ITEM
#2 – CONSIDER APPROVAL OF A RECOMMENDATION TO ENTER INTO AN AGREEMENT WITH
COLOR IMPRESSIONS, INC. TO PRINT BUTLER COUNTY MAPS
Pam Dunham, Butler County GIS Director, came before the Board for

$550-$825 for added layout services.
The Capitol Improvements line item has $10,000 earmarked for 2006
digital ortho photos. GIS does not plan
on flying digital orthos; therefore new county maps would be an excellent use
of the money.
