Sellersburg council adopts interlocal agreement for aerial photography services

The Town of Sellersburg council on Nov. 10 adopted Ordinance 2025-OR-023 at second reading, authorizing the town to enter an interlocal agreement for the joint purchase of aerial photography services to support GIS mapping.

The ordinance, described by the presiding officer as a continuation of a service the town has used annually, grants authority to the town council president or town manager to execute the interlocal agreement. The ordinance language specifies that it becomes effective upon affirmative signatures of a majority of the council.

Council members supported the measure at second reading. "We've been using this year after year," a council speaker said during the discussion. The ordinance passed by voice vote; no recorded roll-call tally was read into the meeting minutes.

Town staff and the council indicated the aerial imagery is intended to support municipal mapping and planning work and will be procured jointly with partner jurisdictions under the interlocal agreement.
