GIS lead warns of EagleView licensing costs and parcel‑viewer migration work
Summary
Michelle told commissioners the county’s EagleView licensing is due and that a 2‑inch flyover would cost roughly $148,000 per year (spread over three years); she recommended the county evaluate whether the higher resolution is affordable and noted potential data‑recreation work if legacy files are missing.
Michelle briefed the commission on GIS and the parcel viewer, warning that legacy ArcGIS applications and files may need to be recreated if not recovered from the prior system. She said a new parcel viewer should be available mid‑month and that staying current will make operations easier for future staff. "What that would cost right now would be the $148,000 per year because they spread that over 3 years," Michelle told the board when discussing a 2‑inch EagleView option.
Commissioners asked whether the city previously contributed to the cost; the board recalled a prior instance where the city had not paid a portion it had earlier indicated it would cover. Michelle said the county can still access existing data but that higher resolution or new flyovers would require additional funding. Staff will include the EagleView options in the preliminary tallies for further discussion at a later meeting.
