Congratulations to the new licensed land surveyors in California !!!!!

Well I don't know exactly who you all are but I do know that the statistics are out (meaning the pass/fail stat's are out)  You can view these statistics at:

It is an accomplishment that marks a significant point in your land surveying (geomatics) career.  And we look forward to those new LS numbers on items submitted to our office.

In Motion (Map Research)

Currently in motion is progress towards getting our map researching online.  Yes, you read that correctly.  We have been working with our ISD (Information Systems Dept.) doing the behind the scenes work to create a geographical searching tool that will be available online.  It's like putting the pieces to a puzzle together to bring it "live" online.  We have the "pieces" and ISD will put the puzzle together.  So far, we see that there will be a time consuming task of data entry for the maps that are indexed on the County Cadastral maps, which pre-dates the current database.  And efforts are being made to move our current database to a more "user-friendly" database that is more widely supported.  So hang in there....we're in motion.
