(DRCOG), the aerial photography of the Weld County portion of the redefined Metropolitan Planning
Organization (MPO)area will be$5,000.00. He stated the photography will be on a one-foot scale, rather
than the three-foot scale previously used;therefore,the picture quality will be improved. He further stated,
in addition to this area, he is also proposing purchasing aerial photography for all of the high growth areas
in Weld County for$95,355.00 through DRCOG, which is substantially less expensive than obtaining the
photography through other available options. He stated the first aerial photographs will be taken in the
next two to three weeks, before the new growth on the trees and foliage appears. In response to
Commissioner Rademacher, Mr. Warden stated the money for the aerial photography will come from the
General Fund, and there is $120,000.00 budgeted for GIS to perform the aerial photography this year.

scheduled to take place this year. Commissioner Garcia moved to approve said agreement and authorize
