CommunicationsDavid Drum

New site page template still needs to be modified to resemble the state home page more closely, progressing as possible. Still no contributions from agencies toward data acquisition schedule.

Data DevelopmentJo Ann Shaw, Ray Fox

Ray: no report; nothing till after the MAGIC conference.

Education and OutreachRyan Lanclos

JimLaScalahas resigned from the subcommittee. Ryan: GIS Day at the Capitol (April 27th) participant entry has slowed. Question about vendor participation: should they be the last to be accepted, to allow room for maximum number of non-commercial participants? The other group scheduled in the Rotunda is only there half the day. No internet access. Tables will be an issue; bring yours if you have any. Trying to finalize plans by 3/1. Presentation time is 9 a.m. – 4 p.m.; no word about when we can get in to set up (Debbie indicated 7 a.m.). Moving equipment is up to us. Discussion. Discussion about the boothneed to update to target audience. Discussion about the brochure; same concern. Ryan, Jim, David, Debbie, Bobbie Sue, Jeff H will work up new content.

GIS Data PolicyGreg Dorge, Tim Haithcoat

Greg will try to gather samples from other states, individual departments and try to put together a booklet that adopts parts of the materials in use. Tim has talking points, pieces that need to be covered (maintenance, hosting, tracking, access, etc.). Greg: how does liability statement fit in with Sunshine Law. Discussion.

GIT ArchitectureTim Haithcoat

Tim: different pieces are being handled by other subcommittee members and work is moving forward. Architecture effort at state levelinterviews for chief information architect completed, position should be filled soon. Next meeting is 3/9.MoDOTarchitecture in full swing, working towards centerline standard, addressing standard out for review (still) no comments received. It lacks a minimum base unless it is the minimum base. It may be more of a best practice guideline until it has widespread acceptance. Will it dictate how agencies keep their data? Probably not, but it may become a data transfer standard. Need a vote to pull it from draft status and forward it as a standard. Discussion. Motion to have ITAB liaison present to ITAB made, seconded, and approved by vote.

Homeland SecurityTony Spicci

Tony absent. Mark D. indicated there was not a need to meet until new material is received.

Subcommittee met after January MGISAC meeting to talk about goals and objectives. Gary spoke with someone at UMSL about surveying theEastWestregion GIS users. Tim H: the outcome of the county assessors meeting was to pilot with some counties (Audrain, Randolph, maybe Hickory). Needs seemed simple but generated a set of questions to see where they were; those are out to the counties. They are looking for another county or two. Please suggest if you know a county that might be interested. Mark D: MACOG hazard mitigation presentation 2/25. HAVA (Help America Vote Act) looking at GIS components in RFP with DonLLoydat SOS.
