4. MGISAC Administration
4.1 Missouri OGI Report — Paul Wright

• ESRI Contract—The contract was signed on 11/17/14 and made available through SAM II and posted to the Purchasing web site on 11/18/14. The new contract is for 1 year with 3, 1 year extensions. Expiration is 8/31/15.

Internal State Projects

• DESE—School Directory Project—The Department of Elementary & Secondary Education (DESE) is requesting a project to move their School Directory from a PDF format to a mapping service. Much of the basic design is completed but there is some data to be done. We have made some adjustments to the layout for use on mobile devices.
• DMH—Home & Community Based Services (HCBS) Project—The Department of Mental Health (DMH) began a project to develop a mapping service to assist them in identifying those settings requiring on-site review and which could be considered for heightened scrutiny review based on their current location as defined in an HCBS rule. We have much of the basic design completed.
• DHSS—Certificate of Need—DHSS creates maps for their Certificate of Need process. It has been a manual process to create these maps. The ITSD-GIS was asked to help streamline the process. We created a new and cleaner map template and created a toolbar that automated some mapping processes. We walked the user through the new process and it was well received. It was completed on 11/18/14. The user is currently evaluating with a full project in order to provide a time-savings estimate.
• State Tax Commission—I had a visit from the State Tax Commission of Missouri related to data they need for some tax evaluation projects. It was mentioned that there was documentation for a related grant through the Secretary of State, Elections Division (to help provide monies to counties for acquiring GIS software/hardware). This is a grant application that each of the county clerks would fill out. It has not been determined if there are funds currently available.
• Presentations—We have had a number of requests to provide presentations to various groups on the use of GIS. So far we have made presentations to ITSD Project Managers, ITSD Client Service Managers' group, Business Analysts' user group, ITSD Application Developers' users group, and the Department of Mental Health business staff. In December we have a meeting with Agriculture and in January we will be presenting at the Project Management Offices' quarterly meeting.

4.2 MSDIS report — Mark Duewell

1. GeoPortal: MSDISWEB-MST (Rolla) has finally tested out successfully. University network firewall issues caused the necessity of two final tests. Jason H. is busy building out the final few services prior to our cloning the virtual server back to new Imagery-NN and TC servers.
2. 2014 NAIP: The USDA Farm Services Agency Aerial Photography Field Office has released the 2014 National Agricultural Imagery Program photography for the State of Missouri. The imagery map service is here. The county mosaics in MrSID format are here.
3. Broadband “Structures” Project: The final data sets are going up on MSDIS. We have received a number of external data requests for these data already. A complete geodatabase of the data will go up first, then county shapes similar to those we have posted in past iterations. We still plan to add the Tall Structures data points and then shipping a new data set to the RPCs. The total number of points for the entire set of “Structures” iterations is now millions – 5,031,533 in actuality. Footprints came in finally at 276,232. For the 2013-2014 Broadband Structures iteration final numbers are 4,443,174 points and 267,958 footprints. Tim and I presented a show and tell final report at the most recent MACOG Board meeting, November 6th. We received their thanks for the project and offered ours for their staff’s hard work and dedication and the overall partnership.
4. The Broadband “Tall Structures” Project: There are now six staff and interns working on this project. Total tall structures points are at 117,118. A progress graphic is included in the full report, distributed on the mailing list.
5. The 2007-2009 2’ Imagery: This project is on hold until we free up staff time from loading the structures data sets.
6. Outreach: Mark D. presented a quick how-to for accessing Missouri’s publicly available LiDAR data using the MSDIS LiDAR Tool (MOLiDAR) at the Southeast LiDAR Workshop November 5th. He also represented MGISAC and MSDIS\GRC at the Missouri State University GIS Day event in Springfield, November 19th.

Educators learning GIS

• There were over 115 K-12 educators (formal and non-formal) and pre-service teachers attend the Missouri Geographic Alliance fall conference. There were GIS focused labs during each time slot and the computer lab was filled or over-filled throughout the day. In addition, all attendees learned how the St. Louis Federal Reserve uses GIS in their GeoFRED product during the afternoon keynote.
• We had three Missouri educators apply for the weeklong Esri T3G Institute , that I am aware of. The participants, if selected to attend, will be assisted in their airfare to the event: 1 will be funded by the Missouri Geographic Alliance, 2 will be funded through the K-12 revenue generated by GIS workshops for professionals. The 3 educators are a Lindenwood University professor who works with AP Human Geography statewide and teaches geography to pre-service educators, a homeschool mother from Lynn county, and a 4-H Youth Specialist from Boone County.

Geography Awareness Week/GIS Day
We received proclamations of Geography Awareness Week and GIS Day, from the following 59 Missouri entities. They were mailed to every county in Missouri (in some counties they were hand delivered by MGISAC members). We partner with the Missouri Geographic Alliance to enable this awareness building opportunity.
6.5 Outreach — Colin Duewell, Tim Donze
Recently collected survey responses from LiDAR workshop; generally positive. Will be posted to web page. Conference call to be scheduled to discuss topics for next workshop.
