Court debates $16,000 GIS/addressing memorandum; decision deferred for clarification

Daniel briefed the fiscal court on a proposed memorandum of agreement with a regional GIS office to support street addressing and mapping updates. He said the request totaled $16,000 but the scope of work was vague and it was unclear whether the regional partner would perform on‑street addressing or only data formatting for state reporting.

Daniel advised caution, noting other counties either perform addressing in‑house or contract with different providers. He told the court he could not recommend approving payment without further clarification of tasks and deliverables. The court agreed to defer action until staff could provide a clearer statement of work and pricing.

No motion to approve funding was taken at the meeting; Daniel said the item would be revisited at a subsequent meeting with additional information.
