3. Approval of Minutes
June 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 RFP1 – The process has been completed and four vendors selected as pre-approved: AeroMetric, Fugro EarthData, Surdex, Woolpert
• Enterprise Server Architecture1 – We are having the information reviewed by ITSD Finance for bill-back purposes.
• Enterprise Architecture Standards1 – Arnold has created an updated draft to the standards that were developed 2003-2004. This will be provided to state agencies and MGISAC to review.
• Google Use Policy1 – Working on a draft use policy based on a federal policy. This will be distributed for comment.

4.2 MSDIS report — Mark Duewell

1. GeoPortal: We are beginning to discuss adding metadata records for imagery and services to the portal. This has been a long outstanding issue that we put off until we felt there had been significant progress on vector side and increased user functionality. Essentially we’ll be reviewing, modifying or creating new metadata for each imagery/service iteration.
2. Virtualization of the MSDIS-Imagery Servers and storage space upgrade: MUs DOIT has provided 3 potential solutions – we’ve asked for a meeting to discuss particulars and answer questions. That meeting will likely be sometime in the next two weeks or so. Two of the solutions virtualized the imagery side – the third solution continued very much in our present configuration but centralized and increased storage. Currently none of the MSDIS staff is much in favor of option#3 – but the meeting will clarify some costs and future expansion.
3. Broadband “Structures” Project: Sub-contracts are being mailed back to the RPCs as the University’s Office of Sponsored Programs signs them. We’re waiting on another date from Steve Marsh to set a meeting of the principals to discuss the project in the MARC region – the original date was not good for either Tim or I since it occurred while we were committed to the MOMAPPERS Conference next week.
   Progress: We’re now at 2,114,316 points as of last Wednesday – and 18,028 footprints completed. 103 counties are complete or partially completed and under review at the GRC. Community Anchor Institutions have been started by some RPCs already.

6. Committee Reports
6.1 Data Development — Ray Fox
Statewide imagery acquisition contract is big discussion point
Set up a working group to determine information and cost – no one from OA in that group

Ray contacted contractors Most were willing to provide cost estimates – Aerometric provided information per square miles, etc

4200, 5300 sq miles in MARC

1000
5000
20,000

Some asked for specific areas (urban area like boone county and a rural area like Reynolds County)

OA can not ask for cost estimates however MGISAC can ask the questions of cost estimates

Ray wrote an article Missouri Mappers newsletters
Call from assessor in Marion county – interested.
RPC’s sharing the information with their members about this.

Agencies moving on LiDAR for NW Missouri (see LiDAR map for location) includes several counties

Brad – from Woolpert — promotional type of materials brought with them and the buy-ups that are possible (examples from IN, OH, ME- included in Maine, published costs — they will provide comparable pricing from Indiana and Ohio for a midwestern state comparison
Materials from their own marketing and communications department
Cost per county published in Indiana (indianaimagery.com) – contract is with State of Indiana which gives a volume discount
QA/QC tools – some hire out through a 3rd party vendor, some use Woolpert tools (i.e. online tools), sometimes it’s another entity (i.e. OH uses Dept of Transportation of QA/QC using Woolpert online tools but the aquisition contract is through the Dept of IT)

Steve – because of the way it’s set up at OA/State Purchasing, there are some local government questions regarding how working with vendors, and the process of picking up and “piggy-backing” on the OA contract.

Difference between putting together for State contract and putting together a project in the state not through

Need to have the ability to collect money to financially, fiscally, etc. CIO office has an account that can roll over year by year (was set up while Tim H. was CIO per Tim H)
The State has to put skin in the game is the overall feeling.

Most counties are on a 2 year cycle, next is State Agencies scheduling

Ray – the committee has approved $5,000 for marketing and how to move forward was discussed.

Estimated costs – help with chicken and egg issues for many areas

In KC area willing to pilot a local buy-up. Another question is whether or not there is an option for MARC to include Kansas Counties.

Resampling being public domain.

Joe – will put some urgency to it with Dept of transportation

ROI – yes, that should be part of the marketing
6.2 Homeland Security — Debbie Briedwell
Glen from Homeland Security – Office is in Jefferson City
– Debbie as CIKR point of reference,
Question about do we know where GIS is in Missouri?
Sunshine laws in Missouri have expired, infrastructure and parts and pieces of that.
Happy to share information with who
ASIP Gold and other

Who has GIS analytics? Do we know in Missouri? Local or national guard
Current training in the state he is not able to funds have been sequestered but Glen wants to know what our needs are.

7.2 National States Geographic Information Council — Paul Wright

• Virtual Caucus1 — A Virtual Caucus Meeting that was held on Thursday, 6/27/13. Agenda:
  1. Congressional AGOL license
  2. MAP-21 opportunities
  3. The right balance for NSGIC between external advocacy and internal support/education
     a. Advocacy Agenda for 2014 – Update v. Rework
  4. Statewide Coordination and Support – What’s Working and What Isn’t
  5. FirstNet News — I was not able to attend due to meeting conflicts but a recording of the meeting can be found on-line.
• Data Quality1 — Danielle Ayan (GA) came across this document. It’s published by the Federal Committee on Statistical Methodology (FCSM) and deals with data quality and ‘fitness for use’ issues that work their way into the authoritative data discussion. This will be put on the Resources Tab of the NSGIC web site for later reference.
• CAP Grants1 — The official word from FGDC on the 2013 CAP grants is that they are waiting for approval. The following is from the President’s FY 2014 Budget.
  

  Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC) Legacy Activities	($1,697,000 /-3 FTE)
  National Geospatial Program	($1,697,000 /-3 FTE)

  In 2014, the USGS proposes to reduce funding for the FGDC. The FGDC would be funded at approximately $3.8 million. At this funding level, the FGDC Office of the Secretariat (OS) would provide support for the Steering Committee, Executive Committee, Coordination Group, and the National Geospatial Advisory Committee and support the Geospatial Line of Business/Federal Geospatial Platform. Support for key initiatives and Office of Management and Budget Circular A-16 components including architecture, the USGS National Spatial Data Clearinghouse network, geospatial standards development, National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI) development and training, metadata program, and some of implementation of the A-16 Supplemental Guidance would continue. The reduction to the FGDC OS would result in a reduced level of staff and capacity to address the balance of the implementation of the A-16 Supplemental Guidance, interagency policy, program, and coordination functions and requirements that would impact the Federal and national geospatial communities. The proposed reduction would eliminate the NSDI Cooperative Agreements Program and cloud computing initiative and significantly reduce International activities. The FGDC is funded through an interagency line of business. As the interagency steward of the program USGS funds the Office of the Secretariat. This reduction will eliminate funding for lower priority activities that have been historically provided by the Office.
