Discussion Topics/Presentations
Subcommittee Reports

Data DevelopmentRay Fox
Met Tuesday via teleconference. Covered a lot of material which is described in the 3/8/2011 meeting minutes.

Homeland SecurityDebbie Briedwell
Homeland Security Committee – The HS committee met this Tuesday. The Office of Homeland Security is working on a new project for local responders that will provide Infrastructure data in kml format on a flash drive. The drive will also contain a beta version of Google Earth that can be ran from the drive without loading onto the computer. The group is working on symbology for the data layers and finding the best possible data sources for each layer. This project, along with the mapbook project will all be rolled out at the SEMA conference on May 4th. The data sources for both projects, as well as the Missouri COP, an Internet mapping application, will all come from the same source data housed at SEMA. Training for the USNG was conducted at the Missouri GIS conference, and funding is being sought to create regional training classes and online video training. Missouri has been offered an opportunity to participate the Virtual USA, a DHS program that provides a secure platform for federal, state, local, and private agencies to share data feeds. All states in the New Madrid Seismic Zone area have agreed to work to share data feeds of 7 essential layers for the upcoming earthquake exercise, NLE 2011, through Virtual USA.

Local Government GroupMatt Gerike/Melissa Johnson/Leslie Chamberlin

Very happy with the outcome of the Local Government track at the conference, approximately 40 attendees. Planning to update the County Use of GIS map from 2005 on the web site.

Outreach & EducationMark Duewell
Southwest regional workshop in Branson, April 21. Agenda based on the survey. Southeast regional workshop in Cape Girardeau, June 20. Request for money for break refreshments. Motion from Marsh to designate up to $100 for money for break refreshments for the Southeast Regional Workshop, seconded by Chamberlin. Approved by vote.

Policy & LegislationJoe Clayton
Nothing really to report. Deadline for Senate bills has passed; deadline for House bills is April 1. MSPS Legislative Day, February 22. HB 568/SB 326 Peer Review, HB 402/SB 220 Lein and Statute of Limitations law, SB 368/HB 797 to move surveying from DNR to Agriculture. J Schloss: this could impact future availability of updated GIS data. Discussion.

Strategic PlanningShannon White/Jeff Schloss
Schloss: Somewhat behind, need to schedule the next meeting with White.

Missouri GIS ConferenceTony Spicci
Conference went well. Attendance totalled 200, tied for best attendance. Budget will probably be slightly in the black. Essentially the conference will break even. Survey results are not yet available. Time to begin thinking about 2013, whether we want to hold another conference, and whether we want to change the format. Jeff Schloss would like to wait on any planning decisions until the final budget and survey results are available. Discussion.

Liaison Reports
MAGIC ConsortiumSteve Marsh
First Symposium planning retreat will be April 1-3 in Kansas City.

NSGICTim Haithcoat
Mid-year conference focused on addressing efforts. Census Bureau, USPS, 911 groups involved. Next generation 911 tied in very closely with broadband and GIS. GPS interference from Lightsquared discussed, waiting for decisions from GPS manufacturer testing. USGS Liaison budget issues. Spicci: US GPS Council re: Lightsquared, Census re: Title 13 restrictions regarding public vs. private data, Executive Order re: non-duplication of effort, HUD re: place-based initiatives. Fox: proposal to combine NAD83 and NAVD 88.
