CCRPC presented an updated technical assistance policy: assistance under 12 hours remains included in dues; assistance over 12 hours will be charged $60 per hour, rising to $70 per hour in July 2025. CCRPC also proposed a $120 per year per map service fee for hosted web map cloud storage starting July 2025.

Melanie Needle, GIS Data and IT Manager, told the PAC that CCRPC updated its technical assistance policy. Needle said that technical assistance below 12 hours will remain included in member dues, while assistance above 12 hours will be billed at $60 per hour. "The rate will increase to $70 an hour starting in July 2025," Needle said. She added that CCRPC is asking for $120 per year per map service for cloud storage required for hosted web maps, effective July 2025.

The PAC discussed the proposed changes; no formal vote on fee adoption occurred at the Dec. 11 meeting, but staff requested that members identify projects that may need technical assistance through June 2025.
