Explanation

The purpose of this legislation is to authorize the Director of Public Utilities to enter into an agreement with Woolpert Inc. to provide the Division of Sewerage and Drainage, GIS Section with Digital Ortho-imagery services in accordance with a contract with the State of Ohio, CSP#0A1078.
