3. Approval of Minutes
December minutes available on the web site. Motion to approve from White, seconded by Spicci, approved by vote.
4. MGISAC Administration
4.1 Missouri OGI Report — Paul Wright

• Aerial Imagery/LiDAR RFP – Comments from the Data committee are being reviewed and the RFP updated. This should be the final hurdle to get this on-the-street. Maybe by month’s end?
• State Agency GIS Committee – OGI is working on the development of a new internal state GIS committee that will replace the old SAG. We are in the initial stages of that development and have heard from MODOT and MDC on their interest in participating. One item this group could assist with is the revamping of the State Enterprise Architecture documentation as it relates to GIS. The last updates were from the early 2000s.
• Geo-coding – OGI has provided a justification to the CIO’s Office for pursuing a centralized geo-coding solution. More details as the justification is reviewed and next steps are determined.

4.2 MSDIS report — Mark Duewell

1. GeoPortal: Springfield’s data has been reloaded in the GeoPortal but is now classified by the new ISO categories (like all the other data in the GeoPortal) and soon to be more data from the old “State” FTP folder. Gradually the old “State” folder will be depopulated as files move into the Portal. This will eventually remove duplications and wasted storage space. Louisa Haithcoat is helping out on this project. After two months training she’s handling gradually more intensive maintenance and doing much of the reloading and edits now.
   Her next focus will be improving portal searches (we’re due to hear back from ESRI on some possible customizations of search); in any case Louisa’s moving ahead with making the simpler changes to keywords that will enhance searches for plurals and singulars.
2. New purchases of hardware for MSDIS: A new 2013 solution for web server configuration and improvements to storage (and additional storage) were finalized this week. The purchase has been made. Large amounts of RAM and an additional 10TB of storage are slated for delivery in the early spring. This will also be our first experience with hosting virtual servers ourselves (with the assistance of DOIT).
3. Broadband Structures Project: A quarterly report for the Structures portion of the larger Broadband project is currently being put together and will likely be available for inclusion in the next MSDIS biannual report. Sub-contracts are still not available.

Reminder – MOLiDAR – has been launched. Public comments are always welcome.

The service is available in both LAS: (http://www.msdis.missouri.edu/data/lidar/download/index.html)
And DEM form: http://www.msdis.missouri.edu/data/lidar/download/modem.html

5. Project Updates/Action Items
5.1 Geographic Data and Open Records — Christopher Dunn
Chris is currently a MU Law School Student. Chris requested that the minutes show that he is not an attorney and not licensed to practice law. Read his presentation here. Discussion. Motion from Drum to provide funds to Dunn to attend the upcoming Geospatial Data Licensing Workshop. Friendly amendment from Marsh to provide funds not to exceed $400. Friendly amendment from Haithcoat requiring a report summarizing the workshop. Motion passed by vote.
5.2 2013 Missouri GIS Conference — Andy Wagner, Aaron Addison
Addison: still need 81 room nights in order to meet room block. Registration numbers (72) are slightly behind 2011 numbers, but there are a significant number of speakers who have not yet registered. Discussion about how to reach out to additional potential registrants. Fourteen exhibitors registered with a few pending; expecting twenty. Short course numbers are low but coming along. Courses with low numbers will be reevaluated for cancellation beginning February 1. Site visit numbers are also low. Discussion about continuing to provide transportation versus having people drive themselves (unresolved). Discussion about consolidating site visits with insufficient registrants. Date of consolidation will depend on discussion with transportation company. February MGISAC meeting cancelled as it is only four days before the Missouri GIS Conference.
