3. Approval of Minutes

4. MGISAC Administration
4.1 Missouri OGI Report — Paul Wright
OGI – sent out yesterday (internal projects, discussion regarding the imagery standards revisions – was sent to Ron Thomas (oversees architecture enterprise)

• Most of the work we have been concentrating on this last month is related to the on-going Google-based and other internal state projects.
• We did review the suggested changes to the Imagery RFP, provided our approval and forwarded that to OA Purchasing on 8/27.

4.2 MSDIS report — Mark Duewell
MSDIS – Imagery metadata is being worked on for the GeoPortal; Structures project (laying off students due to increased progress 6 employees of 24 still working on it) 2M structure points

1. Virtualization of the MSDIS-Imagery Servers and storage space upgrade: We’ve narrowed the solution down but asked for additional items and their costs. The solution we’re discussing will provide for a full back-up solution for MSDIS web and imagery off-site in Rolla. This site will often be in “standby” mode but will be spun up often enough to insure ensure its functionality in case it is called upon to support a specific event. The TC/NN servers will continue in usage but the Imagery side will become another VM partition on the newer web server (we have been utilizing only a small part of its capabilities so far. More details when we have something more solid.
2. GeoPortal: Adding metadata records for imagery and services to the portal: Some services have been added. Progress on this task will be slow until we have the prerequisite staff hours to throw at what is looking like a very large undertaking – depending on how we approach it.
3. Broadband “Structures” Project:
   This project moves forward. Still waiting on MARC to decide how they want to go about the project. East-West Gateway has indicated they wish to complete the CAI survey and “Structures” review under a new agreement and at no cost to the project.
   Structure/Footprint digitizing for MARC is nearly completed in the University first pass. East West has yet to be started. All other RPCs are either nearing University first pass completion or in University review before going out to the RPCs. Some of the early RPCs have started their portion of the review. A number of others are awaiting their training onsite visits. Progress: We’re now at 2,250,228 points as of last Wednesday – and 33,771 footprints completed. 110 counties are complete or mostly completed and under review at the GRC. Most RPCs are well into their CAI surveys – and some are approaching 75% complete.
4. 2013 MAGIC Clearinghouse Summit:
   Jason Hinsen and I attended the Mid-America Geographic Information Consortium’s 2013 Clearinghouse Summit in Bismarck, North Dakota. As usual I felt this is one of the better sources of technical information related to data, services and other clearinghouse activities. The agenda is attached.

6. Committee Reports
6.1 Data Development — Ray Fox
August 26 Meeting:
Twenty people attended meeting where Earl Petit, Contracting Officer answered questions regarding the State Photogrammetric Services Contract. Representatives from the four pre-qualified contractors were also on hand.
Report of meeting along with the other Imagery meeting notes can now all be found at our new website: www.flymoimagery.com
Figure 1 Home Page
Action Items from the August meeting:
The contract can be downloaded at: www.oa.mo.gov/purch. Contract number C213036001(-4).
Earl and Paul to determine what contract deliverables become public domain when a state agency joins in a local/regional consortium using the State Photogrammetric Services contract.
Earl to determine whether non-governmental entities, coops, not for profit, quasi-public, and commercial can join consortiums.
Discussion followed the meeting concerning the lack of State participation and the need for a business case being written for state-wide imagery. MGISAC has authorized $5,000 for the project if the CIO’s office would accept such a document from MGISAC, or should this come from someone within OA?
Missouri Assessors Conference: Anyone going that could speak about the Photogrammetric Services Contract and flymoimagery.com?
Lidar: Work continues on the 2014 collect with NRCS, DNR, USGS and perhaps several local government partners. NRCS has identified NW Missouri as their priority one area, bootheel counties along the Mississippi as priority two, and NE Missouri as priority three. No funding has been allocated to date and time is running out.
Meeting notes on website; FlyMOimagery.com; CIO needs a business case to pursue it at the state; Can that come from MGISAC?; Can Missouri lean on other plans? Tim Haithcoat has a draft (Alabama Imagery program – DPS)
CIO would accept it – either way
Discussion of things like 2 ft all state (local govt, consortia, agencies, and others could buy up into better resolution)
LiDAR for the Nation — Federal initiative (most have a plan in place at regional and state)
Questions of Line Item of the State Budget and 3 year cycle (i.e. Alabama) matching fund with local option
Missouri Assessors Meeting (October 8, 2013 at Lake of the Ozarks, Tan-Tar-A)
LiDAR – 1) NW Missouri; Bootheel along the river; SE Missouri along the river
6.2 Homeland Security — Debbie Briedwell
Meeting with Public Safety; GIS is a hot topic right now in Public Safety
Take away – flow of data during events with Federal, State, Local
Need a List of Key People (who all would potentially be involved in an emergency situation & how do we get it out there and everyone in “the know”); where are the pivot points for GIS in Case Emergency?
Jared Hogan RebuildJoplin.org — as possible presenter for committee
ISSUES: Moving data and print maps become a commodity; communications issues; small screen
6.3 Local Government — Matt Gerike, Melissa Johnson, Jason Warzinik
Greg, Steve, Matt and Jason working on budgetary quote from vendors to give ideas for locals for what to expect and what to look for within the imagery contracting – more explanatory for local government

8. Cooperating Agency/Organization Reports
8.1 NRCS — Liz Cook
No report
8.2 USGS — Ray Fox

• Land Use / Land Cover I spoke with James Falcone, USGS NAWQA GIS specialist (Water Quality program) about the accuracy of GIRAS data (compiled in the 70’s – early 80’s). As I was the Western Region Geographer in charge of the Land Use/Land Cover program (and the last man standing from those days) I provided James with compilation techniques and the QC of the data. James plans on comparing the level 1 classification to their more recent land cover for change detection in ecoregions from the 70’s to today. Interesting side-note, I used to charter Cessna aircraft to field check the land cover, taking 35 mm pictures from the window for use by the compilers. Of course my supervisor in Reston decided he needed to do Hawaii.
• Satellite Imagery Eros Data Center is conducting a study on use of imagery, emaphasizing medium resolution (5-30 meter) satellite. Due to Paperwork Reduction Act they cannot contact nonfederal users, so are asking liaisons to provide state responses.
  • Uses: land use planning, soil, natural resource, flood monitoring, land cover, endangered species habitat, transportation studies.
  • Users: UM-C (MORAP, GRC, CARES), Wash U (Social Work, Geology), ST Louis U (Geology), S&T (Geologic Engineering), NRCS, DOT, SEMA
  • Value of moderate resolution imagery: Good to fair depending on use. Most users require additional data.
  • How to meet unmet needs: More coverage especially for floods including higher resolution radar
  • Anyone that is interested in providing more information please contact me and I can go into more depth.
• Improved US Topo elevation metadata USGS is working to resolve an issue from users on not being able to identify Lidar derived elevation versus those from the older existing data from the quad maps. Due to resources this is currently planned to be addressed in FY 15, but may be moved up if capacity can be found.
