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.

Background
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?
GPRA Measure Details
Indicator:
By County, a measure of the NOAA-provided level of infrastructure, tools, and local capacity needed for accurate positioning as follows:
RED – Not yet classified
YELLOW – County “substantially enabled” to conduct accurate positioning (Use OPUS as a Proxy)
GREEN – County is “fully enabled” to conduct accurate positioning (Use County Scorecard for validation and to improve NGS products and services)
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.

Some Ongoing Activities Based on Feedback
NGS’ Corbin Training Center
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.
