Whitley County to contribute $13,333 toward in‑house ArcGIS Enterprise deployment, approval contingent on attorney edits
Summary
GIS coordinator Beverly Perry asked the board to support moving from the ESRI cloud to an in‑house ArcGIS Enterprise system, requesting about $13,333 for implementation, deployment and training; commissioners approved the contribution pending attorney review of contract edits.
Beverly Perry, the county’s GIS coordinator, asked the Whitley County Board of Commissioners to support an ArcGIS Enterprise deployment that would move GIS data from a cloud ESRI account to in‑house servers. "What we're looking at for the GIS department is going to an ArcGIS enterprise," Perry said, explaining that the current cloud account consumes daily credits and moving in‑house would allow the county to protect data behind its firewall.
Perry asked the county to contribute roughly $13,333 toward implementation, deployment and training, including IT training; she said the cost would be divided among three departments. Commissioners indicated support but said the contract needs attorney review and some redline changes before final execution. A motion was made to approve the funding pending the county attorney’s recommended changes, and the board approved by voice vote.
Perry said she will return an updated contract after revisions; commissioners asked the county attorney and finance staff to confirm the final contract language and financial arrangements before payment. The record indicates approval of the funding commitment subject to attorney changes rather than immediate execution of a final contract.
