  1. MGISAC Administration
    • OGI Report – We are at the end of the ESRI contract cycle. Time for an update. They are going through the terms and conditions right now. It is also the end of the Imagery contract. State needs people to show interest in using this contract before they will go through the negotiations. Must have State agencies on board to use it in order to continue. There is outside agency interest. It will be a 2-3 contract. July 1, 2019 the interactive sales use map went live. They are still working with DOR about updates and data releases.

4.2 MSDIS Report – I’m pleased to say that we had another excellent month at the clearinghouse.  In addition to our normal data updates, we received a new Licensed Pharmacies dataset from our friends at DHSS, coordinated with the Missouri Census Data Center to launch a Zip Code Tabulation Area lookup tool, and welcomed a new face to the Department of Geography.  Traffic on all three servers continues to be very strong.  Hits on the data download serve dropped back down to normal levels after a spike from last month, the map data server had yet another month of increasing use, and imagery server traffic remained stable at 3.8 million hits.

I’d also like to remind folks that we are in the process of testing out a new homepage for the clearinghouse.  You can preview the possible redesign for the site HERE.  Our goal with this redesign is to emphasize the clearinghouse homepage an access point for all of our distribution platforms rather a than a list of news and updated data. If we adopt this new design as our homepage, the news feed would be moved to a different section of the website. Any feedback or thoughts on these proposed changes would be most welcome and can be emailed to me directly

MSDIS General News

In cooperation with our colleagues at the Missouri Census Data Center, MSDIS has launched a Zip Code Tabulation Area lookup tool. The application features the 2018 ZCTAs from the US Census Bureau TIGER/Line data.

MSDIS is very pleased to welcome Ms. Debbie Cutler to the Department of Geography. Debbie will be taking over for Dina Nichols as the Department’s Administrative Assistant and has already taken it upon herself to type up a very nice article about MSDIS that will be featured in the next Department newsletter and can already be found on the Department’s Facebook page. Likewise, we’d like to thank Dina for her many years of dedication to the Department and we wish her absolutely nothing but the best.
