2013 AERIAL PHOTOGRAPHY UPDATE
In 2012, unusually warm weather caused the collection of new aerial photos to be postponed until this spring. Thankfully, favorable weather in recent weeks have allowed the 2013 Aerial Photography flights to be completed. Fifty percent of the images were captured between April 15 and April 17, and the rest were collected the week of the 22nd to the 28th.
The new 4 inch ortho (an upgrade from the previous 6 inch) and oblique photos will provide excellent clarity across the entire county and increase the utility of this data for users. Samples of the new air photos are available through these links: Ortho 1, Ortho 2, Ortho 3, Oblique 1, Oblique 2, Oblique 3, Oblique 4, and Oblique 5.
Updates will be posted as the air photos are processed and integrated into the Interactive Web Mapping site.

FORECLOSURE DATA
Milwaukee County property foreclosure data has been updated to include information added through the first quarter of 2013. The Foreclosure layer in the Administrative Group Layer shows foreclosed parcels that have sold in the last four quarters (April 1, 2012 through March 31, 2013). Two maps summarizing foreclosure data by a) purchaser and b) assessed value vs. sale price may be viewed by following the "Community Interest" links under the "Land Records" tab at the top of the home page. SharePoint users may access a compressed folder that includes a shapefile of parcels foreclosed over the past four quarters, a spreadsheet of all parcels scheduled for Sheriff's sale from 1/1/07 through 3/31/13, and metadata. After logging in to SharePoint, go to Documents > Shared Files > Data > MCLIO > Sheriffs Sale Foreclosure Data.

1951 AERIAL PHOTOGRAPHY PROJECT COMPLETE
The Milwaukee County Land Information Office's 1951 aerial photography rectification project has been completed. Currently, all 509 tiles have been processed and are available for viewing via the Interactive Map Service. To view the images, turn on the Aerial Image group layer, turn off the current image layer, expand the "More Imagery" group under the "Aerial Photos" group layer in the Interactive Mapping Service's Layer List, and turn on the "Aerial Photo 1951" layer. Some of the image tiles were collected in 1952, and replaced the original 1951 images. The LIO is investigating a process to restore all of the 1951 images and provide the 1952 separately. To view the collection dates of the image tiles as of now, click here.

What's New at MCLIO...
Happy Holidays from the Milwaukee County Land Information office! Here’s what’s been going on recently:
· Orthophotography/Oblique Imagery collection in 2012 had been delayed because of unseasonably warm weather conditions during the spring and the timing of funding approval. Collection is expected to occur in the spring of 2013 as soon as conditions allow, and will not be subject to any delays as project funding is in place.
· Rectification of the 1951 photos nears completion, and the unearthing of what is possibly the oldest set of air photos from circa 1928 promises ongoing opportunities for air photo acquisition.
· The MCLIO is planning an update to its Planimetric data, which was last done in 2005. Staff is soliciting additional questions from 3 of 4 vendors who responded to an RFP, and a decision is expected to be made in early 2013.
· Address and cadastral mapping updates, maintained by Milwaukee County and the City of Milwaukee, have been continuing. The Register of Deeds has noted an uptick in recorded documents, indicating an ongoing need for efficient processing of parcel and address changes.
· MCLIO is beginning the Business Needs Assessment program, which is intended to gauge the needs of MCAMLIS stakeholders and to formulate a work plan to provide services based on that input. On 12/4 the MCAMLIS Steering Committee approved a Business Needs Assessment Sub-Committee recommendation to have GEODECISIONS out of Madison be selected to do this work.
· SEWRPC has recently released a study titled “Estimate of the Costs of Converting the Foundational Elements of the Land Information and Public Works Management Systems in Southeastern Wisconsin from Legacy to New Datums”. The study details the potential costs of resurveying and employing newer datums. It is available in its entirety here.
· The 90th meeting of the MCAMLIS Steering Committee took place on December 4th. The material related to the issues listed above (and others) are available here.
