The next meeting will be on June 25th.  At that meeting KGIS will present its re-designed Points of Interest feature class and seek input from KGIS users in regards to how it might be improved / maintained.  For more information please visit the User Group page at http://new.kgis.net/portal/Projects/UserGroup/tabid/562/Default.aspx.

On Monday, May 14th at 9:30 a.m. (in the Small Assembly Room of the City-County Building Annex) ESRI will be conducting a 2-hour presentation (and demos) of its ArcGIS for Local Government initiatives, including an overview of the ArcGIS Online cloud-based services. Visit ESRI's Local Gov web page here.

The realigned State of Tennessee Senate and House districts maps have been updated on KNOXnetWhere, KGIS's interactive mapping site. The boundaries were realigned based upon the 2010 Census data, and are administered on the KGIS by the Knoxville MPC.

To view the boundaries, just click on the "Select a Map Theme" drop down box in the upper right corner of the KNOXnetWhere application; then select either the State Senate or State House options from the Political Districts Theme.

KGIS users should be aware that the Deed Recorded Date is currently no longer available to KGIS applications (such as the Property Map & Details Report, and the Property Details sections of the Interactive mapping web sites KnoxNetWhere and KGIS Lite).  Hopefully this is temporary until such time that the new Appraisal system can make this information available again to KGIS users. (However, the Deed "Sale Date" is still accessible via the KGIS Owner Card.)

Users of the KGIS Maps and MPC Cases applications will see a new format in the KGIS Owner Card report beginning Friday, Jan. 13th, 2012 to accommodate the newly implemented workflows of the Knox County Property Assessor's Office.

However, the Owner Card in the KNOXnetWhere app, and in the Online Reports section of www.kgis.org will retain its old format until these applications are upgraded sometime later in 2012.
