4. MGISAC Administration
4.1 Missouri OGI Report — Paul Wright

• ESRI Contract Discussions continue between OA Purchasing and ESRI regarding the terms and conditions of the new contract. We have maintenance coming due and new software purchases awaiting this contract.
• Esri Contract Update Esri has agreed to contract changes and are moving forward with approvals. Contract should be signed soon.
• Server Review and Consolidation The new OGI production server is in operation. DHSS was moved to this new server as part of the consolidation. The old server will be decommissioned after 30 days.
  We have also been adding other organizations to our license manager for concurrent desktop software. We recently added Dept of Mental Health and discussed doing the same with the Dept of Agriculture.
• Internal State Projects
  • Jeff Schloss provided an overview of OGI and OGI services at the ITSD Client Service Managers last month, at the request of Tim Robyn. We have had a number of inquiries about the use of mapping services since that time.
  • A Dept of Mental Health project provides technical support to the division to meet the requirements of the Home and Community Based Services Rule 42 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR).
  • The Dept of Elementary & Secondary Education began a project to provide their School Directory via an online map. It is currently a PDF.
  • The Department of Health & Senior Services (DHSS) has a project to update their Public Health Issue Management System (PHIMS) process. This includes changing related maps from PDF format to online mapping services.
  • For questions I received related to Senate Bill 809, I received an informal reply from Brett Berri and forwarded to Amber Reynolds. The reply was developed by the Missouri Board of Architects, Professional Engineers, Professional Land Surveyors, and Professional Landscape Architects (APEPLSPLA) Attorneys.
  • We continue to work on two online introductory GIS courses, one for managers and the other for technical staff. These would be provided via Moodle software.

Question from Cook about the new contract. Eckmann explained that the contract is for a discount and not a blanket license. Eckmann said that he could help determine whether back maintenance or new licenses would be less expensive.
Wright has not heard anything about money being released for imagery.
4.2 MSDIS report — Mark Duewell

1. GeoPortal: MSDISWEB-MST (Rolla) last Friday was largely successful. A minor issue with FTP has been dealt with and that section of the server will be tested again, hopefully before this weekend. The plan is to make sure MSDISWeb-MST is solid and then replicate the entire server to a new virtual partition (with appropriate changes) for MSDISWeb-TC and eventually MSDISWeb-NN.
2. Broadband “Structures” Project: Final review of the “Structures” project data (for the remaining county, St. Charles) will be completed by Friday COB. With the addition of the Tall Structures data points we’ll be shipping a new data set to the RPCs. Total points for the entire set of “Structures” iterations has now eclipsed 5 million: 5,004,120 in actuality. Footprints came in finally at 276,786. Duewell will present a final report at a future meeting.
   Tim and I presented a show and tell final report at the most recent MACOG Board meeting, November 6th. We received their thanks for the project and offered ours for their staff’s hard work and dedication and the overall partnership.
3. The “Tall Structures” project: There are currently 7 staff and interns working on this project, soon to be fewer. Some student interns will be leaving us as they are finding positions in the geospatial discipline, which is to be expected. There are no plans to replace them as funding for the project winds down. Total tall structures points are at 81,377.
4. The 2007-2009 2’ Imagery: Is now being loaded into the geoportal. A-B files are already in.
5. MSDIS (Mark) presented accessing and downloading the LiDAR data sets currently available at Washington University through both FTP and the MSDIS LiDAR tool at the SEMO LiDAR Workshop, November 5th.

Discussed a state champion for aerial imagery acquisition. Prior satisfaction with piecemeal approach suggests not pursuing difficult statewide project. Mid-Missouri six county leaf-off flight confirmed for spring. Question from Silch about MoDOT participation. Donze explained that they have in the past but generally run solo along their corridors. Donze has received approval to distribute APFO imagery to MSDIS and other state entities. Cook provided URL to public imagery source, http://services.apfo.usda.gov/arcgis/services
