Missouri GIO ReportTim Haithcoat

Submitted continuation of Broadband Mapping to NTIA. Planning IT Summit, hopefully this fall. Second request covers years 3-5, includes rural addressing component. Believe funding will be $4.6m. Setting up a state Broadband office. Working on an advanced consulting agreement with ESRI. Open Records and local government geospatial data being looked at by several different entities. Solution may require legislative action. Discussion.

Outreach & EducationMark Duewell

Six MGISAC members attended the MMA conference. Thought it was their best meeting ever. Attendance was down, however. Hit a lot of topics head-on: sunshine law, National Grid, mobile GIS. Seeking direction from the committee regarding the next regional workshop. Have had several invitiations but had tentatively agreed to go back to the West Central area first. Tri-Lakes is another good option. GIS activity in the north portion of the state is way down due to personnel changes. The hardest part is getting a location and a date. Discussion.

Looking for someone else to chair this subcommittee. Discussion. Shannon White and Jeff Schloss will now serve as co-chairs. Shannon: have reviewed existing material. Would like to have a 3-5 year strategic plan for the committee with annual work plans from the subcommittees. Expecting to conduct a SWOT analysis. Hold a teleconference the Thursday before the MGISAC meeting. Jeff S: will also focus on preparing the annual report for the CIO. Discussion.
