We will add appropriate new construction to the rolls. •We expect an increase in BOE appeals due to the drop in sales. Preparing appeal responses and inspecting property will involve a substantial amount of appraisers' time. •We will continue providing support and some auditing functions for the benefit assessment districts (FFPA, Clean Water, Noxious Weed, Septic, Drainage District, Conservation District) in 2026, so that their fee assessments are applied according to appropriate criteria including exemptions. •We will further advance the County's GIS system with enhancements and parcel fabric integration. •Work with IT to upgrade the hardware/software for the PACS data and web servers in order to stay current with system support requirements. •Address the parcels in current use and timber programs in order to have better tracking of documentation and compliance. Improve upon the assessment system for current use so that it is more in line with expectations (farm rates, PBRS criteria). -). . .• �- • • • .. \· • • . . ••• • • • •• • . • • • • •/• • • • • I • • ••• • • • ' • • • • • • • • . . • • •• • •• /• • - � t,.----r- 0 ·� '•• • " I •\. •·'___ ,.ct ----• - • ,. ·( - -• . • .. . � -• -. .• •. . . • . . •. - • ..

We integrate into dozens of 3rd party platforms (GIS, CAMA, CAD (dispatch), etc). Can integrate both oblique and orthos/mosaics via APIs. • Public-facing license. • Image Service (EagleView hosting of orthomosaics via WMS, WMTS, TMS). • Early Access viewing of the imagery (within days of capture). • Disaster response program (also viewable within days of capture). • Unlimited viewing of the imagery. • Unlimited users. • SaaS option. • REST feature services. • ConnectExplorer (our platform) and mobile application. • New EV Cloud platform (eventually replacing ConnectExplorer, which I showed you all today). Additionally, a few differentiators from other subscription services on the market: • Custom capture/flexibility with timing (we fly when/where you want). • All resolutions would be available to public (we won’t limit it to a poorer resolution). • Orthomosaics (online and via a physical delivery in whatever formats required by different agencies, no added cost). • Full ownership of orthos/orthomosaics, if desired (you can sell these out). • Local team that works with you from the start (Megan and myself!). • Countywide coverage (if desired). • Added oblique coverage that can be modified at any point. • Everyone in county and cities have access to the imagery. • Overlay GIS data, search, and measure on both orthos and oblique imagery (appraisals directly from desktop, full 360-degree rotational views). • Access to all neighboring county imagery via licensed viewer.
