  1. MGISAC Administration

4.1 Missouri OGI Report — Tracy Schloss

  • Imagery RFP went out. Due next week.  No state imagery project planned, mainly for agencies and locals.  Short 2 people for reviewing the responses.  Looking for volunteers, contact Tracy or Arnold.
    • There is interest in collecting imagery in the future, but funding and partnerships have not yet been established. Past frequency has been ~10 years
    • Discussion of the data development committee should meet and make recommendation for frequency of state imagery
    • State structure initiative could be a driving cause
    • OGI can assist with the coordination
  • ESRI contract group is in the process of adding some new things to add things like health checks, jump starts and workshops included in MPA
    • Spicci added at there is a contract out there for GIS services that MDC has used in the past. Having flexibility to choose from a pool of contractors, like the imagery project, is desirable.  With the nature of funding in these times will often cause projects to be last minute and fast track
      • OGI needs specific examples
      • Gerike suggested summarizing past / current projects that have used the state contract. Also suggested asking potential users of contracts to write letters of support for the state contract.
      • Support from State agencies will be key
    • OGI working on governance documentation on using the cloud with strong support from DNR, as well as Briedwell / SEMA.

 

 

4.2 MSDIS report — Tom Vought

  • Deployed NAIP 2016 image service and available for download through ftp (county SIDs)
    • Several have asked for entire dataset loaded on drives
  • Have added last 4 LiDAR deliveries, naming structure re-work, Wash U has the data and it has gone live
  • Schloss asked about creating a service for the entire state leaf-off data
    • Vought will work on setting that up

 

 

4.3 Treasurer’s report — Tim Donze
