County Assessor Andrea Jerkowitz and GIS Program Manager Robin Balogh told the board the county must upgrade servers and ESRI software as part of a move to Windows 11. Balogh said ESRI advised the county that its current Azure software was two years out of date and that installing the current ESRI software would take a consultant roughly 70 hours. She said ESRI’s portion of the work is estimated at roughly $27,000, not to exceed that amount.

Jerkowitz asked the board to authorize submission of an application to the ORMAP fund and to authorize the assessor to sign the application. A commissioner moved to approve the application and the signing authorization; the motion passed with board members voting in favor.

Balogh told the board the work would include an initial study to outline steps for ESRI and county IT staff and that the ESRI installation would be completed remotely. She said the assessor’s office expects in-kind contributions from county IT and the assessor’s office to reduce costs.

The application will be submitted to the Department of Revenue–administered ORMAP fund; county staff said ORMAP may choose to fund none, part, or all of the ESRI cost.

Next steps: staff will submit the ORMAP grant application and notify the board when a funding determination is received.","Columbia County assessed office requested board authorization to apply for ORMAP funding to help cover an estimated $27,000 ESRI software upgrade tied to a Windows 11 server migration.

Senior Assistant County Counsel Spencer Carson told the board that state law requires a public hearing before adopting new or increased fees. Nathan Woodward, the county surveyor, said the proposed increases stem from rising wages and the time required to review surveys.

Woodward said the county last reviewed surveyor fees in 2017 and that he based the new schedule on the average time it takes his office to review plats, subdivisions and partition maps. He told the board he compared the proposed fees to those in 10 other counties to check how Columbia County’s charges would compare.

Carson said that, if the board finds the fees acceptable, the ordinance or fee schedule would be placed on a future consent agenda for formal approval. No vote to adopt the fees was taken at Wednesday’s meeting.

The hearing record shows no in-room or online public testimony was offered before the board closed the hearing.

Next steps: the proposed fee schedule will return to the board on a future consent agenda for potential formal adoption.","The Columbia County Board of Commissioners held a statutorily required hearing on proposed updates to the surveyor office fee schedule. Nathan Woodward, county surveyor, said the increases are driven by wage and time costs; the board closed the hearing with no public testimony and will consider the item on a future consent agenda.","actionData","errors"]
