Council approves one-year trial of GIS mapping system with vendor setup and training
Summary
Somerset approved a one-year trial of a GIS mapping system; the vendor will handle setup and training and the city would pay modest fees if it continues after the trial.
The Somerset City Council voted to pilot a geographic information system (GIS) for one year, with vendor-provided setup and staff training during the trial.
Presenters told the council the vendor would perform the mapping work and provide training for the city on how to use the system and build work modules. After the first year, the vendors pricing discussed in the packet included a $400 per-user fee and a $100 annual licensing fee if the city continued with the product. Council members said the vendors setup would shoulder the heavy mapping work and make the system easier for city staff to adopt.
A motion to approve a one-year trial passed on a voice vote. The council asked staff to return after the trial with feedback from system users and any recommended changes before committing to ongoing fees.
