Calvert County's Department of Technology Services approved a multi-year contract for geographic information system aerial imagery, the board heard Jan. 28.
Unidentified Speaker said the flyover imagery will be used countywide by multiple departments and will be available to citizens, enabling measurements for building heights, tower sites, water and sewer planning, and steep-slope analysis. The synopsis noted the imagery is comparable to widely available public tools such as Google Earth.
The presenter anticipated privacy questions and relayed a separate clarification from the sheriff's office about vehicle tag-reader data. An email from Major Payne of the sheriff's office, as described at the meeting, stated that “information received from those tags is proprietary and it's not going out,” addressing a citizen concern about public access to tag-reader information.
The synopsis did not detail contract vendor, term lengths or costs; those items were not recorded in the summary provided to the board.
