State GIO Report—Tony Spicci
Imagery for the State progressing well. Project Homeland (DHS/ESRI) envisioned to allow data to move back and forth during an event. Missouri is one of five pilot states. Contact Tim H if you are interested. Description of what is happening in other states by Tim H. Fifty States grant to be discussed in Strategic Planning report. GIS Day went very well, a lot of positive feedback. Spoke with around 20 legislators that day. Thanks to Surdex and ESRI for their support. Will begin work to schedule a date for next year. NSGIC dues have been sent in. Registration for NSGIC conference is open. MOGIS2009: Jamie: Tan-Tar-A, Four Seasons, Holiday Inn, Capitol Plaza. Tan-Tar-A is still the best option due to exhibit hall, though TTA has given away our space on Thursday. Could get two rooms half day in building A. Financially, Thursday workshops were very important in 07. Discussion. Motion from Jim L, second Kevin K to pursue a contract with Tan-Tar-A. Approved by vote.

Met Tuesday, getting third white paper ready, map of covered areas. Lot of interest in buy-up options. Buy-up imagery QC will be the responsibility of the purchasers.

Training coming up for 300/400 level Incident Command System.
Local Government Group—Steve Marsh/Greg Resz
Have adopted an ordinance allowing licensing of data. Ran into a conflict with a requestor; met with AG staff. HB210 would appear to preempt Sunshine Law. Discussion. MGISAC will not be participating in the Southwest Regional Geospatial Workshop at organizers' request. Discussion. Although no vote was taken it was generally agreed that more effort needed to be made regarding communicating with the southwest region and local governments in general.
