Background and Discussion:

Under these agreements, costs are to be shared by H-GAC and its cost-share participant GDW or H-GAC members.  This Interlocal Agreement will allow HCTRA to share costs with H-GAC for the 2026 aerials captured and allow HCTRA to continue to receive transportation data in the H-GAC area providing an accurate road map that can be used as a location reference and as a source that can be used with HCTRA GIS software to map the location of addresses. The2026 aerials will provide imagery for the County and surrounding Counties.
