Summary

Council voted to rescind the Astera satellite leak-detection contract and approved using those funds to hire DGR to update the city's GIS maps with a contract not to exceed $10,000, per staff recommendation.

The council voted to rescind a previously approved contract with Astera for satellite overflight leak detection and to reallocate those funds to update the city's GIS maps with DGR for a cost not to exceed $10,000.

Staff told the council that updating GIS maps was a higher priority than the satellite leak-detection work at this time. Council approved a motion to rescind the Astera contract and then approved the DGR quote to complete the GIS update within the $10,000 limit.

No additional implementation schedule or vendor-selection detail was recorded in the meeting transcript; staff indicated the change reflected departmental prioritization of mapping accuracy over remote leak detection.
