Thanks for the info. You haven't gotten a letter from this Idaho-based
group in the last three weeks, have you?

See ORS 190.050
190.050 Fees for geographic data; uses. (1) An
intergovernmental group may impose and collect reasonable fees based on
market prices or competitive bids for geographic data that have
commercial value and are an entire formula, pattern, compilation,
program, device, method, technique, process, database or system
developed with a significant expenditure of public funds. An
intergovernmental group may enter into agreements with private persons
or entities to assist with marketing such products. Notwithstanding any
other provision of law, intergovernmental group software product
programming source codes, object codes and geographic databases or
systems are confidential and exempt from public disclosure under ORS

Subject: [oagitm] Public Records request for GIS data.
We recently received a public records request for all of
Washington County's GIS data. The request identifies an extensive list
of specific GIS elements and includes a catch all, "other GIS data".
The requestor is looking for a process to assure timely monthly updates
of all data and notes that, "...similar arrangements have been made with
other counties in Oregon".
We are working with legal counsel to determine our response and
to assure we comply with our Public Records obligations. We are
curious if/how others are dealing/have dealt with this type of request -
especially when some of you are actually selling data that might fall
under the umbrella of public records.
Any help/insight would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Joel
