Printed minutes passed out. Minutes were approved with corrections by motion and vote.

By-lawsJeff Falter

Gerry Wethington has suggested some minor wording changes to the By-laws. Those changes will be submitted to the committee by the ten-day cutoff for the April meeting. Jeff conveyed to Gerry that MGISAC is working on issues for the state of Missouri, not just Missouri State Government, and Gerry has bought into this concept, so the state membership majority requirement in the by-laws can probably be removed.

CommunicationsDavid Drum

New page template in use in minutes, please comment. Still no contributions from agencies toward data acquisition schedule.

Data DevelopmentRay Fox

Tony S: Jo Ann has resigned as co-chair. Ray F: No work is taking place until after the MAGIC Symposium/State Mapping Workshop. There may be a gathering afterward to show the work that is going on in this area. This subcommittee will need a co-chair from the State membership.

Education and OutreachRyan Lanclos

Ryan L: discussion of handout1,2 detailing plans for GIS Day at the Capitol. We will have access to the 3rd floor Rotunda at 7 a.m., display runs 8 a.m. till 4 p.m. Discussion of audience and content of MGISAC booth posters. David D will set up a meeting for interested parties soon to discuss booth poster content.

GIS Data PolicyTim Haithcoat

Tim has some material and wants to schedule a meeting, or may discuss issues at the next MGISAC. There is a lot in this topic that could be pursued. Tony S: Greg D has resigned as co-chair. The subcommittee needs another co-chair. JimLaScalahas volunteered.

GIT ArchitectureTim Haithcoat

GIT Architecture entity chart discussed. Addressing standard discussed. Motion from Jim L to accept the standard and forward it to the next group. Motion seconded. Tony S friendly amendment: Information domain is the next group to approve the document. Amendment seconded. Motion and amendment approved by vote.

Homeland SecurityTony Spicci

There was no meeting last month. Waiting to see how move from Health to National Guard will work out. If there is enough interest, the next meeting will be on 3/19 at 10 a.m. in the Lower Osage conference room at the Missouri Department of Conservation.

Local GovernmentSteve Marsh, Gary Mook

Subcommittee met after February MGISAC meeting (this will be a regular occurrence). Plan to post date and time of subcommittee meeting in advance on web site to draw in Local Government staff. Local Government has a slot at MAGIC to talk about standards. A web page with contact information is being created. Mark D: discussing a survey for the web site for local government members to direct the work of the subcommittee. Mission, goals, and division of work will be set at the next meeting. Steve M: Continuing possibility of developing individual county GIS dataCDs(like the one previously created for Hickory county). Liz C: she met with the presiding commissioner of Hickory county, who mentioned a SEMA survey and grant. The survey has poor response rate (22) from counties. How can the response rate be improved with GIS? Since funding for GIS is the biggest obstacle, grant eligibility would help. Tim H: Audrain county has bid out mapping, so won’t be participating in the county assessors GIS pilot. Vernon county mentioned as a pilot. The chief county assessor is giving MGISAC time at the next county assessors meeting to discuss how to start GIS work. The National Association of Counties has a grant for similar work. Discussion. Subcommittee is meeting again after this meeting.

NominationsTim Haithcoat

No report. Tony S: ITAB has been asked repeatedly for nominations from non-participating agencies; nothing forthcoming. He will continue to bring the request to ITAB. Discussion. Tony S: Tim has asked to step down as chair, still looking for a replacement. It would be a good idea to have an ex-officio member as chair. Tim has declined, Tom has not been approached. There may be efficiencies in having Tom take nominations to Gerry, since Tom works for Gerry. Tony also recognizes that Jeff S has indicated interest in the chair pending the outcome of the question of state majority in the membership.
