Committee approves routine 2025 GIS fee abatements for Altamont and Effingham; one member abstains
Summary
The committee approved annual intergovernmental agreements that abate a portion of 2025 GIS fees for the City of Altamont and the City of Effingham; one member stated an intention to abstain on the Effingham item.
The committee approved routine intergovernmental resolutions to abate part of the 2025 GIS fees for the City of Altamont and the City of Effingham.
Committee members said the county follows the same annual practice each year. For the City of Altamont, the committee approved a one-time abatement as described in the intergovernmental agreement and recorded the motion and vote at the meeting. "We do that every year," a committee member said when introducing the Altamont item. The motion carried.
On the City of Effingham item, one committee member said at the meeting, "Mister chairman, I would like to abstain from this one," and another member likewise indicated an abstention. Committee members discussed the amount in general terms during the item; one speaker described the abatement as "one-third of the fee" and, in discussion, cited a $15,000 figure as one-third of a $45,000 total. The committee approved the Effingham intergovernmental agreement and recorded the motion as carried.
These actions are routine annual intergovernmental agreements administered by the county clerk's office and do not create new policy changes. The committee did not discuss any substantive revision to the GIS program or fee schedule at this meeting.
