MetroGIS's Business Information Needs Process calls for each regional custodian and MetroGIS to co-sponsor Data Users Forums on a reoccurring basis for each endorsed regional dataset. The frequency of the forums is determined by MetroGIS. The purpose of these forums is to monitor user satisfaction and identify desired or needed enhancements to the regional data solutions, insuring they continue to address the needs of the MetroGIS community. The history of these forums for this dataset is as follows:

• September 25, 2003 Parcel Data Users Forum
