Butler County approves Schneider Geospatial agreement to replace mapping system
Summary
The Butler County Board of Supervisors on April 8 approved a professional services agreement with Schneider Geospatial to replace the county's mapping system; the county's IT director said Schneider's Beacon will improve functionality for staff and outside users.
The Butler County Board of Supervisors voted April 8 to approve a professional services agreement with Schneider Geospatial to replace the county's current mapping system.
Sara Trepp, Butler County IT Director, told the board the county has been experiencing ongoing problems with mapping provided through Sidwell/Portico and described Schneider's Beacon product as a means to improve functionality for both in-house staff and external users, including citizens and businesses. On a motion by Supervisor Greg Barnett, seconded by Supervisor Wayne Dralle, the board approved the Schneider Geospatial Professional Services Agreement; the board recorded "all ayes."
The board did not provide additional implementation details during the meeting. Trepp framed the change as an operational improvement for county services and public access. The agreement was approved as part of routine county business and no separate vote tally beyond "all ayes" was recorded in the minutes.
Next steps and timelines for deployment were not specified at the meeting.
