4.1 Missouri OGI Report – Paul Wright

• Architecture review draft from ESRI was received and reviewed. There were some corrections made and those were forwarded back to ESRI. We should receive a final report in the next few weeks.
• The Redistricting Office will be maintained for a longer period due to further changes required. The current viewers will be left in place until the effort is completed. Kirk Webb is leaving the office and they are seeking a temporary replacement. OGI continues to assist the Office as needed.
• We are reviewing various examples of RFPs in order to develop our own aerial imagery RFP. A number of sources have provided examples which have been very helpful (thanks to all who have provided examples!!). We hope to begin working with OA Purchasing in the next couple of weeks to begin developing the document.
• The Missouri data portal (data.mo.gov) is being populated. Socrata has a mock-up of the site. Datasets are being secured for a first release. No specific date of release has been determined.
• The RFI for an enterprise wide geo-coding solution is being distributed to vendors with a 3 week return deadline (Feb 21, 2012).
• Spoke with Shannon about the next steps on the ESRI Education Program. She is researching some white papers that might directly provide the information that DESE is requesting. This relates to this programs relationship with STEM, etc.

5. Project Update/Action Items
5.1 Web Site — Jason Warzinik
Wright: web site is located at the State Data Center, administered by OGI, with ITSD security monitoring. Request from last month to move web site and/or domain went through channels and was declined. Warzinik described administrative functions that he needs but no longer has access to. Discussion about handling the technical aftermath. Discussion about how this all began. Sentiment fairly negative regarding the State’s handling of the situation. Discussion about where to go from here. Cook summarizes: we accept the current situation with the web site; we are at a watershed with strategic planning, and need everyone’s input; unsure yet if expressing displeasure with sequence of events is needed or worthwhile. Motion from Drum, seconded by Marsh, to redirect money approved last month for production site to instead host a preproduction site. Approved by vote. Motion from Marsh, seconded by Chamberlin, to draft a letter to the OGI expressing frustration with the way the situation was handled. Gerike asked how state members would have to respond to this motion. Discussion. Motion approved by vote with several state representatives abstaining.

4. MGISAC Administration
4.1 Missouri OGI Report – Paul Wright

• Architecture review draft from ESRI should be ready for review on Monday, January 9, 2012.
• Met with Redistricting Office and began to develop new viewers and modify underlying data to make mapping more efficient. We were requested by the Redistricting Office not to make any changes until after mid-January.
• Met with Tony Spicci to discuss LiDAR and the imagery RFP. We discussed some of the overarching technical complications (slow speeds, etc) that Conservation has had and what we can do to assist in resolving those issues in the future. Tony provided us with some information on an RFP from New Jersey related to GIS services. This is close to what we might want to provide for Missouri by adding the aerial imagery service. OGI will discuss this more in early January.
• Identifying data set categories to be set-up initially in SOCRATA. Information related to contacts, etc has been completed and returned to SOCRATA.
• Developed an RFI to get feedback on costs for providing an enterprise wide geo-coding solution. A draft of the RFI was sent to ITSD/Finance for review.
• The next quarterly State Agency GIS (SAG) meeting will be held on Thursday, January 19 in room 500 Truman Bldg from 1-2PM. Debbie Briedwell will give a presentation on this last summer’s work on the flooding and Joplin tornado.
• Met with Shannon White, DESE, eMints and MOREnet to continue discussions on the ESRI education program. DESE requested that we provide some white papers that show how GIS fits and supports the common core courses, STEM and the job outlook. They are generally supportive but have concerns over man-power and future monetary outlays.
• OGI has developed a tri-fold of information that will be provided to Customer Service Managers (CSMs) and others to give them information on the office and the services we can provide. OGI will begin to meet with CSMs in later January and early February.

4.2 MSDIS report – Mark Duewell

• MSDIS Retreat (January 10, 2012) – attended at various times by from 7 to 9 MSDIS & GRC staff members. Staff who attended the morning geoportal issues and procedures session were; Tim Haithcoat Martin Wills, Wenbo Song, Chris Stephens, Shannon White and Mark Duewell. Staff members attending the afternoon planning session also included Charly Clendenning, Daniel Schmidt and Tom Vaughn. In the morning current portal issues were discussed, progress updates given and future directions given. The afternoon session covered technical server discussions, planning to research virtualization again this year or purchasing new server hardware/software – drive storage space – social media as relating to MSDIS – annual ESRI Licensing and statistical reporting.
• The legacy site was removed from the new web site page – parts of the hardware and software are being dismantles preparatory to building the new failover servers to back up the current MSDIS GeoPortal/Imagery Servers on the public side.
• More kinks in the metadata importing process resulted in new contacts with ESRI portal team – however all data with issues and waiting for linking are now in the portal.
• Much planning and discussion is going into the move that will eventually shut down our SDE – making the MSDISData server available for the failover solution and (hopefully – according to ESRI) improve our GeoPortal when we move to the new file geodatabase for cut, clip, zip and ship. A test file geodatabase has been built and populated by files from the currently utilized SDE over the New Year holiday. The FGDB will be updated to reflect current datasets and then tested one of these upcoming weekend evenings.
• In addition – Arnold Williams is reviewing the Python code for cut, clip and zip tool – looking to stop the automatic emailing of the zipped files and instead ship a web link the individual can utilize to download the data via FTP.
• Structures data from the various FGDC/USGS sponsored projects will be going into the new geoportal in the very near future – some of it is there now – making them more widely available to the public.
• In addition – MSDIS staff are working back through previous “Structures” iterations and redefining the “Building General” into more features such as multi-family dwelling, mobile homes etc…

4.3 Treasurer’s report – Leslie Chamberlin
Ending 24,784.26. Paid two expenses, $1,850 to Custom Meeting Planners, $10.13 for domain. Pending expenses: $279.27 for Lake area sponsorship. MAGIC Symposium sponsorship went on credit card, so has not shown up yet.

5.1 Missouri OGI Report Paul Wright

• Current Activities/Accomplishments
  • As of 12/1 Arnold Williams stepped in as the OGI Supervisor.
  • Architecture review interviews were completed Thursday (12/1). This review includes representatives from the consolidated and non-consolidated agencies. We should have a report by early January.
  • OGI will be setting a meeting with Customer Service Managers (CSM) to give them information on the office and services we can provide. I have established a liaison to work with CSMs in identifying and securing OGI services as needed.
  • Provided support to the Redistricting Office on their release of the latest boundaries. There were some server problems on the date of release but we were able to help get the server up. OGI will be overseeing the server and doing some planning on its current and future use.
  • Will be meeting with Tony on 12/13/11 to discuss LiDAR.
  • Working with the web group to provide a data portal similar to the federal data portal (Data.gov). Met with MSDIS on 12/7 to discuss planning.
  • Was to have met on Dec 6 with Matt Hesser to discuss data sharing. Matt requested we delay meeting as they are tied-up with redistricting activities. Trying to reschedule.
  • The first quarterly State Agency GIS (SAG) meeting was held on Thursday, October 20. Had 29 attendees from 7 different agencies. Interest from two agencies for collaborative effort on projects. We will be having another meeting tentatively set for January 19, 2012. We also received interest from the Division of Tourism related to centralization of GIS data for their VisitMO web site.
  • Met with Shannon White and eMINTS to continue discussions on the ESRI education program. We will be setting a meeting with eMINTS, MOREnet and DESE to further discuss a memo of understanding (MOU) in order to move forward.
  • Reviewing questionnaire for the Geographic Support System (GSS; Census) initiative (Support of 2020 census – Improved address coverage; Continual spatial feature updates; Enhanced quality assessment and measurement).
  • Reviewing State of Utah Bid WSCA Cloud Hosting Services; multi-state GIS cloud services RFP.

5.2 MSDIS report Mark Duewell

• Efforts to populate geoportal services are showing some fruit – some web mapping services, documents and other services are now available.
• A document that will assist partners in their submission of metadata to the new geoportal is now available on the site.
• Other minor changes to the User Interface have been completed, for example, on the browse page website has been changed to “download”.
• Waiting on the OGI for a determination on whether to proceed with engaging ESRI under contract to address the data download FTP/Email issue – Arnold Williams (OGI) has graciously agreed to look at the Python code.
• Final Structures Project data review is ongoing at the Mid-Missouri RPC. Final report to be drafted – hopefully next week.

5.3 Treasurers report Leslie Chamberlin
Our ending balance is the same as last month: $26,644.39
The following have been approved for processing:

• Reimbursement to me for the food at the October GIS Symposia: $279.27
  I just received a travel reimbursement form that needs completion. I was told the check would be cut upon its receipt.
• Renewal of our URL for our domain (mgisac.org) $10.13
  I would have thought this was already handled. I have a request in to find out why this has not been processed.
• Invoice to Custom Meeting Planners for Conference Site Selection $1,850.00

I hope to see all on next month’s financial report.
5.4 By-Laws Liz Cook
5.5 Membership report Tony Spicci
No report
6. Project Update/Action Items
6.1 MAGIC Consortium Awards Liz Cook
Candidates discussed and ranked.
6.2 Cadastral Mapping Standards Meeting GIS Subcommittee Representatives
Marsh: General feeling that the group is working with the right document with editing. Now a new document has been introduced which is untenable. Meeting this afternoon at 1:30 p.m.
6.3 2013 Missouri GIS Conference
Addison: Andy Wagner and I met and are on-board with co-chairing and developing the program. For both of us the priority seems to point towards having Jamie (or whoever pleases the Council) lock dates in ASAP. He and I plan to start meeting more regularly after the new year.
Motion from Marsh, seconded by Warzinik, to accept the contract from Custom Meeting Planners for conference planning for the Missouri GIS Conference in 2013.
6.4 Selection of Topic for February Meeting Liz Cook
Call for topics for presentation at February or March meeting. Fox can show the new Missouri US Topo. Cook can show the USDA data gateway and image server. Socrata, MSDIS, data sharing suggested as other topics. Data sharing selected as the March topic. Discussion about changing the format of the meeting. Possibility of all-day quarterly.
7. Round table Discussion
Aaron Addison: I did have a couple of ideas on format change for the meetings. I would like to see the group meet for an entire day every 4th month (3x annually). The idea here is that we could actually break out in to groups and work on an issue more in depth. Perhaps have an in depth speaker or facilitator. I would even be in favor of MGISAC paying for lunch on those days if need be. Having lots of dollars in our bank account is not moving GIS forward for MO. Time to quit fretting over them.
Mark Duewell: The Brandon Recplex has been reserved for a date in April for the perspective LiDAR workshop – a doodle will be set up to determine a date and time to discuss agenda and arrangements with the usual workgroup team consisting of regional locals and MGISAC/MOMAPPERS members. Also a doodle will go out in the near future to discuss the other workshop that Aaron Addison (Washington University) would like to host this in early August.
Debbie Briedwell: No Homeland Security report for this month. Our next meeting will be next Tuesday, December 13th from 10 a.m. – 12 p.m. at SEMA in the Governor’s Conference Room.
Shannon White: No activity for Strategic Planning in November due to schedule.
Ray Fox: Data Development meeting here at 1:00 p.m. MoGrand project coming along.
Leslie Chamberlin: lots on the way.
Melissa Johnson: Lightsquared has begun image advertising.
Andy Wagner: St. Louis imagery from 2010 is now in the public domain.
Josie Bock: GIS education expanding locally.
Steve Marsh: MARC imagery contract is on track. Data sharing woes.
Amber Reynolds: MAGIC Symposium session abstract submission deadline extended to January 6.
Tony Spicci: Lightsquared announcing that their testing shows that their network does not interfere with GPS. More to come on the NSGIC blog.
Liz Cook: USDA has a 248TB server for data, hoping the days of mailing hard drives around are numbered.

  • Developing a ‘maps of interest’ site for maps developed by K-20, other. Use as a draw to the site. If you have suggestions of what we might display there, let us know.
  • Enterprise Architecture Review – gathering survey information back from state departments which will help to determine where we need to be. ESRI will provides a few days of face-to-face meetings with other selected state entities to get details from those who might not utilize GIS services at this point. They will then develop a plan of what our architecture should be in order to support current and future demands. This will also help with determining training plans.

Old minutes continue to be imported. Membership list had recently been updated. Comments were made regarding making the formal switch sooner vs. later, instead of continuing with two sites.

Joplin Tornado Response

There were reports of situations where things worked well and others where things work poorly or even horribly. All agreed that we should use this experience to better prepare for future events. There is great need for high level coordination of volunteers in the geospatial arena. Also needed, is in the field tracking of what buildings have been searched with the ability to log this data on the fly into a GIS / Imagery application. There is a need to have better communication about where aerial imagery could be sourced.

MGISAC Administration

Missouri GIO ReportTim Haithcoat/Paul Wright

Haithcoat: Trying to get Doug Young on the schedule in July. Wright: Enterprise Advantage Program in place with Esri. MSDIS image server bandwidth test occurred a couple weeks ago, results under review. Office now in room 840 of the Truman building. Aerial Survey contract discussions with State Purchasing and Procurement. No update on the cadastral survey. Discussing OGI/GIO effectiveness metrics; would like to discuss at the next meeting. Haithcoat: have added a lot of components to the aerial survey. Requesting any review criteria that have already been written.

MSDIS ReportMark Duewell

Duewell via email: Geoportal: Esri’s second visit accomplished significantly more last week than the first visit. All the major issues that we knew about have been solved – we have a lot of work ahead to populate the data in the portal and then configure the page aesthetics to reflect a closer alignment to the state sites. Look for an announcement to the MGISAC later this month or early next month regarding a beta release to the group followed by a public beta release. Haithcoat: a lot of flooding imagery has been added. Very close to launching the state broadband site.

Cadastral Standard Rulemaking ProcessDarrell Pratte, State Land Surveyor

Recent legislation directs the State Land Surveyor to develop cadastral mapping standards. Three stakeholder meetings are planned, roughly the beginning of June, middle of July, and end of August. Requesting ideas regarding cadastral mapping standards from everyone. Draft review by different disciplines afterward. Would like to avoid dissention during public comment. Discussion about how to get input from all stakeholders. Pratte: the early legwork of the rulemaking process has been done. Wagner: look to Illinois and Iowa; they already have cadastral standards. Further general discussion about the need for and benefits of a standard and how different stakeholders (primarily assessors and surveyors) may react.

Homeland Security/Emergency ManagementDebbie Briedwell

Briedwell via email: Did not meet this month. The MoIMT (Missouri Infrastructure Mapping Tool) which provides a portable Google Earth application with critical infrastructure in KML format, was released last week at the SEMA conference. The County Mapbooks are also now available to download. The State EOC has been activated since Monday April 25 for flooding in the southern portion of the state. Staff at SEMA, DHSS, National Guard, and DNR Water Resource Center have been working to provide GIS support since that time. Besides providing support to State agencies, we have also been providing GIS support to the EMAC in Sikeston, and the EOC in Stoddard County. The International Charter was activated on Thursday April 28th. The IC provides commercial satellite imagery during times of disaster at no charge. Since that time we have acquired LandSat, Quickbird, SPOT, and other imagery. The University of Missouri has set up a secure Image Service to serve this out to SEMA, and HyperSpectral Imagery from the Civil Air Patrol for DNR. A new tool was tested that allows Emergency personnel to upload geotagged photos on a website and they are then provided as a georss feed or kml feed. This has worked very well, with the National Guard, local EMs and the EPA Region 7 taking advantage of the tool. While the SEOC is still activated, we have slowed down considerably as the waters go down. There are still 5 active shelters in the Southeast portion of the state with a total population of 62 as of yesterday. Robinson: still getting requests to host US National Grid training; will discuss at the next committee meeting.
