Union County staff flag assessor/GIS costs, storage buildings and parking tied to building project
Summary
Commissioners reviewed assessor GIS migration costs (recurring $6,700 and a one-time $12,000 fee), discussed two storage-building requests and parking improvements tied to a demolition, and agreed to revisit building-related capital later in the budget cycle.
Union County commissioners heard requests from the assessor's office and public-works staff about GIS and facility projects and agreed to defer some building-related spending.
The assessor's GIS account carries a recurring charge cited in the discussion at $6,700; staff also identified a one-time migration or implementation charge of about $12,000 for the first year. Participants noted those recurring assessor GIS charges may be paid from the assessor's account and therefore might not count against the central list of general requests.
Separately, staff described two storage-building requests and a planned demolition of a house tied to parking improvements and salt storage. Commissioners indicated the demolition was already planned and agreed the site would require gravel or base work to avoid a mess; several members said they were inclined to defer large building projects and the heavy roller purchase until later to preserve available funds.
No formal action to approve facility spending was recorded in the transcript. Commissioners asked staff to include the assessor GIS costs and storage-building requests in the package so they could see the totals and decide at the final posting.
