County staff propose centralized permitting software and digitized plats; $62K startup, $35K annual
Summary
Planning staff proposed a county‑wide permitting and plat management system to centralize plats and permits; initial cost is $62,000 with $35,000 annual maintenance, and staff said the program can make plats and supporting documents available across departments and to the public.
Planning and permitting staff presented a county‑wide software package to host plats and permitting records and make them accessible to multiple county departments and the public. The initial implementation cost quoted was $62,000 with an annual maintenance fee of $35,000.
Officials said the system would allow departments to log in and see current plats and could include supporting documentation such as culvert and septic permits. "It would basically allow platting and permitting to have a common software and... see what everybody's doing," the presenter said. Commissioners asked how far back digitization would go and whether ancillary documents could be added; staff proposed starting from current records and adding historical files as resources allow.
The court requested a demonstration for commissioners and directed staff to provide a fuller implementation plan for the budget committee to review.
