A geographic information system (GIS) has been discussed for a number of years and various departments of the county and cities have agreed that an accurate mapping system is critical to the operation of county and city government; and
The Land Based Data Users Group, based on information gained from the Computer Mapping and Information System Feasibility Study and the Implementation Plan, recommends a director be hired and a department established.
Therefore, the Board of Cowlitz County Commissioners of Cowlitz County, Washington, establishes a Geographic Information System Department effective December 1, 1991.
