Potter County approves multiple contracts, including Esri GIS subscription and CDBG administrative agreement

Potter County Commissioners approved a package of contracts during their meeting, including a community development block grant administrative agreement, an Esri enterprise license, courthouse fire monitoring and several human‑services contracts.

Will Hunt, joining by phone to represent Cal Log, said the administrative agreement with CITICOG for the FY2025 community development block grant covers a project totaling $40,800; Hunt said that amount is slightly higher than past projects because environmental impacts were identified and that the project supports a booster component in the Gilton area. The board approved the agreement by motion and voice vote.

The commissioners also approved a contract with Davis Ulmer Fire Protection for fire monitoring at the Potter County Courthouse through July 2027 for an annual amount given in the transcript as $375. The board approved a three‑year Esri small‑government enterprise subscription with a yearly fee recorded at $30,200 and a term listed from July 2026 through July 2029. Will Hunt described Esri as the developer of the county’s GIS programming and said the agreement provides licensing and advanced tools used for parcel data, disaster recovery and grant monitoring.

In a single consent motion the board approved several contracts with Potter County Human Services: coordinated transportation services for the aging department, an agreement related to a Northern Tier children’s home, a service listed in the transcript as “Health Bridal Plus” (spelling unclear), and two rental agreements with Cabinet Investments. The commissioners took the human services contracts as a package and approved them by voice vote.

All contracts were approved without extended debate during the meeting.

The county’s chair closed the items and the board moved on to other business.
