State GIO Discussion—Ryan Lanclos
ESRI licensing still being pursued. Several agencies are coming up on renewal date. Have not seen anything from ESRI. Probably going to have to renew contracts again for another year. Still looking for Project Gallery submissions. Submission outline. Please have in by January 17. Agencies particularly invited, but anyone can contribute. January 19 presentation to Homeland Security Advisory Committee. Briefing for HSAC to understand state and national initiatives. Would like to tie each initiative back to a person with contact information. Would like to have Homeland Security subcommittee meet next Tuesday or Wednesday to finalize presentation for Thursday. Surdex officer legal issues leave questions about contracting and purchasing. MGISAC booth and brochure need to be updated by the MAGIC conference. David D: would like to see project gallery items on booth. Biggest problem is getting new text. Ryan: Imagery for the Nation four-page brief coming out soon.

Motion to approve by Tony Spicci, multiple seconds, approved by vote.
Subcommittee Reports
By-laws—Jeff Falter
Updated copy issued, but only nine days before the meeting. Approval will wait until next month.
Data Development—Ray Fox/Jeff Schloss
Survey out to locals; interest in different layers. Meeting on the 24th. Nathan M: ten mail-in responses, 25 web responses. Second National Hydrography Data Stewardship meeting February 6 to include the Forest Service. At some point the state will have control over changes to NHD. Jim L: may I have a copy of the survey? Didn't get one. Nathan M: survey went out through the RPCs. Discussion about sending survey to RPCs versus directly to Local Governments. Ray F: will follow up with RPCs with poor response from Local Governments. Discussion.
Outreach & Education—Mark Duewell
Active first month. Communication and Training and Certification subcommittees have been incorporated into O&E. Much of subcommittee business needs to take place on the web site or by telephone. Vision and Mission drafts being collected on the web site. Bobbie Sue Koelling will update brochure. David Drum will update booth. Agree with idea of using GIO project gallery content on booth and brochure. Need to be done with initial work by mid-month in time for MAGIC Symposium. Question from Jim L about audience for brochure. Jim L: need to show Local Government participation. Mark D: Melissa Lanclos chairing mini-conferences; will work with cooperating groups. First mini-conference in Northeast (Pam K host). David D: wiki wiki wiki Tony S: about one year out from next MO GIS Conference. Taking nominations or self-nominations for chairs.

Motion withdrawn.
GIS Data Policy & Legislation—Tony Spicci
Federal side: FLAIR act appears dead. No other federal legislation that impacts geospatial. State side: 850 bills have been prefiles. Have not seen anything that relates to geospatial. Anyone know of anything? Nathan M: heard through the grapevine that someone was trying to resurrect regional planning bill. Discussion.
GIT Architecture—Tim Haithcoat
Federal geospatial profile available. Pretty much finished with Missouri Data Dictionary. Being reveiwed by Architecture domain, then to ITAB. Survey out on geocoding and address cleansing. 12 state agencies and 2 outside agencies responded. Interest to create an enterprise geocoding solution. Pitney Bowes and ArcGIS mentioned.
Homeland Security—Tim Haithcoat
Meeting Tuesday or Wednesday afternoon next week to review slides of HSAC presentation. Would like to meet at a regular time each month. Steve M: Blue Springs school district has started a local security initiative. Their situation is complex because they include three cities, unincorporated area plus four fire districts. Steve M presented geospatial to them recently. Tim H: HSAC "regionalizing" outreach by Highway Patrol troop districts. Steve M: also work that MAGIC is doing. Steve M/Ryan L discussion.
Local Government Group—Steve Marsh/Greg Resz
Just gave you the local side of Homeland Security. MARC should get assessment back from PBS&J soon about data assets and needs. Local Government meeting after Strategic Planning lunch meeting. Submitted Strategic Planning Work Plan comments. Five primary goals and objectives:
- Improving web content
- Developing relationships with other entities
- Provide content to Local Governments (white papers, powerpoints)
- Agreement templates for data sharing
- Maintain regional meetings
MARC is about to sign ortho and oblique imagery agreements. Cost for county will be $75/sq. mi. or $120,000 less than three years ago. Discussion. Discussion of holding main meeting at different locations around the state. Ryan L would like to hear from state agencies with travel difficulties.
Nominations—Terry Libbert

Will meet over lunch today. Sent out email with schedule of subcommittee meetings through January 2007. Draft of Work Plan on wiki. Motion to have 2005-2007 Work Plan. Multiple seconds. Discussion about how annual report would be affected. Approved by vote. Would like subcommittee chairs to articulate purpose of their subcommittee in a statement of purpose. Ryan L: NSGIC doing something similar, could possibly use their governance templates. Tony S: explanation of NSGIC governance process. Seems to be working well. Pam K: not clear about role of GIO within MGISAC, would like to clarify that in the Strategic Plan and the Work Plan. Added two subcommittees for discussion: Funding and Grants and Interstate Coordination. Explanation. Send comments to Pam K or just edit the web page.

NSGIC—Tony Spicci
Imagery for the Nation shopped around quite a bit; lot of changes; final document should be ready this week. Unofficial information: Alaska: 2.5m for most of state; nationwide 1-meter 3-year cycle; 1-foot color leaf-off east of Mississippi plus urban west; 6-inch leaf-off for urban, etc. Buy-up built into program. Total annual cost $118 million. Believe we are getting traction. NSGIC partners, vendors, MAPPS support. Pam K: buy-up at state level only? Tony S: no, though that would simplify the program. Explanation of health of proposal, how legislation will gain support and move forward. Lots of money in different federal budgets already, idea is to streamline that under Imagery for the Nation. Discussion. CAP grant for Strategic Planning out; EPA throwing in an additional $50,000 to fund an additional (eleventh) state. Hoping to do something with Title 13 and Census Bureau. Mid-year coming up March 19-23 in Annapolis, MD. Been working with National Highway Transportation Agency on next generation E911: mobile, VoIP.
MSDIS Activites—Mark Duewell
Quarterly report up or up soon. Finished last year's CAP grant, 2006 metadata grant in process. Flood review underway. Going to Howard Co. this month. Met with USGS in December about CAP, metadata training. Supporting MAGIC conference planning. Mark D now authorized to teach Intro to ArcGIS 2. Nathan M: Extension education effort on geospatial technologies and community mapping. Four model projects: DHSS healthy communities—recreational opportunities for youth; disaster preparedness (shelters); agritourism resources; water quality. Event in March; lots of participants. Will develop ten person teams in each region, will then repeat this training regionally. Looking for volunteers—call Nathan M. Mark D: Martin Wills hired a student to assist with web development. Jim L: question about mailing list problems. Jeff S: question about "missing" layers on MSDIS. Discussion about efficacy of MSDIS QC'ing all data posted. Nathan M: CLU data ready to be picked up from NRCS.
Round Table Discussion
Tony S: MDC working on Taum Sauk reservoir breach. Will share as appropriate. Hired new GIS Specialist. Still moving forward on enterprise GIS implementation.
Pam K: Possibility of enterprise state GIS for smaller entities that could not host it themselves.
Ryan L: This would fit exactly with emergency response GIS in HSAC
Steve M: Have two positions open: GIS developer and GIS specialist. Want to discuss overlap between O&E and LG.
Doug vK: Tele Atlas. Centerlines and addressing.
Jeff S: FIPS55 retired?
Tim H: Yes, they are going to use GNIS. All in the Architecture document.
Ryan L: Look at http://oa.mo.gov/itsd/cio/architecture/domains/information/CC-DM-PlaceCodeTable.doc reachable from http://oa.mo.gov/itsd/cio/architecture/domains/information/standards.htm
Jeff S: RPC boundaries changed; is there a data steward for this?
Mark D: Jim Harlan is going to create one.
Melissa L: I have that information at my office.
Jeff S: what do people do for smaller municipalities' boundaries? anything besides Census?
Tracy S: I use State GNIS.
Tim H: State demographer review coming.
Pam K: Who is going to be notified about this?
Tim H: Trickle-down. Federal funding is tied to this, so there is usually good response to this.
Tracy S: Have 6 million addresses in Oracle; using Address Broker product, but have city limit issues (St. Louis vs. Bellfontaine Neighbors)
Arnold W: Have new roads CD, 70% of highways will match NAIP. Everything will be GPS'ed by next year.
