For example, in the read_dbf_and_groupby_sum() function, we're just creating a dataframe out of the shapefile anyways, so why not just use geopandas directly
sf = shapefile.Reader(dbf_file_path)
# Extract fields and records from the DBF file
fields = [x[0] for x in sf.fields][1:]
records = sf.records()
# Create a DataFrame using the extracted data
df = pd.DataFrame(columns=fields, data=records)
