<br /> <br /> STAFF REPORT <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />TO: Mayor Keis and Members of City Council <br /> FROM: Chris Heineman, City Administrator <br /> <br />DATE: October 10, 2018 <br /> <br />RE: Renewal of Joint Powers Agreement for the Ramsey County <br /> Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Users Group <br /> <br /> <br />Attached is a Joint Powers Agreement (JPA) renewing the City of Little Canada’s participation <br />in the Ramsey County Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Users Group for a three year term. <br />The previous JPA covered 2015-2017 and was approved on September 4, 2014. The GIS Users <br />Group is behind in executing a new agreement, however the 2018 fee was paid in February at the <br />previous rate. There are no material changes to the 2018-2020 JPA. <br /> <br />The annual cost of participating in the Ramsey County GIS User Group is currently $984.14. As <br />previously mentioned, this annual fee was utilized for the past four years. Prior to that, the <br />annual fee for participating in this group was $983.94 for 2012-2014. The 2019 dues have not <br />yet been established, but they are unlikely to change significantly. <br /> <br />Both City staff and City Engineer Lee Elfering are able to utilize this information and believe it <br />is a valuable and essential service. Staff recommends approval of the 2018-2020 Joint Powers <br />Agreement for the Ramsey County GIS Users Group as presented.
