I had the sense that GIS was missing from Homeland Security discussions in recent meetings. We have created a Homeland Security subcommittee for IT including GIS. Productive meeting. Ryan Lanclos has been appointed GIO. Among other things, GIO will be the Federal coordination point for the state. Hopefully resources will become available after July 1, 2006. Have read and like the MGISAC Strategic Plan. [GIS as an Economic Development tool] [On state IT consolidation] Trying to avoid 16 similar decisions at 16 different cabinet-level agencies. Question from Jeff Schloss about location of GIO within the new organizational chart. Dan: GIS may cross groups. Question from Greg Resz about the GIO becoming a permanent position. Dan: It is my intent in the future to create the GIO position out of FTE savings; this will have to be weighed against all IT needs. [Description of savings through sharing expertise] [Goal of meeting needs through cost-effective, centralized fashion]

Not just coordinating state gov’t activities, but reaching out to local gov’t to try to act as a state. [Opportunity for outside facilitators to assist committee with goals] [Other opportunities to facilitate and assist across all activities] [Relationship between GIO and committee] Business case called for ex-officio membership; currently I am vice-chair. Possibility of resigning as vice-chair; looking to committee for direction. Question from Jeff Schloss about GIO also being an ex-officio member of ITAB? Ryan: yes; yet to be determined. Debbie Briedwell: Dep’t of Agriculture needs to have a voting member on the committee. Ryan: may bring someone else in to represent Ag. Jeff Falter: would like to discuss ex-officio status of GIO. Tony Spicci: is Ryan the GIO or just acting GIO? Dan: he is the GIO. Motion from Steve Marsh to make GIO an ex-officio member. Multiple seconds. Approved by vote.

September minutes on the web site. Motion from Tony Spicci to approve minutes, multiple seconds, approved by vote.

NSGIC Annual conference held recently in Rochester, NY. About 325 attendees, 35 sponsors. Gaining a lot of traction among states, federal, private. Met with multiple Federal agencies. Imagery for the Nation proposal approved by the board at the conference. A lot of support from both Federal and local government. Believe this will move forward. Will not replace NAIP or other specific imagery functions. Information on Imagery for the Nation available on the NSGIC web site, currently under the Ortho committee; will be linked from the home page soon. Three scales of resolution based on population density. All leaf-off. Would allow states to split expense over three-year period to have a flat budget line item. Discussion of proposal goals. Tony: locals are really happy about this proposal. NSGIC Strategic Plan has been approved. RAMONA (GIS Inventory Tool) is also now official. Both state and local entities can maintain an inventory in RAMONA. Perhaps in the future it will integrate into the Geospatial One Stop. Thirteen states (Missouri included) will pilot RAMONA. Mark D: MSDIS has the NSGIC presentation on RAMONA; could present it at the next meeting, put it on the web site, etc. Tony: Geospatial One Stop version 2 is supposed to go live soon. Google-enabled. NGPO/FGDC/USGS moving forward in an interesting way. NSGIC has received a grant to focus on seeding state strategic plans consistent with the goals of the NSDI and the Fifty-States Initiative. Will create a template of what a good strategic plan is. USGS is funding ten states at approximate $50,000 each. Discussion. Tony: Federal government and FGDC discussion about governance of NSDI coming up; USGS very supportive, some agencies less so. Project Bluebook: USGS/DHS/NGA lessons learned out of Project Homeland; templates, etc. Principles and ideas are good. Anyone involved in Homeland Security should check this out. Tim H: DHS being asked to validate the templates; there will probably be a revision. Data-sharing agreements included. 800 pages; have fun! Tony: met with several agencies about Katrina data availability of HSIP Gold layers. Discussion. Tony: legislation has been passed which will shore up the E-911 centers. Affected E-911 centers have to use GIS and use it effectively.

Covered previously.
