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 Department requested to opt-out of the existing agreement and enter into a new agreement. The new agreement will allow for annual flyovers of portions of the County 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 Commission Department and is extensively used in the reappraisal process and numerous other County Commission departments. The 2020 Digital Orthophoto Acquisition of the County was last brought forward in December 2019 for a three-year contract with Pictometry.
