AGENDA ITEM
Regular Board of Trustees Meeting
of
February 12, 2019
SUBJECT: Approval of Amended Geographic Information System Consortium (GISC)
Membership Agreement
FROM: Jim Fox, Information Technology Director
BUDGET SOURCE/BUDGET IMPACT: N/A
RECOMMENDED MOTION: I move that the Village Board approve Ordinance 2019-GIS-
AG-S-1560 amending the Membership Agreement with the Geographic Information System
Consortium (GISC).
HISTORY:
At the November 15, 2018 GIS Consortium Board of Directors meeting, the Directors
unanimously approved amendments to the Membership Agreement for a Geographic Information
System Consortium document. The changes to the membership agreement are minimal to create
consistency between the agreement and the consortium by-laws.
The Membership Agreement for the GISC has traditionally been executed by a community upon
joining the GIS Consortium. The purpose of the agreement is to establish an intergovernmental
partnership for GIS services between member communities. The Consortium itself is governed
by by-laws established by all of the members. While the by-laws have been periodically updated
to reflect the changes and growth of the consortium, the membership agreement has never been
updated. As such, a review of the membership agreement was done this year to ensure that it is
consistent with the by-laws and with all member communities.
Changes include; amending the shortened name of the Consortium from GISCon to GISC and
amending the Officers to reflect the creation of an Executive Board of Directors as approved in
2017 by the GISC Board of Directors.
RECOMMENDATION:
Village staff recommends that the Village Board approve Ordinance 2019-GIS-AG-S-1560
amending the Membership Agreement with the Geographic Information System Consortium
(GISC).
