Announcements & Calendar
California Supreme court rulingon GIS
California Supreme Court issued the opinion July 8,2013.
"The issue in this case is whether the OC Landbaseis subject to disclosure in a GIS file format at the
actual cost of duplication under the CaliforniaPublic Records Act or whether, as the County
contends, it is covered by the statute‘s exclusionof ―[c]omputer software‖ (Gov. Code, § 6254.9,
subd. (a)) — a term that ―includes computermapping systems‖ (id., § 6254.9, subd. (b)) —
from the definition of a public record.
We hold that although GIS mapping software fallswithin the ambit of this statutory exclusion, aGIS-formatted database like the OC Landbase
does not. Accordingly, such databases are publicrecords that, unless otherwise exempt, must be
produced upon request at the actual cost ofduplication."

President’s Message
Dear Fellow Surveyors,
I wanted to mention some items for discussion in this letter and a few events:
Membership – State CLSA and Chapter membership are the topics of the month. We need our chapter members
to also be members of the state CLSA. Chapters within CLSA get representation on the CLSA Board of Directors
based on our official count of members of our chapter that are also State Association members. One director for
every 20 members. We have four directors this year and we were just one away from having five. There are 400
(approx.) licensed surveyors in Riverside and San Bernardino Counties yet we struggle to reach 80.
NSPS 100% Membership – So far about half of the states have approved this measure and are working toward
signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with NSPS regarding this membership drive initiative. NSPS is
offering a rate of $40 per year for every member of a state association (currently $225 per year). Our membership
dues are currently $159 for corporate membership with the Association and CLSA has not raised the dues in at least
40 years if not longer. A CLSA Webinar explaining this is available to CLSA members for free. Go to the CLSA
website and to sign up for the webinar, which will be on June 20, 2013 at 12 PM. CLSA members may also watch a
recording of the webinar in the members section of the CLSA website later.
Bill Young Memorial Golf Tournament – The golf tournament this year was extremely successful. I would
like to thank the golfers, sponsors, students and volunteers for making this a huge year for us and our scholarship
drive. Our accounting of the event shows we had about $7100 in profit leading to what I believe is our biggest year
ever. The Chapter Board has decided to look at adding an extra scholarship or two this year so we can use the
money sooner to support land surveying education.
Future Dinner Meetings
● Jun 21 Angels Game with Pirates
● Jul 23 Joint Dinner Meeting with Orange County Chapter.
● Aug 17 New USGS Quad Maps
● Sep 19 Joint Dinner Meeting with ASCE - Parsons Brinckerhoff presents CA High Speed Train Project
The speaker from Parsons Brinckerhoff will be Charles M. (Mike) Gillam, VP
Thanks,
Ryan Versteeg, PLS

elimination.● Both professors that hold a professional land surveying license, are now retired.
The Need:

● CSU Fresno Geomatics has graduated over 700 students.● Students graduating from the CSU Fresno Geomatics program have gone on to serve in many leadership
positions in the land surveying profession both in the private and public sector.
The Solution:
● The CLSA Education Foundation has worked with CSU Fresno to create an endowment that will fund a fulltimeprofessor licensed to practice land surveying in California. This will help to ensure that the CSU Fresno
Geomatics program continues.● Lyles Foundation will match all donations, dollarfordollar, up to $1 million
