there is an additional $650.00 fee for the tractors. The difference was $6,429.90 and they paid $3,337.00 so $3,092.90 were the only tax dollars that were lost on all of the vehicles.

Discussion has been held regarding moving the flight schedule up and the city has up agreed to come u with half of the costs. She stated that there are dollars in the budget to 9 cover the costs of the previous flight but if they do move forward the board would have to budget for the additional costs for the new flight. The fees for the change finder have to be paid up front. They would fly in April and deliver the product at the end of June. Ziola noted that there could be a potential $11,000.00 discount on the proposed 2013 flight. Arnold noted that the total cost would be about $83,000.00 and expressed concern that it may be costing more to do this and questioned if there is any savings. Schuppan clarified if there was a flight this year then there would not be another flight until 2016. Mr. Sherlock stated that each flight costs about $80,000.00 and Arnold questioned if the costs are spread over 5 or 6 years he has a concern that the county is not saving money. Pelland stated that they do not have information out side of the city limits and in the villages. Even though they are finding additional value the revenue generated from the additional value would not cover the cost of the flights. Quandt questioned what other counties are using this and Pelland stated Buffalo and Adams County are having flights done. Arnold stated that if the city is prepared to pay 50% that may be to our advantage. Pelland stated that her staff has done as much of the fieldwork as possible. Lancaster stated that they work hard but they just need the numbers on paper. Pelland stressed that she needs to know if there is a commitment from the board because the flights will start in late March or April and Hall County will need to get on the flight schedule. Discussion was held and Arnold suggested that go to the GIS committee and talk to the city about a contract. Lancaster stated that the committee needs to work through this and be cautious about the dollars. Arnold questioned if this could be an interlocal agreement.
