MGISAC Administration
State GIO Report—Tim Haithcoat
Broadband mapping award has been announced. $1.5 million for mapping, $470,000 for planning. Partnering with GeoDecisions (and CBG) and the University. NTIA has not released new timelines; one could infer that the first deliverable is due November 1. Expecting a new timeline. Will be working on point-based address issues. Hoping money will be matched by local government entities. MACOG Directors meeting was last week; asked for input and who has point-based addresses. A dedicated web site with map information, etc. will be set up for a public audience. Planning portion will begin with an IT Summit to determine broadband infrastructure, etc. Will also be working with RPCs to develop regional technology plans.
Have met with new CIO Doug Young, very supportive of including local government entities, geo-enabling all state databases.
Andy W: what is the incentive for broadband providers to provide data? Tim: varies from provider to provider. This is a national issue, but we have a lot of rural blocks that may show as having broadband when it is not the case. Debbie B: how does point-based addressing help get broadband to unserved areas? Tim: improve granularity from the census block level to actual dwellings. Discussion. Tim H: $800,000 is set aside as four years of grant money.

November 13th Meeting on Standards and Senate Bill 621—Tim Haithcoat
Minutes were sent out to the MGISAC mailing list. The bill has been prefiled and should be referred to SB621. The language of the bill has only had a few minor changes from last year's language. Have been asked to submit a separate bill to establish a Cadastral Board for a variety of reasons. Discussion.

Funding & Grants—Pam Kelrick, Tony Spicci, Mark Duewell
Mark D: may write a CAP grant. Have been asked to assist other states writing their first CAP grants.
Homeland Security/Emergency Management—Debbie Briedwell
Met on Tuesday; tried out web conferencing, which worked well. Looking at integrating GIS into wide-area searches. Looking at developing a symbol set that can be used across clients (ArcPad, Google Earth, etc.). Have the ten county New Madrid earthquake zone data. Working with neighboring states (KS, IA, VA) on sharing similar tools.
Local Government Group—Mark Allen
Have been approved for $50K for RSOC. Working with region F on cooperative GIS, looking toward a joint region A and F regional workshop.
Outreach & Education—Mark Duewell
Planning a regional workshop in or near West Plains for the south central portion of the state. Still gauging interest, looking to borrow from the Rural GIS summit. Does not appear to be much GIS in that portion of the state. Working on verifying remaining MAGIC grant funds; believe they could fund two more regional workshops. Ray F: looking at setting up a program at MS&T.

Jeff S: will western Missouri county mosaics be updated? Mark: as Wenbo has time. Ray F: have an inquiry from someone who requires uncompressed imagery; should I direct him to the USDA?
