Klamath County wins ORMAP grant to convert tax‑lot data; Polk County to perform ArcPro conversion work
Summary
The Board approved a $29,100 ORMAP intergovernmental agreement with the Oregon Department of Revenue to convert county tax‑lot/parcels from Esri ArcMap to ArcPro fabric; the county also approved a $17,100 intergovernmental agreement with Polk County to perform the bulk of the work.
Klamath County commissioners on July 15 approved a $29,100 intergovernmental agreement with the Oregon Department of Revenue (ORMAP) to convert county tax‑lot parcel data from Esri ArcMap to Esri ArcPro fabric formatting. The board also approved a $17,100 intergovernmental agreement with Polk County for professional services to perform much of the conversion work.
Don, the county staff member who presented the item, said the funding will help the county migrate data because Esri plans to discontinue ArcMap in 2026. "We need to transfer all our data to the new Esri software, which is ArcPro," Erica from the county GIS team told commissioners. She said public‑facing mapping apps will remain available and will be updated gradually; users should see similar interfaces but with newer functionality.
Polk County will provide the professional services, and staff named Dean Anderson of Polk County as an experienced practitioner who has helped other counties complete similar migrations. The board recorded the ORMAP PO number (1500000049632) in the motion and authorized the chair to sign that intergovernmental agreement.
Commissioner Minty moved to approve the ORMAP agreement; Commissioner Nichols seconded. The board then approved the IGA with Polk County that will direct $17,100 of the ORMAP funds to Polk for the conversion work. The motions were recorded as passed.
County staff said the work will be rolled out slowly, with notice to users before specific public apps are upgraded and assistance available for residents or departments that need help with the transition.
