Natrona County GIS reports Esri license renewal, imagery reflight and NextGen 9‑1‑1 readiness work

Summary
Regional GIS staff said the county will renew its Esri enterprise license agreement at a higher tier to cover more than 316 internal users, described a reflight and quality‑control process for 2025 imagery, and nominated the county for a NextGen 9‑1‑1 data readiness check.
Denise Westcott, regional GIS administrator, told the board the county's GIS program has expanded and that staff are preparing for software and data‑delivery milestones.
"We will be renewing our ELA with Esri. This is a 3 year contract, that expires in February," Westcott said, adding that growth to more than 316 internal users would likely move the county up a licensing tier. She said Esri supports core enterprise systems such as Spillman, 9‑1‑1 and OpenData and that the renewal will reflect the GIS program's expansion.
Westcott described quality‑control work on aerial imagery captured in 2025, noting EagleView performed a reflight after the vendor identified accuracy issues at the mountain base and is handling color correction at its cost. She said the deliverables are in third‑party quality control and will be released for public use after completion.
On NextGen 9‑1‑1, Westcott said the county has nominated Natrona County to go through a third‑party data readiness check (DATAMARK) and that a recently passed bill at the state level will fund a statewide NextGen implementation study. "We will be in this for quite some time, but the goal is to stay ahead," she said.
Commissioners thanked GIS staff for the program and asked about flight cycles; Westcott said orthophotography is collected every five years and elevation data every 10 years, with the next flight expected in 2030 under the current cycle.
