PECS approves ESRI enterprise extension amid conversation about public-facing maps and 311-style reporting
Summary
The committee approved a change order to the county's ESRI enterprise agreement (three-year extension, contract increase to about $3.9M) and discussed integrating county GIS layers with consumer maps, EagleView imagery and resident reporting tools.
The committee took up a substitute to extend and increase the county's ESRI enterprise agreement (agenda 2026-0802), presented by Director Stacy Greer (CIO). Greer said the three-year enterprise agreement rose from $2.25 million to roughly $3.9 million and described advantages of the county's annual aerial imagery and oblique (EagleView) imagery for operational work.
Commissioner Robert Patrick asked whether district overlays could be integrated into consumer mapping platforms (Apple/Google) so commissioners and residents could use voice navigation to locate district lines. Director Greer said the county's imagery is more current and that GIS can embed KML layers for simple Google-map embeds; commissioners discussed providing embedded maps on commissioner web pages and making EagleView access available to staff for land-use, code compliance and public-safety applications.
Commissioner Terry and others asked about resident-facing reporting (SeeClickFix/311). Greer said the county currently uses Oracle and can evaluate third-party vendors, but cautioned that operational readiness is needed to handle potential high volumes of resident reports. The committee approved the substitute change order to extend the ESRI agreement and asked staff to return with options to embed district layers and evaluate resident reporting tools.
