  Wrap Up

4.2 MSDIS report — Mark Duewell

1. Virtualization of the MSDIS-Imagery Servers and storage space upgrade: We’re testing some Geoportal and other software updates on an offline server preparatory to the purchased equipment arriving on campus.
2. GeoPortal: Adding metadata records for imagery and services to the portal: The entire NAIP 2012 is now available via the geoportal. New record count is 509 (up from 389).
3. GIS Inventory/Data.gov:
   Harvesting of data files within the MSDIS geoportal began October 11th – several additional harvest have been accomplished since as portal numbers increased with the addition of the NAIP files. Records harvested by GIS Inventory are – in turn – passed to Data.gov so effectively we’re being harvested by both entities. Periodic harvests will pick up newer or changed/updated records.
4. Broadband “Structures” Project:
   Mark Duewell presented to STARRS membership at East-West Gateway on October 17th. The presentation’s theme was designed to encourage support and assistance in collecting the CAI survey information by the various participating entities. The remaining limited “structures” student staff are making measured progress in completing the remaining counties of the Southwest RPC and then there is some finishing work in the MARC RPC. East West Gateway awaits still. Greenhills and HSTCC are in final review. Greenhills will likely be scheduled for their on-site training next week.
   Progress: We’re now at 3,482,775 points as of last Wednesday – and 47,285 footprints completed.
   As a side note – a small contract has been negotiated – at MoKan’s request – for MSDIS student staff to digitize and attribute the two MoKan Kansas counties (Atchison and Doniphan) not included in the MO Broadband Structures project (naturally). This is a completely separate effort in both the fiscal and staff time aspects (as it must be). We will be coordinating this effort with the DASC staff (Ken Nelson and Eileen Battles).

Discussion about availability of LiDAR data, how the agreement between MSDIS and WUSTL is functioning, whether there is an MOU or other documentation describing expectations. Meeting will be called to
4.3 Treasurer's report — Liz Cook

4.4 Membership report — Tony Spicci
No one has sought to join or leave the council in the last month.
4.5 By-laws — Debbie Briedwell
No submissions for by-laws changes.
5. Project Updates/Action Items
5.1 GIS Management in Oregon — Cy Smith, Oregon GIO
Presentation Slides Presentation Recording (begins at 34 minutes 30 seconds)
6. Committee Reports
6.1 Data Development — Ray Fox

• Elevation – The 2014 lidar project continues to move forward. NRCS has obligated their money, Memphis Corps is completing its requirements for the bootheel and NE Arkansas area, USGS Geology has verbally committed funds, and pre-proposals for NGS (Geospatial Program) funding are due Nov 22.
• Hydrography – Change in the NHD grant to DNR has been completed. John Madras is now the Principal Investigator replacing Jeff Schloss.
• PLSS – DNR Geological Survey requested PLSS be added to the US Topo maps when next updated in 2015. Doing this requires Missouri to supply the PLSS to BLM and have it accepted in time for US Topo production. Geological Survey has asked that Paul Wright’s group contact BLM and provide the data. Note that USGS will be loading data for Missouri during 2014 and has no control over BLM’s work schedule.
• Imagery – During 2014 USGS will be evolving away from any participation in imagery other than NAIP. This affects USGS liaisons working to develop partnerships on behalf of NGA for the Urban Area Program, and NGTOC in performing QA on high resolution imagery. Ingrid Landgraf is working on documentation to keep Kansas City in the 2014 QA plan, St Louis and Jefferson City will not be in the QA plan. It is still unclear what NGA will do. Due to this decision, a new lead for the state-wide imagery project is needed.

Cook reported a large LiDAR acquisition, everything north of the Missouri river plus the Bootheel, is going well.
6.2 Local Government — Melissa Johnson
Will send budget request for the year to Cook.
6.3 Education — Shannon White
Geography Awareness Week starts next week. GIS Day is next Wednesday. If you are hosting an event, please register it as it will count toward outreach hours required by the Esri site license. Missouri Geographic Alliance conference was last weekend and will plan a student track for next year. Smith: about two dozen Governors have signed the AAG resolution on STEM education, but not Missouri. Related Oregon’s experiences.
6.4 Outreach — Debbie Briedwell
Still looking for a new committee chair. In discussion with people.
6.5 Marketing and Communications — Jason Warzinik
Will send budget request for the year to Cook. Will test out the SmartMeeting service more, though it was running on a mobile device today rather than WiFi.
6.6 Policy and Legislation — Joe Clayton
No report.
6.7 Strategic Planning — Shannon White
Lots to address, will reconvene shortly and try to start small.
7. Liaison Reports
7.1 MAGIC Consortium — Amber Reynolds
Focus remains on the Symposium. Spicci: exhibitor registration is open and online. Booths are first-come, first-served. Attendee registration will open soon, waiting on short courses to be finalized. Call for abstracts is open; looking for more lightning talks (short attention span theater). Nominations will open soon and you are encouraged to nominate someone. Less expensive parking is being negotiated with Union Station. Reynolds: will MGISAC sponsor the MAGIC Symposium? Discussion about different levels and options. Marketing and Communications committee will advance a budget amount and recommendation at a future meeting.
7.2 National States Geographic Information Council — Tony Spicci

• Presentations from recent conference are now online under Conference Archives. Google Docs notes are still online though being filtered by the State’s firewall.
• Developments in drones UAVs UASs. They’re coming—smile for the camera.
• Addressing, privacy, geospatial inventory, lots more.
• Mid-year conference is only four months away.
