4. MGISAC Administration
4.1 Missouri OGI Report — Paul Wright

• Aerial Imagery/LiDAR RFP: There were some additional questions on the RFP as to the use of prequalifying consultants. OGI provided additional documentation and the use of prequalification was accepted. Last changes were being made and OA Purchasing is to have the document ready by 12/12/12. This will be given to the Data Development committee for review.
• Google Products and Services: Google continues to utilize much of our time. The hardware and server software installation is complete. Initial bid requests for Natural Resources were posted and returned. None were accepted due to overall cost so OGI is reviewing to identify tasks that can be done internally. A new bid request may go out later to provide some consulting assistance. Public Safety has not moved forward with any projects at this point and DOLIR has an initial application they are working with internal staff.
• Collaboration: OGI will be meeting to develop a GIS collaboration group to provide “oversight” to GIS in the state. We have had some very preliminary discussions with MDC and MODOT about the formation of a committee. OGI will be meeting internally to discuss on 12/14/12.
• RFP draft for imagery completed late yesterday and sent to Fox; a couple pieces remain to be completed.

4.2 MSDIS report — Mark Duewell

1. MOLiDAR has been launched. Public comments so far have been limited but appreciative. The service is available in both LAS: (http://www.msdis.missouri.edu/data/lidar/download/index.html)
   And DEM form: http://www.msdis.missouri.edu/data/lidar/download/modem.html
2. Data in the GeoPortal has been administratively reviewed: duplicates have been removed, naming conventions normalized and additional files added. In addition a new temporary staff member has been added specifically to work with the GeoPortal (this is addition to the 25% FTE we have dedicated already). This is a slow process due to the detail involved but steady progress is now being made. Look for more data to be loaded in the near future.
3. Some staff time has gone to—and will continue to be dedicated to—ramping up the new MSDIS web servers, each of which have 10TB of disk storage available. Again one will be the primary and the other the back-up. Both will be functionally “Failover” ready.
4. A total of 17 students/staff members are now digitizing “Structures” points and footprints. MO-Kan is under final review of the initial pass. Ozarks Foothills (45 counties) is entering final review for same. Kaysinger Basin (7) and South Central Ozarks (7) are in progress – but well along. Sub-contracts are still not finished but we’re told will be forthcoming.
5. EastWest Gateway 6″ imagery is now available as a service here: http://moimagery.missouri.edu/arcgis/rest/services/LGov/EWGateway_6inch/ImageServer
6. Wenbo and Martin will be attending SQL DBA training in January.
