Waupaca County Land Information Council

Waupaca County Land Information Council meeting, October 10, 2026: The council reviewed the Land Information Office’s GIS work, including support for property assessment, dispatch, highway, zoning, and emergency management. Members discussed the office’s role in Next Generation 911 and the flood-response mapping used to guide evacuations, emergency operations, and damage assessments. The presentation also covered a GIS software licensing transition and related upgrade work; no new software award or procurement approval was made. The county receives state land-information and NG911 funding, including approximately $86,000 last year and an expected $80,000 this year for NG911-related work. The recent high-resolution aerial imagery was supported through grant funding and was described as coming at no additional cost to the county.

The treasurer presented a 2027 budget overview, describing an approximately 6% increase in personal-services costs and a roughly $35,000 GIS-related S3 contract, also up about 6%. The budget included an estimated $70,000 in land-records revenue and $55,000 in grant revenue; these figures were discussed, not presented for approval. The county surveyor will continue providing services for $6,000 per year plus travel expenses, and highway monumentation work is expected to continue, including along Highway 110. The council approved the agenda and prior meeting minutes and later adjourned; no procurement award, spending motion, or budget approval was recorded.
