Data Request from BEST |
As you know, the B.E.S.T. effort has chartered an inter-agency team to improve the State's inventory
control systems. One aspect of that project is to map the location of key assets using the State's
Geographic Information System (GIS). The Kansas Information Technology Office (KITO) has evaluated
the database of land and buildings (maintained by Accounts and Reports) and determined that a
large percentage of entries do not include a properly formatted address that can be used to reference
the location of the asset. For example, an address shown as 1st and Main does not reference an
addressable location, but rather an intersection.
B.E.S.T.'s goal is to correct this deficiency and update the land and building inventory by
June 1st, so that we can keep our inventory control improvement project on track. Normally, your
agency would not report its holdings of land and buildings to Accounts and Reports until August
31st. Our request is that you (1) accelerate the normal reporting time line to Accounts and Reports
for land (DA-84) and buildings (DA-86) to June 1, 2003 (2) submit your complete holdings of land
and buildings, including updated addresses that match the format provided in the Division of
Accounts and Reports Policy and Procedure Manual Filing No.13,001 and (3) submit any additions
or deletions occurring to your land and building inventory during the month of June, to the Division
of Accounts and Reports by July 7, 2003 due to fiscal year close out.
