Moutlrie County’s move toward an enhanced 911 system will require updated aerial photos of the county.
Public safety chair Arlene Aschermann requested the county proceed with a proposal for Orthophotography for E-911 and Assessment use.
The photos were used primarily for tax assessment purposes in the past. Kevin McReynolds of public safety explained the existing black and white photos of the county were taken in 2003, and more detailed photos are required to complete the E-911 property location section.
McReynolds explained the new larger oblique photos would give a more three dimensional quality for more accurate property location in addition to serving the county’s various GIS needs.
He noted the original aerial shoot for the county cost $119,000 with grant funding assistance. The board approved proceeding on the proposal.
