Yearly GIS Maintenance of E.A.A. Convention Grounds Infrastructure
• In 1994, Winnebago County GIS was requested by various County Departments and E.A.A. Facilities to maintain the infrastructure of the convention grounds.
• Since 1994 to present, Winnebago County GIS personnel notifies the E.A.A. Facilities Manager in May for site plan maps of any changes that have occurred since the prior convention.
• There are 6 vector layers, 3 text label layers and 4 databases that are maintained by Winnebago County GIS.
Process Order of Editing GIS Layers and Databases for the E.A.A. Convention Grounds
• Contact the E.A.A. Facilities for hardcopies of site plan maps and/or digital data from their contracted engineering company of any changes of the GIS layers mentioned below.
• Edit the pavement edge line layer of roads and parking lots.• Edit street centerlines and related database.• Edit building footprint area features and tag with E.A.A.
assigned building number (ex. 35).• Edit physical address point layer and tag with a parcel number-
address number combination (91323010000-1295). Related database is also edited.
• Edit street centerlines for E911 address range line layer and related database.
Process Order of Editing GIS Layers and Databases for the E.A.A. Convention Grounds (continued)
• Edit E.A.A. grid area feature layer and tag with the grid location identifier (ex. G1), but only if needed.
• Edit E.A.A. building number, physical address and street name text, in that order.
• Work with E.A.A. Facilities Secretary in updating the Building Alpha/Numeric Listings using MicroSoft Excell.
• Link edited GIS Genamap layers to their associated VI Text Editor databases.
• Export Genamap files to ESRI SHAPE files for Arc applications.• Print yearly maps and database information in hardcopy and
provide electronic PDF format for a number of agencies.

E.A.A. building number 90 has a physical address of 1222 Kilps Ave. which is linked to the database shown below.
E.A.A. Building Listing Updates
After all the GIS vector and text layers, along with related databases, are updated for the upcoming E.A.A. AirVenture Oshkosh Convention, the E.A.A. building listing database needs to be updated with close communication between the E.A.A. Facilities secretary and GIS Database Administrator. GIS oversees the grid location and the assigned physical address information. Through emailed copies of the Excell Database, the listings of the building alphabetic and numeric listing get updated by the E.A.A. Facilities secretary. Final electronic copies are sent from E.A.A. Facilities to Winnebago Co. GIS.
