web site. ESRI will soon withdraw support for the current software version
underlying the website. We will consequently need to move to their supported,
Arc Server environment. We are taking this opportunity to update the web site as
a whole. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns =

face="Times New Roman">As part of that update process, we're asking
for your suggestion on possible changes in both the content and usability
of the ORMAP website. Downstream we will also be looking for volunteers to test
the web site once the changes have been made. I've been tasked to collect the
suggestions for the web site as well as a list of people interested in testing
the site. <o:p></o:p></FONT></SPAN></P>

face="Times New Roman">We currently cannot provide any ownership information
that maybe found in the assessor's database on the ORMAP site, nor can we allow
for downloading of the tax lot, tax map, or tax code shapefiles (polygons). We
are currently planning to include aerial photography and road data (street
names) with the upgrade. We are open to any other suggestion that you may have
for the web site on either the mapping or the informational sides of the site.
We are also looking for input on what is not currently working for you on the
site and how you think we could improve on the
site.<o:p></o:p></FONT></SPAN></P>

July <SPAN class=603362118-30062010>9</SPAN>, 2010, I will compile the
responses and present them to our project team. If you are willing to be a
tester, I will notify you when we’re ready for testing. We have a January 1,
2011 completion date for the upgrade and plan to go live shortly there after.
Our plan is for testing to occur in October or November
2010.<o:p></o:p></FONT></SPAN></P>
