A. ESRI Enterprise Licensing Agreement (ELA) Renewal
2
Eric Stuber opened the discussion regarding the ESRI ELA by asking if everyone had time
to review the 4 models sent via email on September 19, 2023 to all members and if there
were any initial comments or questions.
Rick Windhorst stated that he was having second thoughts on the model he suggested we
consider (Model 3 – Utility Sharing model) as it negatively impacts Joint Sewer Agency
by raising their share of the fees 246%.
In addition, Rick suggested we could eliminate model 4 (Adjustment model) as an option
due to the fact that it is not based on any set metrics.
A question was raised by Josh Webb on which model aligns most with where the ESRI
ELA is headed in the future; given that there is a major push by ESRI to move people to
ArcGIS Online.
Eric Stuber stated that the ArcGIS Online (AGOL) metrics are all based on storage and
editing/analysis. That leads him to believe that model 2 (GIS FTE plus Servers) is the most
aligned with where ESRI is heading as what we will likely be charged for in the future is
storage, analysis, and editing. All of those items are directly attributed to GIS
editors/analysts on staff at each organization and servers that generate content to be stored
in AGOL.
Model 2 does, however, raise the City’s share of fees considerably as they also pay for
McCracken County and E911’s fees as required by the GIS Maintenance agreements in
place with both entities.
Eric brought up that he budgeted for an increase but not as much of an increase as model 2
calls for.
Nathan Bradley suggested we use some of the consortium fees to offset this year’s renewal
so it does not negatively impact the City and future years can be added to the budget.
As this is outside of the scope of the meeting, Eric suggested we discuss this at the
December regularly called meeting.
B. Motion to Adopt ESRI ELA Fee Share
A motion was made by Nathan Bradley to adopt model 2 (GIS FTE plus Servers) as the fee
share for the next 3-year term. The $68,000 total ESRI ELA fee will be split as follows:
Paducah Power $16,753
City of Paducah $23,301
Joint Sewer Agency $4,188
Paducah Water $14,430
McCracken County $1,866
E911 $7,462

Rick Windhorst seconded and the motion carried.

seconded by Josh Webb and the motion carried. The meeting was adjourned.
