County Scorecard Update 2008 at NCAS meeting

1. County Scorecard Update
   NACS

 

• •NOAA has a relatively new performance metric that assesses how well we are doing at “enabling” local capacity for accurate positioning.  This metric: 

• • Makes use of NOAA’s Online Positioning User Service (OPUS) as a proxy to assess the local use of NOAA positioning tools and services. Was developed over the past several years in partnership with National Association of County Surveyors (NACS).  

  • Involves the use of a web-based county scorecard of 23 survey questions specifically focusing on infrastructure, NGS models and tools, NGS capacity building and outreach, and overall satisfaction.  

• •We need input from YOU, our core customers, to help NOAA improve its geospatial products and services. 

• •For more information, visit http://www.ngs.noaa.gov/scorecard/

1. Background

 

1. Our Performance Metric Asks

• •Are Counties using NOAA’s positioning products and services? 

• • NOAA looks at County Online Positioning User Service (OPUS) use as a proxy.  Have there been 25 or more OPUS solution generations in a given county in the last 12 months? 

  • Counties meeting the above criteria are “substantially enabled” (shaded yellow). 

• •Is there feedback and interaction between the local community and NOAA? 

 

1. GPRA Measure Details

• 1. Indicator:

             By County, a measure of the NOAA-provided level of infrastructure, tools, and local capacity needed for accurate positioning as follows:  

• 1.       RED    –   Not yet classified

• 1. YELLOW   –   County “substantially enabled” to conduct                             accurate positioning (Use OPUS as a Proxy)

• 1.   GREEN    –  County is “fully enabled” to conduct accurate                             positioning (Use County Scorecard for validation and                               to improve NGS products and services)

• 1.        

1. • Red:  This is indicated by fewer than 25 OPUS solution generations in a given county in the last year and no capacity validation.

     Yellow:  Indicates county has demonstrated capacity needed for accurate positioning.  This is indicated by 25 or more OPUS solution generations in a given county in the last year.  

     Green:  Indicates county validated capacity needed for accurate positioning.  This is indicated by having local interaction through, for example, a submitted and accepted OPUS project for inclusion in the NOAA’s geodetic database.

1. County Scorecard Next Steps

• •Involve NACS and NACo GIS Committee members in 2008 ESRI Survey & Engineering GIS Summit (August 2 – 5, 2008) 

• •Work with NACo on possibility of hosting focus groups or other workshops with core customers to provide an independent evaluation of NGS programs and how we are doing. 

• •Add NACo National Association of County Engineers events to NGS’ outreach calendar (for example NACE Illinois 2009 Annual Conference) 

• •Reach out to and brief other NACo constituencies 

• •Provide feedback to further incorporate stakeholder feedback into NGS management decisions. 

• •Investigate linkages to National Height Modernization efforts 

• •Other areas?  We welcome your input.
