2 <br /> <br />Weed Control Progress Report August 2, 2023 <br /> <br />Period from to September 5 to October 2, 2023 submitted by Stan Wolf <br /> <br />New Business: <br /> <br />Drone Remote ID: The FAA has ruled that all UAV (unmanned aerial vehicles) <br />must be capable of broadcasting the location of the drone to others in the area. <br />Remote ID acts like a digital license plate which helps the FAA, law enforcement, <br />and other federal agencies find the control station when a drone appears to be <br />flying in an unsafe manner or where it is not allowed to fly. This rule went into <br />effect on September 16, 2023. Enforcement has been delayed to March 16, <br />2024. Older drones will need a transmitting unit attached to the drone. Several <br />manufacturers are offering units ranging in price from $140.00 to $327.00 with <br />varying effective ranges. Newly manufactured drones are Remote ID compliant. <br />Remote ID units are on backorder due to the large demand. <br /> <br />Proposed Motion: Move to research and purchase an appropriate Remote ID <br />unit for drone. <br /> <br /> <br />NDDA Technology Grant: The North Dakota Department of Agriculture is <br />offering a funding grant to assist counties in updating their GPS/GIS mapping <br />equipment. The Department will fund up to 75% with the maximum grant award <br />of $7,600 for two gps mapping units. Applications are due October 15, priority <br />will be given to applicants who can complete installation by June 30, 2024. I will <br />have current costs at the meeting. <br /> <br />Current gps mapping units are several years old, and it is unknown how much <br />longer they will be supported. <br /> <br />Proposed motion: Move to purchase two gps mapping units. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
