From 2009 to 2022 CAL FIRE maintained this dataset by processing and digitally capturing annexations sent by the state Board of Equalization (BOE). In 2022 CAL FIRE began sourcing data directly from BOE, in order to allow the authoritative department provide data directly. This data is then adjusted so it resembles the previous formats.</div><div style='font-family:inherit; font-variant-numeric:normal; font-variant-east-asian:normal;'><br /></div><div style='font-family:inherit; font-variant-numeric:normal; font-variant-east-asian:normal;'><font size='3' style='font-family:inherit;'><u>Processing includes:</u></font></div></div></div><div style='font-family:inherit; font-size:16px; font-variant-numeric:normal; font-variant-east-asian:normal;'><div style='font-family:inherit; font-variant-numeric:normal; font-variant-east-asian:normal;'><div style='font-family:inherit; font-variant-numeric:normal; font-variant-east-asian:normal;'><font size='2' style='font-family:inherit;'>• Clipping the dataset to traditional state boundaries</font></div></div></div><div style='font-family:inherit; font-size:16px; font-variant-numeric:normal; font-variant-east-asian:normal;'><div style='font-family:inherit; font-variant-numeric:normal; font-variant-east-asian:normal;'><div style='font-family:inherit; font-variant-numeric:normal; font-variant-east-asian:normal;'><font size='2' style='font-family:inherit;'>• Erasing areas that span the Bay Area (derived from calw221.gdb)</font></div></div></div><div style='font-family:inherit; font-size:16px; font-variant-numeric:normal; font-variant-east-asian:normal;'><div style='font-family:inherit; font-variant-numeric:normal; font-variant-east-asian:normal;'><div style='font-family:inherit; font-variant-numeric:normal; font-variant-east-asian:normal;'><font size='2' style='font-family:inherit;'>• Querying for incorporated areas only</font></div></div></div><div style='font-family:inherit; font-size:16px; font-variant-numeric:normal; font-variant-east-asian:normal;'><div style='font-family:inherit; font-variant-numeric:normal; font-variant-east-asian:normal;'><div style='font-family:inherit; font-variant-numeric:normal; font-variant-east-asian:normal;'><font size='2' style='font-family:inherit;'>• Dissolving each incorporated polygon into a single feature</font></div></div></div><div style='font-family:inherit; font-size:16px; font-variant-numeric:normal; font-variant-east-asian:normal;'><div style='font-family:inherit; font-variant-numeric:normal; font-variant-east-asian:normal;'><div style='font-family:inherit; font-variant-numeric:normal; font-variant-east-asian:normal;'><font size='2' style='font-family:inherit;'>• Calculating the COUNTY field to remove the word 'County'</font></div><div style='font-family:inherit; font-variant-numeric:normal; font-variant-east-asian:normal;'><br /></div></div></div><div style='font-variant-numeric:normal; font-variant-east-asian:normal;'><div style='font-variant-numeric:normal; font-variant-east-asian:normal;'><div style='font-variant-numeric:normal; font-variant-east-asian:normal;'><div style='font-variant-numeric:normal; font-variant-east-asian:normal;'><font face='Avenir Next W01, Avenir Next W00, Avenir Next, Avenir, Helvetica Neue, sans-serif'><span style='font-size:16px;'>Version 24_1 is based on BOE_CityCounty_20240315, and includes all annexations present in BOE_CityAnx2023_20240315</span></font><font face='Avenir Next W01, Avenir Next W00, Avenir Next, Avenir, Helvetica Neue, sans-serif' style='font-family:&quot;Avenir Next&quot;, Avenir, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size:15px;'><span style='font-size:16px;'>.
