Commission approves $12,674 GIS contract and $3,167 desktop for appraiser
Summary
Commissioners approved a $12,674 purchase order to restore Aumentum GIS services and a $3,167.08 desktop purchase for the appraiser's office; staff said subscription revenue will offset some costs and the GIS data will be updated weekly once migrated.
The county's appraiser staff said the GIS service provided by Aumentum (also referenced as Omentum in initial outreach) had fallen behind and an annual invoice for $12,674 was issued for the current year; the board approved a purchase order to restore the service and resume parcel and sales-data updates.
The appraiser's office also requested a new desktop workstation and the commission approved the purchase up to $3,167.08 from the appraiser’s contractual fund. Staff said the restored GIS service will allow subscription letters to be sent to previous subscribers and that weekly updates will follow migration of current sales and ownership data.
Why it matters: Accurate GIS and sales data supports tax assessment, permitting and public access to parcel data. Restoring the service brings the appraiser's public access tools back online and enables staff to begin collecting subscription revenue again.
What’s next: Appraiser staff will complete data uploads and negotiate final purchase-order pricing where possible; commissioners approved the PO and the desktop purchase as requested.
