Geolibrary. This bill adds a Geolibrarian and a GIS infonnation officer to staff the Maine Library of Geographic 
Information to collect, preserve and disseminate data, to manage funds and to direct the Geolibrary's activities. The bill 
includes General Fund appropriations of$177,215 in fiscal year 2019-20 and $255,647 in fiscal year 2020-?l to fund 
the new positions and associated costs. The bill also includes ongoing appropriations of $500,000 beginning in fiscal 
year 2019-20 for data acquisition and $1,500 for other expenses. The bill also establishes Other Special Revenue
