Proposed bills were handed out to the committee. Tony asked the committee to read each bill and respond with any suggestions. Tony has made Gerry Wethington aware of these bills.

USDA proposes to fly 83 counties during summer 2003 (2-meter georeferenced imagery). USDA-NRCS is interested in funding 50% of the cost to enhance the coverage to statewide, 1-meter, ortho-rectified, if costs can be shared. The state needs to fund $315,000 for this to happen.
