3. Approval of Prior Meeting Minutes – Chair
Motion to approve September minutes by Melissa, Seconded by Buster. (with amendments – detail of any edits)
4. MGISAC Administration
4.1 OGI Report – Tracy Schloss
GIS day Open House planning – email thru listserv. November 15th, 1pm – 4pm; Truman Building in the Big Auditorium.
6-8 tables; plenty of space remaining. Networking opportunity and a lot of fun.
DED Broadband position open. Vacancy New Support for Fire Marshall’s office. Requires some experience using Survey 123 and workforce.
4.2 MSDIS Report – Tom Vought
A metric ton of updates: DNR/MDC. Added 3 new pages to hub site/open data site. 2 sites are in parody. Contacts, monthly report, jobs page.
Image server switched last Thursday. (old 10.4 server buggy last week). We are as migrated as we can be at this point.
emergency/natural disasters datasets not on the server. Map server and main website are next. Everything has been replicated.
4.3 Treasurer’s Report – Chris Barnett
Balance $18,557.31.
We have had one expense, a reimbursement of $621.62 to Nathan Mattox for expenses incurred in support of the SEMO GIS Symposium in September.
This leaves the balance in the account at $18,557.31.
4.4 Membership Report – Wiley Howell
34 total members (no change) with no vacancy, the membership list will soon be refreshed and sent out. Quorum 18.
Website ancient and needs love. 2 survey 123’s for membership updates: Auto-magic way. One is for members, the other for participating non-members.
Organization/Agency is already a member; routine business to swap out the representative.
Hesitate to lock in a “recipe” for membership, we don’t want to raise the cost of entry. 6 months active participation, for new members and agencies is good guideline.
4.5 By-Laws Report – Colin Duewell
Possible adding to by-laws as a guideline. “membership committee” page updated 3 years ago.
What do we do if we need a letter of support from MGISAC? If we have a deadline prior to the next meeting, do we allow chair to put out a letter of support?
WH: We have a chair for a reason. If it’s not outlined in the by-laws, they should have that authority.
TS: We trust in the chair, if unsure, then discuss with council.
NM: If we aren’t obligating finances, it should be fine.
Chair should report back, there is an implied degree of transparency there.

6.4 Outreach – Dan Rose
nothing to report.
6.5 Marketing and Communication – Chris Barnett
Chris Barnett: Conference Planning:
I made inquiries into the possibility of offering continuing education unit (CEU) credits for conference attendees – my email chain is attached.
To summarize the CEU approach, we would need to partner with an academic unit at MU that would approve our program, there would need to be academic merit,
we would need to assess participant learning, there would be a $5 fee per student, and credits are earned at 0.1 points per hour of participation.
There are two alternatives to CEUs. First, I’ve been told that Extension would support a certificate that could be provided for recognition of their participation.
It would not have academic merit, just a participation certificate that might look nice on the wall. Perhaps not what we want to do.
Second, MU is launching an Alternative Digital Credential program that is targeted at learning outside the traditional classroom setting and recognizes
both credit and non-credit learning. The recipient is awarded a micro-credential (AKA Badge) for their activity. We would still need to involve an on-campus partner,
but I think MSDIS or CARES could support the ADC as non-academic campus units. While the policy does not address a fee, I was told to assume there would be a fee
similar to the CEU $5 per recipient charge. The recipient would have a certified digital ‘Badge’ that they can put on their resume, LinkedIn, etc. To be clear,
this is a new program, so we may experience ‘growing pains’ with this approach.
