She stated that the GIS committee met with a representative from the city and a representative from pictometry. She reviewed the information on the handout showing the projected costs and the potential savings of$11,621.00. The first year fees are 50% of the cost and have to be paid up front. Mr. Schuppan stated that there would be 5 to 6 thousand dollars in additional cost but with the additional counties that are coming on there may be some discounts. Even if the county does not go ahead with the flight the city is going to proceed. It is important to stay on schedule and in the long run it would be advantages to the county to go ahead. The committee recommended moving forward with the proposed 2013 flight. Arnold stated that he accepts the recommendation and sees the benefits. It would save the city taxpayers and if everyone is on the same schedule as the other counties it will be better.
