4. MGISAC Administration

 

• OGI Report – Tracy Schloss

Colin Duewell- uninstalling Portal this evening, as it was not configured properly when initially installed. A proper configuration should be done in the next few weeks.

Tracy – there is a new OA commissioner, Jeff Zeller. Discussion about the NG911 proposal.

Wiley – How do we close the communication gap?

• Brian – local psaps are the owners of the data in most cases. Boone is a bit different in that the data originates from outside the PSAP.  Communication should be happening between the local PSAPS and local government entities.  Hopefully communication is happening at the local level.  911 board within local PSAPs.
• Wiley – Foster Communication between local GIS data owners and local PSAPS?
• Brian – Yes, that would be a good place to start.
• Wiley – State agency perspective – 115 different ways that the locals are handling 911 and GIS partnership. Discussion helps to understand the problem.
