NSPS VIRTUAL TOWNHALL - UPDATING THE DAVIS-BACON AND RELATED ACTS REGULATIONS
NSPS will be hosting a virtual town hall on Tuesday, May 10th at 4PM ET/3PM CT/2PM MT/1PM PT regarding the proposed changes to the Davis-Bacon Act. These changes would include surveying to be considered “labor” and thus subject to prevailing wage requirements. Click here for the specific pages from the proposed act dealing with the changes for the surveying profession. Join us as John Palatiello and JB Byrd, NSPS Legislative Representatives, will be on hand to discuss the proposed changes and answer your questions.

BLUELINE MACHINE NEEDED
Dare County is looking for a "blueline" machine, the "old school" printer of the past. It makes copies using chemically treated paper that burns off under a fluorescent light bulb. Dare County still uses one for some of its historic photo/map/aerial needs. They have a Repro Tech 900 purchased in 2002 but it has stopped working and they cannot find anyone to repair it.
If you have one of these machines and would like to sell it or if you know someone who may be able to repair theirs, please call Robin Etheridge, Dare County Land Records Manager, at 252-475-5962 or robe@darenc.com.
