Commissioners approve $55,998 transfer for Eagle View aerial photography
Summary
The board approved Board Order 2026-8 to transfer $55,998 from the register of deeds tech fund to the equipment reserve to pay the county appraiser's Eagle View aerial photography contract; commissioners said the imagery will reduce field work and noted modern oblique photography and AI use.
The Leavenworth County Board approved Board Order 2026-8 to transfer $55,998 from the Register of Deeds technology fund to the county equipment reserve to cover the county appraiser’s Eagle View aerial photography contract.
The register of deeds explained the transfer lowers general-fund spending for the appraiser’s annual contract. Commissioners asked technical questions about the photography; one commissioner described the product as oblique photography that images property from multiple angles and noted that modern vendors increasingly rely on AI to process imagery. Another commissioner said the tool reduces the need for field staff by enabling remote assessment.
The board moved, seconded and approved the transfer on a unanimous voice vote.
Next steps: Staff will complete the transfer and the appraiser’s office will receive the Eagle View imagery to support property assessments and mapping.
