Deane,
I agree with Paul Norman's recommendation to add the address information to
the building outline if there is only one address.

As he also requested, the data license must be compatible with ODbL or
explicit permission, in writing and document on the wiki, must be obtained.
I can't stress how important this is.

The wiki mentions that addr:city will be populated from on Census Populated
Places data. Typically it is the postal city. If you are just importing for
the city of Flagstaff that likely isn't an issue.

On a side note, I'm curious why ESRI is running this import. Could you help
us understand why and what ESRI and the City of Flagstaff are hoping to
gain? With the next SotM US [1] to take place in Tucson, I hope you'll
present what you learned at the conference.

Best,
Clifford
