  1. MGISAC Administration

4.1 Missouri OGI Report — Tracy Schloss

  • I will be attending NSGIC as Missouri’s representative.  I may regret having this designation, since apparently it means I have to stand up during roll call and talk a few minutes about Missouri GIS.  I’d like input from the group on what they’d like to showcase.
  • The imagery review is 80% complete.  We have been in conversation with the contract group to work out the details for the new contract.  We’re working with someone new, who originally wanted to either open it up to 10 vendors or alternately limit it to only one.  I visited with several people who were on the committee this last time, and all felt strongly that a short list was still the way to go.  10 is too many and one, too few.
  • Please share your Windows 10 upgrade pitfalls and issues.
    • More non-GIS issues per Melissa.

4.2 MSDIS report — Tom Vogt

  • New image service & Katy trail data this month
  • Executed plan to retire older primary machine in IT at Mizzou. Now running MST hardware in KC. Server will stay in KC. Testing and startup has gone well.

There was not much detailed offered but I was told that once it is official maps of locations of impacted areas will be open to the public. Also in case you would like to know more about FirstNet and how it is designed to work the link below is a 6 minute video description of Frist Net for Ohio but is very similar to Missouri.

    • Spicci – EGIS is ramping up to the vision the organization has for it. Tim Bixler has been heading up the effort and has done a great job. Many new apps for internal use have been developed through a partnership with Mizzou. For instance, creel checks with fisherman and CDW check station with deer hunters in the CWD zone.
    • Schloss – Two GIS vacanciesState IT has a cloud review committee to review cloud applications for the State. ArcGIS Online is being vetted now. They are using a governance document from Minnesota as a starting point. Information on this will be sent to the list serve.
    • Embedding Google maps is no longer allowable without an API key with the new terms and condition. This impacts any new updates to those maps.
    • Vogt – MSDIS is still in talks about the campus data group about being an option for an affordable storage source vs. Amazon storage or other.NTIA just closed a broadband questioning session.
    • Tim H continues search MSDIS funding support.
    • Howell – The guard is / will be hampered by limited funding due to the Continuing Resolution until a federal budget is passed. Last 4th quarter they purchased some new Tremble equipment and software.  Jill – Talk to Buster about this at Jeff City.
