Access and Benefits

• Access can easily be achieved via computer and
  internet, through Monroe County GIS website.

• While being a very efficient way to look up
  public plat records many users will find it very
  useful.

• Users such as taxpayers who are extremely busy
  working and raising families could find
  information easier digitally opposed to
  non-digitally.

• Monroe County Government and City of Bloomington
  departments, major area utilities like gas and
  electric, could also benefit.

• Currently no access through GIS website however
  possible access achieved by end of February.

Challenges

• Making a new naming convention for original
  scanned plats that was simple and easy to
  implement in order to make the link into GIS.

• The finished number of hyperlink columns in
  subdivision table. Currently eight hyperlink
  columns.

• Creating a solution if hyperlink columns become
  too cumbersome to navigate.

• Discrepancies between plat name and subdivision
  table row name.

• Locating plat location in GIS if plat name does
  not exist in subdivision table. Some data sets
  may not be current, road layer, parcel layer,
  subdivision layer for example. Making location
  of plats at times a challenge.
