POLICE DEPARTMENT
Intergovernmental Agreement with Larimer Emergency Telephone Authority
The Larimer Emergency Telephone Authority (LETA) provides the Estes Park Police
Department access to their pictometry imaging system, which utilizes aerial
photography of structures and property throughout the Estes Valley. Emergency
responders can access the database of photographs of specific locations prior to their
arrival on scene, cutting down response times and improving the safety of the
responders. Any upgrades to the pictometry software are the responsibility of
participating agency; however, there are no projections for future budgetary expenses
regarding the use of the pictometry imaging system as LETA has not provided any cost
for the software. The Committee requested any budgetary expenses regarding potential
software upgrades be reported when they become available. The Committee
recommends approval of the IGA between the Police Department and LETA to
provide access to the pictometry imaging system to be included on the March 9,
2010 Town Board Consent Agenda.
REPORTS
