County staff told the Management & Internal Services Committee the Esri GIS subscription renewal costs $170,000 and will be paid from the GIS operating budget; the committee approved the renewal on staff recommendation.

Mister Blanchard told the Columbia County Management & Internal Services Committee on Jan. 13 that the county is in the next-to-last year of its Esri agreement and requested authorization to pay the subscription renewal. "Cost of the subscription renewal is a $170,000, which will be coming from GIS's operating budget for this year," Blanchard said, and staff recommended approval.

A committee member moved to approve the payment and another seconded; the chair recorded the motion as approved. No roll-call vote was recorded in the transcript.

The renewal was described as an operating-budget expense and part of an ongoing multi-year agreement; no alternative vendors or procurement details were discussed in the meeting.
