Helping Assure Responsible Land Management Practices in Pima County
Pima County owns 84,000 acres, and manages another 127,600 acres of property in Southeastern Arizona. Located in the County’s Public Works Division, the Real Property Services group is charged with managing this property which includes parks, environmental and cultural reserves, grazing leases, easements and more.
To help with the task of maintaining a comprehensive database of county-owned land, Real Property Services turned to local GIS consulting firm TerraSystems Southwest Inc. for assistance. The Jones Payne Group is working with TerraSystems to assess the need and functional requirements for a new Land Management System (LMS) including a new database system that Real Property Services and its collaborating departments can utilize in tracking the myriad of transactions and property-related information needed to maintain a comprehensive property inventory.
The Jones Payne Group and TerraSystems have interviewed key staff members from Environmental Services, Natural Resources Parks and Recreation, Cultural Resources, Water Resources, County Administrative Services, Real Property Services, and other County departments to determine the requirements and opportunities for a new multi-user, interdepartmental LMS database system. The new LMS will integrate the various functions that each department performs in the acquisition, disposal and management of County-owned property. The team is presently compiling its findings and recommendations into the County Information Technology’s needs assessment document format for submission.
