· Jeff – meeting in February

· Phil Dunshee from Enterprise America distributed the “Project Specifications” portion of the RFP to develop the new Iowa Counties Land Records Information System (CLRIS) – pages 29 through 36

· The goal is to develop and maintain a web site (iowalocalgov.org)

· Phil thanked the ICIT representatives for participating in the process (Jeff, Scott, Jim and Mitch Tollerude)

· He is actively trying to create opportunities for participation by other ISAC affiliates

· They have been through the second round of Q&A with the service providers and are now ready for proposals

· The technical assistance component to the RFP is for image conversion, indexing and telecommunication needs (speed of access)

· Structuring the system so that individual County Recorders can maintain ownership of the local records and data

· CLRIS will provide state level queries for multi-county records in a “feature rich” environment

· Building in the capability to access any participating individual county records from each county web site

· Start-up funding is through additional recording fees collected for each document and pooled

· Since counties do not currently have uniform fees, the capability is being built in for system to allow individual county fee structure and separate maintenance fees for multi-county searches

· Respond to build web-portal to access other County services and build a “Universal Web Portal”

· In the vendor proposal review, open source platform is preferred and will be given extra points

· March 30th there will be a day-long workshop for County officials and ICIT representatives on information technology sharing

· Biggest technical issue right now is the standards

o Most vendors do not like the PDF standard

o Scott commented that open standard will accept TIF

o The users of the system are going to want one viewer interface

o In the RFP, the vendor is responsible for conversion to PDF format so that local recorders can stay on existing formats during the three year term of the project, then move toward PDF format
