County staff presented bids to update GIS imagery and software; a local vendor (Littelligence) proposed a capture fee ($130,000 or $100,000 if paid upfront) and a $10,000-per-month licensing model for up to 50 users; commissioners asked about SPLOST funding and directed staff to bring a proposal to the Oct. 6 vote.

Residents and a county surveyor spent more than an hour laying out why recent GIS updates have shifted property lines in Columbia Township and what must happen next: certified section corners from the state MIN‑Geo project, boundary surveys or quitclaim deeds, and a March deadline to register re‑monumented corners.
