Commissioners approve application to state GIS grant for 911 datasets
Summary
Henry County commissioners approved staff—s request to apply for a state grant to update 911-critical GIS datasets; the county plans to seek $21,500 and use a consultant to perform the work if funded.
Henry County commissioners voted to allow county staff to apply for a state grant to update 911-critical geographic information system (GIS) datasets.
A county staff member asked the board to approve submitting an application to the NEI Geographic Information Council (as referenced in the meeting) for $21,500 to fund work on the county's 911-critical GIS datasets. The staff member said the grant is open to counties only and that the program is awarding funds monthly through January 2025; the county aims to apply now to be considered for the February grant round. The staff member said, "I'm asking for 21,500, and I'm going with a consulting firm to do the work for us."
Commissioners asked whether the county would need to contribute matching dollars; staff replied the county would not need to provide funds if awarded. A motion to approve submission of the application was made, seconded and approved by voice vote; the clerk recorded the motion as "Motion carries 3, 0." The staff member said the county will remain in the applicant pool if not selected immediately.
The application approval allows staff to proceed with the grant submission and, if awarded, to contract with the proposed consultant to complete the GIS work.
