BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Previous Commission action/date:
The Baldwin County Commission has maintained a full suite of GIS data dating back to 1996.
Background: The Commission has acquired imagery in four-year intervals since the inception of the digital GIS database system in 1996. Imagery acquisitions have taken place in 1996, 2001, 2005, 2009 and 2013. In January of 2013, the Commission entered into an agreement with Pictometry to acquire imagery in three-year intervals provided funds were budgeted for the future 2016 project. Due to changes in pricing and availability, the Revenue Commission Office requested to opt out of the existing agreement and entered into a new agreement. The new agreement flew portions of the County annually over the next three years in order to maintain current imagery for reappraisal purposes. This data has historically been funded by the Reappraisal Fund (51810.5150.1502) via the Revenue Commissioners office and is extensively used in the reappraisal process and numerous other County Commission departments. Imagery for a portion of the County was last acquired in January 2018 ending the existing three-year contract with Pictometry.
