Drum: what should we know about the Jefferson City bridge repairs?
Comstock: have worked for USDA-NRCS in Missouri for 28 years, work in engineering staff, wetland restoration, some other areas.
Carter: have been interfacing with FEMA to help with flood claims. Also state tax commission related to airport openings and closings. Have a lot of people scanning 70 years of records that have been piling up.
Howell: John Platte has moved positions, hope to have the position reposted with a new title by springtime, Analyst or Tech 2.
Gordon: miserable weather for our Modelbuilder class but 7 of us made it and Ken Wilkerson did a great job. May have him back out for Spatial Analyst or other topics.
Balsman: Symposium on September 21st.
Cook: have conservation interests in addition to travel interests. Conservation groups need GIS help so I will continue to dip my toe into the GIS pool.
Silch: Have almost 33 years of Federal experience.
Johnson: Jefferson City has 3 GIS positions open. Cole County web site moving to HTML5. Goes live on February 25th.
Warzinik: Public Works department dug into historical imagery to respond to a question. Got imagery from USDA-FSA which was really good. Bought entire county’s worth of tiles for $2500 per year. Will be at NACO next week. GIS subcommittee will have National Address Database contacts from DOT, Census, 3DEP.
Cook: If imagery predates 1950, those are available from the National Archive. Email carto@nara.gov
