4.1 Missouri OGI Report Paul Wright

• Current Activities/Accomplishments
  • We have filled our GIS Specialist position. As of 11/16 Arnold Williams will become a member of the OGI staff.
  • Met with 3 interns (2 from MU and 1 from UCM) to do some tasks on geospatial coding. We will be looking at how data is provided to them and how data will be returned. We will also be tracking time spent and a periodic report of progress.
  • We have requested a proclamation from the Governor for GIS Day which is November 16.
  • Working with DNR, ITSD/DNR to provide GIS services for SSO/Bypass and ePermitting projects. We are looking at how we can utilize ESRI templates for both projects. We might use some EAP credits for ESRI assistance with implementing those services.
  • Working with the Web Development group to revamp the Map Community Interest area of the mo.gov page. Looking at a product (Socrata) used by the federal government and other states to provide this functionality. Targeting 11/31/11 to have in production.
  • From the general survey the top items requested were training and data sharing. We will be:
    • Contacting those who submitted the surveys to get more details of the type of training needed; see if we can provide assistance.
    • Contacted Matt Hesser to set-up a meeting with the Budget Director to discuss data sharing and the sunshine law. Meeting scheduled for 12/6/11.
  • Research and develop geo-coding solutions within state governmental orgs. Getting more and more requests to provide assistance in the area of geo-coding.
  • Continuing to research and develop procedures and best practices for OGI.
• Coordination Activities
  • New quarterly SAG meeting was held Thursday, October 20. We had 29 attendees. A few surveys were returned and we did get contacted to review a possible project with SOS related to their election systems.
  • Met with the MGISAC strategic planning committee to discuss strategies and goals. Also discussed by-law changes.
  • Working with the Missouri Geography Alliance (MGA) to develop their strategic plan. Through the MGA we can help promote geography and GIS throughout the state.
  • Presented at the Lake Regional Symposium on 10/24.
