recommendation
BOARD ACTION REQUESTED:
Approval to pay invoice for 2026/2027 annual GIS software maintenance
BACKGROUND:
Pooling ESRI maintenance has been an annual activity since 2004 with the creation of the GIS department.
DISCUSSION:
This is a beneficial effort to the county and the partner entities. There was an increase this year due to a long-term discount program expiring.
IMPACT ON HUMAN RESOURCES:
None
IMPACT ON BUDGET:
In approved budget. Software for the period of 11/1/26-10/31/27. Most of the cost is pass-through and will be invoiced to individual entities that participate.
IMPACT ON FACILITIES:

IMPACT ON TECHNOLOGY:
This is essential for software support and updates. Software updates occur about 6 times per year and we do use tech support multiple occasions in a typical year.
CONFORMITY TO COUNTY PRIORITIES:
This is a collaborative program across entities that allows all parties to reduce costs by pooling the maintenance fees. Therefore, this is helpful to both Collaborative Culture and Long-Term Financial Stability.
