data <br />such as right-of-way, streets, center lines, street names and parcel data <br />must be present on the system and continuously updated. <br />A number of outside entities, including the Gas Company, the County of <br />Orange, First American Real Estate Solutions (formerly TRW), and Thomas <br />Bros. Maps perform this function and have developed landbase data that <br />includes the geographical area of Santa Ana. Each of these companies has <br />a contractual arrangement with Digital Map Products (DMP) who, in turn is <br />offering the City an agreement that allows the use of this data for a <br />five year term. <br />To enhance the system, the City purchases digital orthophotography (a <br />photograph of the city from the air), which is a computerized image of <br />the City used for viewing and producing various maps. These digital <br />images, along with many layers of data and maps of the city are available <br />to all City users on the City's Intranet. <br />25E-1 <br />
