4. MGISAC Administration
4.1 Missouri OGI Report — Tracy Schloss

  • Imagery Update: Review is approximately 50% complete.
  • ESRI Maintenance: The ESRI Master Purchase Agreement is up at the end of August. OGI has been in regular contact with the contract group for status updates and is hoping to have this resolved soon.
  • Imaging RFP: The Imaging RFP has been submitted to the contract group. This is the same group that deals with both the current Surdex contract and the ESRI maintenance, so there has been no push to move forward on this new contract. Once the other two issues are resolved, this contract will be picked up again.
  • Surdex Contract: The contract has been extended to pay for services rendered through the end of the calendar year. Our 10 reviewers are still working on their areas, but this is time consuming work. The extension to the end of the calendar year is still just to close out the last ½ of the state. It is not intended to be used for any additional flights.
  • Governor’s Cyber Security Conference: It is open, but seats are filling fast. There is a concern that the state will be encrypting geodatabases and other GIS related files, which could be a disruption to current operations. GIS community should be at the table to address any concerns during the planning for these cyber security measures. The Summit is at the Capital Plaza, Jefferson City, on August 30. Registration is filling up fast, so if you have an interest in attending, I suggest you register quickly. http://www.govtech.com/events/Missouri-Governors-Cybersecurity-Summit.html
  • ITSD Information Exchange: This is a forum for new or emerging technologies. The subject for this quarter’s Information Exchange is a presentation on video technology. This topic seems to dovetail into the whole conversation about UAS and georeferenced collection of imagery.

4.2 MSDIS report — Tim Haithcoat

  1. MSDIS budget and ramifications: Questions as to whether the MSDIS is still State sponsored and whether or not it’s funding is still provided by the State.
  2. S&T off site back-up hardware moved to Kansas City and is now operational. It has been updated to the new ArcGIS server software v10.4.1. The upgrade was pretty much without hitch except for some bindings pointing to the old hardware addresses.
  3. Have implemented SSL certificates for our ArcGIS services (https:). With new security change at the State (evidenced by Debbie Briedwell) we are in the process of moving to an SFTP as well as having all links to an SSL (https:) for MSDIS site which is still underway.
  4. MSDIS representation at MAGIC Clearinghouse meeting (August 23-24) will be Tom Vought
  5. We have started internal discussions concerning the development of a new Operational Plan for MSDIS. Initial meetings focused on reducing our HW/SW/Maintenance costs and a possibly less expensive back-up solution through working with UM System IT and its large disk storage procurement.

MSDIS Achievements for July 2016

  1. Lidar download updated to include Andrew, Atchison, Boone (2015 update), Buchanan, Clinton, Clark, DeKalb, Grundy, Holt, Knox, Lewis, Mercer, Nodaway, Pike, Ray, Schuyler, Scotland, Shelby.
  2. MoDOT July 2016 roads added to Geoportal and Map service added to Web Mapping Services.
  3. 23 St Charles county layers added to Geoportal – Address Points, Ambulance Districts, Building Footprints, Council Districts, Fire Districts, Land Use, Municipalities, Parcels, Parks, Police Response Districts, Railways, Road Centerlines, Major Road Centerlines, School Districts, Subdivisions, Voting Districts, Water Bodies, Water Course Major Area, Water Course Minor Area, Water Course Major Lines, Water Course Minor Lines, Zip Codes, Zoning Areas
  4. Expecting new large Lidar delivery from NRCS shortly.
  5. Eliminated non-statewide data layers from Clip and Download tool in order to improve MSDIS management efficiencies. All data are still available for download and they remain searchable.

4.4 Membership report — Tony Spicci
This was Shelly Silch’s last MGISAC meeting. She will be replaced by David Nail, the current USGS representative from Kentucky. The hope is that David will be moving to MO, but he will be representing four states (IN, IL, KY & MO). Tim Haithcoat will be replacing Mark Duewell.

LiDAR: MDC, USFS, and SEMA working together to find funding. MDC does not have any dedicated funds, but will see what is possible once costs are determined. St. Clair County will be delayed because a small area was missed due to flooding.

Partners can access information about the Grant for Lidar Acquisition at: http://nationalmap.gov/3DEP/BAAReferenceMaterials.html and the actual grant can be accessed at: http://www.grants.gov/search-grants.html?agencyCode%3DDO . Partners can also use a web-tool called “Seasketch” to enter their Areas of Interest for Lidar at: http://www.seasketch.org/#projecthomepage/5272840f6ec5f42d210016e4 . There is a YouTube video being made to better explain how to use Seasketch.
