Local GovernmentSteve Marsh, Gary Mook

Met after MGISAC meeting last month. Gary:EastWestGateway has drafted a technology survey to send all of their local governments (with lots of GIS). 230 municipalities. Steve: Working on a survey to put on MSDIS. Mark Duewell: MSDIS will provide a separate web page for the local government sub-committee. Tony: David is now in the process of converting the website to the state template.

NominationsTom Stokes

There is a link from OIT and will be one from ITAB to MGISAC. Tony: new committee July 1. Nominations open all year. Open nominations will occur at the May meeting. Two-year terms. Jeff Schloss: If Tom doesn’t take the nominations sub-committee, I will. We should get the nominations done tomorrow. Tom Stokes: I am an ex-offico member of this committee. I have no voting privileges. If I chair this subcommittee, I don’t want there to be a perception that I would sway nominations in one way or another. Liz Cook: Because we have delayed approval of by laws, that affects our nomination of locals. Tony Spicci: You can nominate whomever you want. Liz: What is the process? Tony: Send email to nominations sub-committee chair or to Gerry W. directly (if we don’t have a chair). Tom: Where do elections take place? Online? Tony: Officers in a meeting, membersGerry appoints.

Strategic PlanningTony Spicci

I have a rough draft of work plan. I encourage everyone to review this. We want to have as much done as possible by 7-1-04. We are still looking for people to serve on sub-committees. Talk to me or sub-committee chair.

Federal/NRCSLiz Cook

NAIP 04 moving forward. Decision: color. Decision: coverage of state. Does not believe NRCS is participating. CARES and Dep’t of Agriculture asked for a copy of Common Land Units. Farm Service Agency does not understand how the GIS community shares data. Liz would like to see us serve this layer through MSDIS. She would like to see MGISAC coordinate the sharing of this layer. Mark Duewell: could you set up a meeting to discuss this? Liz: yes. Ray: Does the FSA have a coordinator at the State level? Liz: yes. NRCS and FSA have joint offices. Tony: Dep’t of Conservation has budgeted money for cost of producing the 2mDOQsin the non-agricultural counties through 2008. Liz: GIS Day 4/27 message: Local government cost-share potential. They could bump up resolution. Would like to have one contract. If the feds can cover 80%, why not tag onto this. Other thing: county government pilotsagressive Vernon and Hickory county meetings. Steve Marsh and Gary Mook keep in touch with Nathan Mattox (MSDIS) on that. Jeff: motion to draft a letter to FSA to address distribution of common land units. Mark Duewell and Liz Cook will draft. Second by Kevin Kuhlmann. Passed by vote.

Federal/USGSRay Fox

NSDI grants should be announced on or about April 16. Proposals due June 4. Includes section for the National Map so there are grant opportunities. State mapping workshop coming together well; very good speakers. Describing the National Map, how it works, chance to give feedback to the USGS.
