Fisher Avenue’s construction progress will be broadcast live on camera after the Polk County Board of Commissioners approved the technology rental during this week’s meeting. County Engineer Rich Sanders thought the public might be interested in watching the progress being as there are approximately 5,000 cars that travel on that road per day and the “earth cam” they’ll be using will have a viewing area of 360 degrees plus emergency services could utilize the camera as well.
The rental will cost $18,719.16, and, while District 3 Commissioner Gary Willhite noted it was a lot of money, Sanders reassured the commissioners that the rental company will have the sole responsibility for the camera plus the cost to rent it will come from the project’s budget not local property tax money.
