Greg, Thanks so much for the reply.  I'll run through some of your suggestions and see how it all pans out. I'll repost here with any results. Jason ... View more

Lance, I have recently completed my County's update to our Official County Map.  We're not producing a map book but a more traditional large format map so with that being said, I didn't utilize data drive pages. However, in my situation, I had converted the grid to a polygon, clipped street centerlines to municipalities and converted them to points, and then utilized a spatial join.  I was able to generate grid locations (A1-H12) for each muni. ...

Has anyone gotten back to you on this yet?  I have a raster file representing flood depths that I would like to add to a webmap and the ability to provide pixel values is necessary for the purposes of the application.  ... View more

I think we might have had one of those situations where two precincts voted at the same polling location.  Since the query first interacts with the polygon then finds the related point, we just added another point. Looks the same but acts different ( i.e. separate ballot) That's what I was trying to avoid; having duplicate polling location features.  I'm just surprised that the application wasn't designed so that the attachments are associated with the polling place table as opposed to the feature class.  It seems to me that there was a lack of forethought regarding the associated of one polling place with multiple districts.  Unless I am simply failing to wrap my mind around the workflow correctly. ...

for us we have multiple voting districts (each with different ballots) and they are divided into polling precincts. polling precincts boundaries do not cross voting districts. there is also only one polling place for each polling precinct.  For us each polling place will have a ballot for democrats, republicans, and unaffiliated (school board).   I could only get one ballot to show up so we combined the three samples into one pdf and attached it to the polling place point. incoming queries interact with polling precincts which have a one to one relationship with polling place. The attachment and other info time,contact ect.. come from that feature class.  The attachments are stored in a related attachment table in a blob field, so each polling place gets its own copy of the sample.  It makes for time consuming updating.  Hope that helps. That's what I was worried about.  I say voting districts but that would be the same as your precincts.  Our county doesn't use that terminology but that is neither here nor there.  Many of our polling places service numerous voting districts and I'm working on figuring out the best way to get the correct ballot to populate depending on the district.  My best thought is to create a new relationship with the district/precinct polling place standalone table for the purpose of attachments and make any necessary adjustments in the .js if necessary.  I haven't examined the .js to see how the attachments are processed yet so we'll see what happens.  Thanks for the insight. ...

Ok I was right. Just add the ballots as attachments to the features and publish. I added the attach table to the published service. I am not sure if I needed to but it works so I will keep it. Joe, Just to clarify for myself and others, you added the attachments to the polling locations point features.  I think I might be thinking myself in circles based on the fact that the number of polling locations doesn't match the number of voting districts based on the one to many relationship.  As such, I'm trying to decipher how the correct sample ballot will display by attaching to the polling locations as opposed to the districts themselves.  Jason ...

Other variation.  Note all fields are string.  P-L SC: If [MUN] = "0901" Then output = "Bayonne" ELSEIF [MUN] = "0902" Then output = "East Newark" ELSEIF [MUN] = "0903" Then output = "Guttenberg" ELSEIF [MUN] = "0904" Then output = "Harrison" ELSEFIF [MUN] = "0905" Then output = "Hoboken" ELSEIF [MUN] = "0906" Then output = "Jersey City" ELSEIF [MUN] = "0907" Then output = "Kearny" ELSEIF [MUN]= "0908" Then output = "North Bergen" ELSEIF [MUN] = "0909" Then output = "Secaucus" ELSEIF [MUN] = "0910" Then output = "Union City" ELSEIF [MUN] = "0911" Then output = "Weehawken" ELSEIF [MUN] = "0912" Then output = "West New York" MUNI=output ...

Tom, Thanks very much for your reply.  I find myself in exactly that position; trying to ascertain what data is salvageable and what data needs to be scrapped.  My primary concern is the migration of parcel data into the LGM due to the fact that the data is, in some cases, wildy out of date and no topology has been constructed.  This is a process I have generalized knowledge about and have not attempted on such a large scale.  My county has upwards of 130k parcels.  Luckily, several municipalities have just recently updated their digital tax maps which will be able to be integrated with the current database that is currently constructed.  As I had mentioned, some of the main projects I want to implement into the LGM include transprotation systems, stormwater, open space.  I'm wondering about the flexibility of the model in terms of being able to introduce new data sets that are not currently a part of the model or if they should stand alone.  I do appreciate your input as I'm really interested to see how other entities have implemented the model and to what degree of success.  Thanks again. Jason Jason, I took over a rural county's GIS in April of this year. The Local Government Model is just a framework for GIS data. The reason I choose to implement it was legacy. The GIS data I walked into was like going into a horder house. Lots of stuff everywhere but what is good, what is garbage, I have no clue? I choose to migrate to the LGM because when I hand off my data to the next person, I don't want to leave them the same mess that was left to me. There is no reason that you have implement everything in the LGM. For example, there are no water or sewer services in our county as everyone is on well and septic, so those components are empty. Implement what works, add what you need. Integrating the MODIV code should not be a problem either by using the existing Parcel ID field or adding a specific MODIV field. Best, -Tom ... View more
