Commission considers single-source EagleView aerial-imagery contract to update county photography
Summary
Staff said the county’s aerial photography is outdated and recommended pursuing a contract with EagleView (via Schneider/QPublic) for advanced imagery; a motion was made to authorize the chair to pursue contracting and request funding.
County staff told the commission the county’s aerial imagery is out of date and cited a state finding recommending updated photography. Staff said EagleView, through Schneider and QPublic, appears to be a single-source provider for imagery that can include four-sided or oblique measurements that integrate with the county’s public-record systems.
Mr. Goodman said the vendor has provided estimates for imagery that would allow property measurement from photographs and recommended the county confirm single-source status and request funding from the board of commissioners to place the county on the vendor’s schedule.
A motion to authorize the chair to pursue contracting for the aerial imaging and to request funding was moved during the meeting. The meeting transcript includes the motion but does not record the second or a final roll-call vote in the provided excerpt.
Why it matters: current aerial photography is used for valuation and field review. Updated imagery that integrates with appraisal systems can change how staff validates percent-complete and square footage for properties under construction.
What staff said: Mr. Goodman told the board the state report listed outdated aerial imaging as a finding and that EagleView is likely single-source through Schneider, which would justify direct procurement steps to secure a slot on the vendor’s schedule.
Next steps: staff recommended confirming single-source status and seeking funding from the board of commissioners. No appropriation or contract award appears in the transcript.
