Nawrocki and Members of City Council CC: Sam Azad, City Manager VIA: Gina Dutcher, City Clerk FROM: Lori Pinz, Director of Information Technology SUBJECT: AN ORDINANCE APPROVING AN AMENDMENT TO THE INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY COOPERATION AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF PUEBLO, A MUNICIPAL CORPORATION, AND PUEBLO COUNTY, COLORADO, RELATED TO THE EXCHANGE OF GEOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION SYSTEM (GIS) DATA SUMMARY: Attached is the Amendment to the Information Technology Cooperation Agreement between the City of Pueblo and Pueblo County establishing joint sharing of Geographical Information System (GIS) data for the betterment of each organization. PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION: The Information Technology Cooperation Agreement (ITCA) was approved by Council and signed on April 7, 2014. Partial termination of Section I of the ITCA was approved by Council, signed, and delivered to the County on March 27, 2017. BACKGROUND: The City of Pueblo and Pueblo County Information Technology Departments have cooperated on technology projects for over a decade. On April 7, 2014, both parties entered into the Information Technology Cooperation Agreement (ITCA) outlining our shared products and services along with associated responsibilities. On March 27, 2017, Section I, Subsection A of the ITCA was partially terminated pursuant to Section IV, Subsection A of the ITCA, due to licensing model changes made by the mapping software vendor Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI). The licensing changes eliminated both party’s ability to have a shared GIS environment. The City of Pueblo was required to purchase its own licensing and establish its own GIS. However, for the betterment of both parties, the City of Pueblo and Pueblo County would like to continue to share their respective GIS data. This amendment to the ITCA will establish the parameters and responsibilities related to the City’s continued cooperation and data sharing needs. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: None. BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: None. STAKEHOLDER PROCESS: City of Pueblo Information Technology Department Pueblo County Information Technology Department ALTERNATIVES: If City Council does not approve this Ordinance, the Amendment will not take effect. The City and County will continue to share data, as much as possible, but will have no agreement in place defining each party’s responsibilities and financial costs related to the shared data. RECOMMENDATION: Approval of the Ordinance. Attachments: Amendment to the Information Technology Cooperation Agreement
