Unfortunately, the IT department has <br />been unsuccessful in filling this seat which has left a gap for GIS <br />support. GIS software developer, Esri, will be pushing out a large <br />update that the IT department will need professional support in <br />implementing from our contracted consultant, Pro-West Association. <br />Mr. Kinney warned the Board that this need for support will lead to <br />an increased price with Pro-West. Commissioner Wright informed Mr. <br />Kinney that other departments have been thinking of hiring their own <br />FT GIS employee and gave advisement to reach out directly to discuss <br />this topic. Chairman Wachsmith moved to approve the request and <br />Commissioner Wright seconded; 2:0. <br /> <br />DISCUSSION Executive Session IT <br /> <br />Commissioner Wright called for an Executive Session for 5 minutes <br />pursuant to RCW 42.30.110(G) at 11:08 a.m. The Executive Session <br />concluded at 11:13 a.m. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
