Written by Rick Amburgey: Some people have been inquiring with the city as to why there are people taking pictures of property in Carlisle.

The answer is simple. The city is updating their records. The city has ZonePro software that allows them to save pictures that correspond to the property information. City Manager Sherry Callahan said several shots are being taken of each property. She added that in some cases city officials may be able to use the photos to answer questions over the phone to give residents an immediate answer without having to physically go to the property.

The photo and records are public records, so residents are permitted to come in and obtain copies. Anyone with questions should call the city at 746-0555.
