Discuss, consider and take appropriate action on approving a US Geological Survey - Validation of Proposed Funding Partners in relation to the Central Texas High Resolution Lidar project that is being coordinated with the Texas Water Development Board.

The Commissioners Court approved in the FY 17 Budget $275k for the FY 17 LiDAR project in line item 4150.  TWDB is coordinating the High Resolution Lidar Project and conducted an RFP, which has been completed. The costs came in significantly lower than was anticipated.  The Validation of Proposed Funding Partners is required by USGS as a part of the 3DEP grant.  The Validation of Proposed Funding Partners is to show the USGS that the county, in good faith, is committed to funding its portion of the project.
