37) Does your agency work with neighboring states/agencies to connect GIS road networks at the borders?

Other Responses:

Haven't been asked by other states

We would like to work with neighbors.

38) Does your agency share a GIS road network with your State’s E911 system? If not, do you plan to do so in the future?

39) Is your agency using or considering the use of any of the following tools? If so, please include in additional comments the application(s) the tool is being in.

Comment Responses:

43) Would your agency be interested in hosting a GIS-T Symposium within the next few years?

Comment Responses:

NY Possibly with executive approval

OK Currently hosting

NV Depends on staffing and funding issues

CO Colorado hosted in 2003.

VT Vermont is not large enough to coordinate or staff a GIS-T.

44) Please provide any additional information or comments desired;

include any additional topics/questions that you would like to see added or changes you would like to see incorporated into this survey.

LA Some of the oney questions are hard to answer. We have several business units [non-IT] that pay for apllicatio development and support. I have n o idea how much. I think that question needs to be split for IT/non-IT.

OK Question 18 would not allow me to submit any number other than 0

AZ None at this time

SD none

NV information about consultants. good and bad expirences

CO Data collection - 1) working with business groups to define standards and specifications; 2) project management

PR DATA STANDARDS IMPLEMENTATION BETWEEN US STATES AND TERRITORIES.

WS There needs to be a GIS-T research forum, similar to what the Symposium was like in the earlier days.
