Message: <blockquote data-quote="BBQBluesMan" data-source="post: 251879" data-attributes="member: 1007">-No one knows how much this database is going to cost. Not the initial startup or the yearly cost. I don’t even think anyone knows who will be footing the bill. NDGF? North Dakota IT Dept?-No one knows which counties even have the data or capability to join such a database. No one knows how long it would take to get counties up to speed. -No one knows how much this will cost each county. Are they going to have to hire 1-2 full time staff to particiapte? No one knows that either. -No one knows whom in the county decides to enter their county into the database. -No one knows how often the database would need to be updated.-What will be the landowner participation in this database? No one knows that either. Remember that if a county opts in and a landowner doesn’t designate his or her land in the database, it’s automatically listed as OPEN on the database. But physical posting still supersedes the database. This ought to not confuse anyone or cause any issues. SMH-No other state has a database like this. Why? Because it is a costly waste of time.-No one knows the economic impact this will have to the state via loss of revenue generated from hunting and fishing because mark my words, this WILL affect access and not in a good way.-if landowners currently don’t participate in plots, why would they willingly advertise their land for public use? -pretty soon this multimillion dollar waste of money will just show a electronic database of posted land. Don’t even ask. And you can’t even ask because no contact information is required for that category.The chief information officer for North Dakota was wrangled up to give testimony. He played the new guy card for every damn question he was asked by the dual committees. No one knows hardly anything about this database, but we need to do something by golly, and this is it folks!! This is the answer, spending millions on a costly/logistical  nightmare of an electronic "access" database.</blockquote>
