GIS director seeks unified addressing ordinance; court approves EagleView contract
Summary
GIS Director Kenneth Johns asked the fiscal court to direct the county attorney to draft a single addressing and street-naming ordinance covering Woodford County, Midway and Versailles; the court also approved a master service agreement with Pictometry International Corp. (EagleView).
Kenneth Johns, Woodford County GIS director, asked the Fiscal Court to direct the county attorney to draft a unified addressing and street-naming ordinance to replace three separate, inconsistent local ordinances for Midway, Versailles and Woodford County.
Johns told the court the current patchwork of three short ordinances is "extremely antiquated" in the context of changes tied to next-generation 9-1-1 systems and asked the county attorney to work with him on a draft. The court voted to direct the county attorney to draft the ordinance and to pursue intergovernmental coordination with the cities before final passage; the motion carried unanimously.
Separately, the court approved a master service agreement between the county and Pictometry International Corp., doing business as EagleView, for geospatial services. The motion to approve the agreement was moved by Squire Kelly Carl and seconded by Squire John Gentry and carried without objection.
Johns said a single, countywide addressing ordinance would give the GIS office clearer authority when assigning or changing addresses for developments and would bring local practice more in line with neighboring jurisdictions that have updated addressing rules.
