- Approval of Minutes: March minutes available on the web site.
Approved
- MGISAC Administration
4.1 Missouri OGI Report — Tracy Schloss
- ESRI ArcGIS Desktop Basic dropped off the WWT prime vendor contract
- Has Joe Eckmann shared with everyone the fact that World Wide Technologies is apparently dropping ArcGIS Desktop Basic from their contract? Have I? Since WWT is the state’s prime IT vendor, we’ve always had that contract to purchase from. With this product being dropped off, it means we’ll have to get 3 quotes from other 3rd party resellers. I assume that will be the case for others, not just state agencies.
- I don’t see being able to add this to the core ESRI contract, since it is not a sole source product for them. There are other authorized ESRI resellers we could purchase it from. I have brought the situation to the contract group’s attention. I don’t know that they’ll have any suggestions on the easiest way for us to purchase this software moving forward, but it never hurts to ask.
Imagery:
- The review of the imagery contract is in progress. It’s too soon to have an end date. Since the leaves are out, there doesn’t seem to be a rush to get this done. Mostly flights will likely be waiting until fall/winter.
4.2 MSDIS report — Tim Haithcoat
- New Dept of Health files will be hosted, metadata and data
- Received 6 new counties of LiDAR from NRCS, will be going to Wash U
MSDIS support:
- Post budget cuts, looking at 8-10% cut this year and 12% next year. Discussion at the CIO level, but no news yet. Hoping to move MSDIS out of Arts and Science and back to engineering in the Info.
- Tom V has taken another job. Currently looking for replacement. More details coming by June.
- Letters of support to the new President of the University a suggested next step.
- Spicci: Is this time to approach the State with the bigger picture of the committee’s mission and the funding of MSDIS?
- Possibly use the open data initiative as a key reason to support MSDIS
- Possibly pole the clearinghouses of the MAGIC states
- Actions need to be taken in the next few weeks
- Include testimonials from local users

6.1 Data Development — Jason Warzinik
- Warzinik: Imagery / State contract is proceeding.
- Comstock: 2017 LiDAR coordination in process, goal to finish the state with QL2
- SEMA, FEMA, MDC, USFS, USGS, USACE and NRCS have been coordinating FY2017 Lidar acquisition plans. Subject to final funding approvals from each agency, there is a good possibility that the remaining counties in Missouri can be acquired at QL2, including a second generation acquisition for Dent, Wright and Barry that currently have QL4.
- Schrage: NG911: AT&T selected as broadband provider for FirstNet. NG911 webinar next Wednesday, will send link to the listserve
- Warzinik: Mo Address Database is in process of being updated with 1.3m addresses. This will be part of the NAD when it is complete. Hope is to put MoAD up on MSDIS to share and promote requests from locals to update. Start with an internal service for review. The MoAD is a mash up from the partners
- Warzinik: Should we have a UAS whitepaper? The goal is to give the big picture and give a starting place for potential users. General support.
6.2 Education — Shannon White
- Summers@Mizzou Drone Camp for youth ages 12-15 (at the time of camp) has it’s early registration deadline ending May 5. The camp is being held between July 16-20, 2017. More information at: http://4h.missouri.edu/summersmizzou We have more kids in the camp this year than in the past few years!!
- The National Geographic Bee is to be held in Washington, DC on May 19. The Missouri winner from the event held in March was Rohit Rao from Gentry Middle School in Columbia, MO.

Two articles about the Missouri State Geographic Bee are: - The ESRI K-12 GIS contest will be wrapping up at the end of April/Beginning of May. We just received the check Wednesday for the prizes through the partnership with Esri. There are cash prizes for the Middle School and High School state winners. More information can be found at: http://mga.missouri.edu/state-gis-competition
- Giant maps: The Giant floor maps of Missouri have been incredibly popular and are completely booked for NEXT February (2018).

If you want to use one for community outreach, please check the reservations calendar and fill out the forms at: http://mga.missouri.edu/resources
