The surplus of two Tollgate Road buildings to Catholic Charities was approved Thursday, completing the property transfer.
On Thursday, the Harford County Board of Estimates approved the surplus of 605 and 607 Tollgate Road, a site that has been used by the women's shelter Anna's House, to Catholic Charities.
The homes have been run by Catholic Charities but the county is handing over ownership to non-profit, under the condition that it not be sold or put to another use.
Also Thursday, the board also awarded a contract for $88,942 to Pictometry International Corporation for new oblique imagery, which allows objects to be viewed at 45-degree angles.
Randy Cunningham, public safety technology supervisor for the emergency operations division, said the planning and zoning department has already been using such technology, but it is outdated.
The equipment would be used by 911 dispatchers to find people who need help, as well as departments like the state's attorney office and police and fire officials.
The current data is three years old, which Cunningham said is outdated.
County Councilman Jim McMahan said he would have liked to see the purchase wrapped into other information technology items.
"I am very pro getting all this IT stuff under one umbrella rather than everybody doing their own thing," McMahan said.
Also at the meeting, the board awarded a $248,160 contract to Motorola of Schaumburg, Ill., to buy 709 wireless radio flash kits for public safety.
The item is part of an intergovernmental cooperative purchase which Mitch Vocke, technical services manager for emergency operations, said Harford County is taking the lead on this year.
Vocke said the radios will allow for more uniform communication throughout the Baltimore area.
"The goal is to get all radios across the U.S. on the same architectural level," he said.
A contract for $66,012 was awarded to DRC Emergency Services LLC for its oversight of three temporary resident drop-off sites during Hurricane Irene. The sites accepted more than 20,000 cubic yards of storm debris.
