Board of Davis County Commissioners Work Session Minutes
The Board discussed applications for property tax adjustments under the 1347 code, ultimately approving tax refunds for 2023 and 2024 for one applicant while tabling a second application for further review. Additionally, the Board held a work session regarding software licensing challenges, specifically focusing on the significant price increases for ESRI and AutoCAD. Key topics included evaluating potential GIS software alternatives such as consolidating licenses, moving to open-source solutions, or outsourcing GIS work, as well as broader concerns about the long-term sustainability of current commercial software licensing models and the potential for a new cost-recovery strategy for GIS data provided to external entities.
