The Wisconsin Department of Administration (DOA) and State Cartographer’s Office (SCO) are pleased to announce the release of the Version 7 (V7) Statewide Parcel Map Database, the newest iteration of Wisconsin’s statewide digital parcel map.       

          Knowing why the data matters to your business needs is crucial for us to justify offering this service into the future.

After you have gotten a chance to take a look, thank you for letting us know how you use statewide parcel data!

Sincerely,

Now for a number of years the two Chapters have held a joint meeting.  They usually try to find a location that was easy to get to by members of both Chapters.  This year the meeting was at Brigham County Park which is right next to Blue Mounds State Park but without the stickers.  President Harvey addressed the group.  The members were happy to be meeting in person in a great location.  The Southwest Chapter provided the shelter and Madison brought the food.  MASC President Bob O'Neill did the cooking.  Both Chapters had brief business meetings.  And mother nature provided the sunset.

I went looking and found the new version of A-E 7 is online.  Check out the Legislative page and look up Administrative Code or just click on the link   https://drive.google.com/drive/u/1/folders/0ALAEUDLmaTZnUk9PVA

At the Examining Board meeting it was announced that there are a shortage of members both professional and citizen on many of the Sections.  In the Professional Land Surveyors Section, only Nathan Vaughn is actually a current professional member.  The other two are serving with expired terms.   If anyone is interested in serving, they will need to fill out the application on the Governor's website.  The one Citizen member's term expires on July 1, 2021.  There is also one vacant Citizen member position.  

Don't forget to vote by email to info@wsls.org and indicate your three favorite photos.  Cash prizes for the winners.  Please vote by May 15.  Winners will be in the June issue of the Wisconsin Professional Surveyor.  You can view the photos by clicking clicking on Members Area and then Library or clicking here

Congratulations,  

You have landed on the new WSLS Website.  There are a number of new and exciting things for you to review including a new shop with the much anticipated medallions. 

Team,

Today the Examining Board gave final approval to A-E 7 and A-E 6.  Long wait is finally over!

Also they gave "sort of" final approval to the permanent rule implementing the retired status license.  This rule still needs to clear its final approval from the passive review of the legislature -which is very likely to occur by next week.

There was no discussion from the full board of any of these rule approvals.
