MGISAC Support for a K-12 ESRI Site License—Shannon White
Missouri Geographic Alliance is in support. Need to work with the GIO. Budget situation is not pretty.

July MGISAC Date
Should the July meeting be moved? The GIS training at SEMA will be the same date and time. Discussion. Motion from Mark Allen to move the July meeting to July 1, multiple seconds, approved by vote. Tony will look into meeting space availability.
Subcommittee Reports
Data Development—Ray Fox
Did not meet on Tuesday. Ray was at a meeting in Branson with the Corps of Engineers regarding acquiring imagery and LiDAR around Table Rock Lake. Good representation from local governments. Need to have everything in place by October 1. Discussion. Received Boone Co LiDAR last week. LiDAR stakeholders meeting next Friday at EastWest Gateway. NHD pilot will happen in Missouri.
Finance—Liz Cook
No expenses registered in the last month. Current balance $26,239.58. Outstanding items are NSGIC dues at $2,000, Custom Meeting Planners at $1,260, a workshop, and the US National Grid training. Debbie B: will probably not see any expenses from
Funding & Grants—Mark Duewell
No report
Homeland Security/Emergency Management—Debbie Briedwell
Met Tuesday. Map books moving ahead fine. FEMA interested in the project; they may assist in creating 1:5000 versions for some areas. US National Grid training expanded from 20 to 40 attendees due to interest. SEMA will pay for lodging if attendee lives more than 50 miles away. Money that had been requested for lodging will not be needed but money for break snacks would be appreciated. Subcommittee looking at its own role; expect to hear more in the future. Expecting good data from broadband project. Brian B verifying some data that has been shelved for a while. Motion from David D to provide up to $200 for break snacks for US National Grid training, multiple seconds, approved by vote. Tim H will work with Debbie to use his University card. Ray F has an update of the 2008 Liquefaction data for SEMA.
Local Government Group—Mark Allen
Region A projects moving forward, have seven counties' data, lacking Bates county. Meeting with group on the 25th and with the RSOC on the 30th. Phase 2 will determine where to house the data, sharing agreements, and hardware acquisition (and metadata, Mark D!). Discussion about data sharing. Mark Allen would like volunteers for the Local Government subcommittee to look at the data sharing issue from the MGISAC perspective.
Membership—Tony Spicci
Andy Wagner is now an official MGISAC member. A master letter of new and renewed members is available and will be used for updating terms of membership on the web site.
Outreach & Education—Mark Duewell
Mark passed around the results of the followup survey after the South Central regional workshop. Overall, the results were very good. Break snacks cost $34.32. Once again, unfortunately, there were a number of no-shows which resulted in a lot of extra food at lunch having to be thrown away. Bill to MAGIC will be about $350. SEMO GIS Symposium, June 25th 9-4, coming together without much involvement from us. Mark has volunteered us as a sponsor. Motion from Liz C to provide up to $100 for break snacks for the SEMO GIS Symposium, seconded by Leslie C, approved by vote. Discussion about setting aside money for O&E subcommittee chair to use at his discretion to pay for incidental expenses at events that come up.
Strategic Planning—Eric Foster, Shannon White
Subcommittee (Eric and Shannon) met on June 3rd. Need more participation. Will continue to have phone calls one week before the MGISAC meeting. Strategic planning document needs to be redrafted. Process, flowchart, cycle of reporting, reports and documents all need to be identified.
Missouri GIS Conference—Tony Spicci
Jamie S: talked with Tan-Tar-A about having workshops on one day, conferences on second day. Tan-Tar-A looked at rooms, exhibits/rooms, and food/beverages. Jamie feels that Tan-Tar-A gave us a very fair proposal. We will have to meet all commitments, though, or pay the difference. Forty room nights Sunday, 130 rooms Monday night, which Jamie is a little concerned about. Need to have breakfast, lunch, and a reception. Need to fill the exhibitor hall ($47/booth @ 24 booths). Not much room for error. Feel we need to think about the vendors and the revenue they provide, and the short course revenue, if workshops are not held on Tuesday. Suggest something on Wednesday morning, something to make it worthwhile for the vendors to come. Discussion. Motion from Ray F to hold a conference call next week to recommend a revised conference plan to have Jamie present to Tan-Tar-A, multiple seconds, approved by vote. Tony S: Steve M has volunteered to take over the Missouri GIS Conference; Tony will be stepping aside. Tony will send out a Doodle (a scheduling tool email) to determine the conference call time.
