Service Description: You are an analyst working in the assessor’s office of Monroe County, Illinois. A town in your county
recently took the nearly unprecedented step of moving the entire town from one location to another in
order to mitigate its risk from flood in the Mississippi River floodplain. This town, named Valmeyer,
determined that due to the repeated losses of life and property from floods, it was time to move to
higher ground.
Your job is to manage and maintain a GIS layer of parcel information, which describes property
boundaries and locations, and which other staff in the assessor’s office use in property appraisals, for
the county. Because the town moved, this parcel information is now out of date and needs to be
updated. In addition, you’ll be adding some information to the parcels to help the state department of
emergency management in its analysis of the town’s move so it can better handle future disasters.
You have an old and a new parcels layer. The new parcels layer needs to be updated with current data
so it can be compared to the old data. The data you’ll need to attach as new attributes to the parcels
layers includes:
The mean, minimum, and maximum elevation of each parcel
The mean, minimum, and maximum slope, in degrees, of each parcel
You’ll also need to add the mean distance to the location of the old town, in meters – this will help the
office of emergency management understand what is involved in these types of town relocations.
