MSDIS Activities: Tim Haithcoat updated the Committee on the Internet Mapping System request that is to be sent in to the Office of Information Technology as a line item. Mark Duewell brought a point that there should be a frequently asked questions page on MSDIS. Tim stated that work on this has already begun. The Interim CIO for the state is Gerry Wethington a meeting is being planned to demonstrate the IMS capability of the MSDIS data sets. Tim Haithcoat also mentioned that he was going to be hiring a Program Manager for the MSDIS as his time needs to be spent on the pursuit of hisPhD. As well, there is enough activity within the MSDIS to need a full-time manager for the site and its activities. Tim opened the search and interview process to the MGISAC as a subset of the full committee will participate in the interviews for this position. Tim also stated that the MSDIS IMS site was up for review for the MGISAC athttp://msdis-maps.missouri.edu. Tim Haithcoat also entered an idea of creating an MOU with the regional groupMidAmericaGeographic Information Consortium (MAGIC) as a way of formalizing our involvement and shared conferences with them.

Standards Addressing
Tim Haithcoat stated that due to the IMS machine being in the budget this session for funding the addressing piece that was being examined will be pushed back to next year for funding. However, the databases are being compiled for a test of the process for budgeting purposes in both Greene County and Boone County.

Standards Metadata
The metadata documents from Jo Ann Shaw and others will be posted on the web for a review period of 60 days. After this review is completed the package will be sent to the CIO’s office.

MAGIC meeting: The MAGIC meeting is October 13, 2000 in Olathe, KS. A car pool will be done for those wishing to attend this meeting. We are meeting at 6:00 am. at the Conservation Dept.’s Columbia Research Center at 1110 College Ave. Of special note is the Program Planning meeting which is tentatively scheduled for April 26-27, 2001 at the Big Cedar Lodge in southwest Missouri.

GIS Day 2000
Several from the committee did a walk-through of the rotunda for our GIS day event there. Power was checked and seems good. The bad news is that it is a poorly lit area. It was determined to keep the event there this year and see how it goes. As well, the group decided that we should repeat the legislature was in session. The group needs to determine / create a MGISAC logo or symbol for use at this event as well as a brochure on the MGISAC. The following groups are represented currently for the Rotunda event: MSDIS, MDC, MDNR,MdoH,MoDOT, MDED, Springfield, Jefferson City, EMA/FEMA, USGS, and Liberty.
