MGISAC Administration

State GIO ReportTim Haithcoat

Tracking stimulus package (ARRA) funds. Take a look at it; there is a lot of money being talked about. Paid internships program from the Governor’s office. Good opportunity for a summer intern. Met yesterday about broadband mapping and the broadband initiative. Local governments should make sure they identify sites needing connectivity. Submitted a proposal for image-based control through surveyor’s groups. Not section corners, but visible landmarks. Planning on doing some mapping support for the 2010 census, cooperating with local government. Need to identify growth from the end of June through November. Census bureau is gathering addresses since March, but they stop canvassing in June. Need to collect addresses after June and figure out how to get these clusters to the Census bureau. Missouri is +/- 60,000 people of a congressional district. Liz C: all these projects are stimulus funds? Tim: they are all stimulus funds or budget stabilization funds. Liz: all this is being done through the University? Tim: no, we are setting up a service bureau of resources across the state. Liz: we need to get out the word that this is going to stimulate more than just the academic community. Jeff S: where do the new member letters stand? Tim: four people have been removed from the committee and replacements are pending. Letters are with the right person; expect them all by next month. Description of how the Office of Geospatial Information is being set up. Discussion.

Extended discussion. Call to question. Motion failed unanimously. Motion from Liz C to have Tim H determine if he as GIO or the CIO Office can sign the next contract with Tan-Tar-A. Seconded by Jim L. Approved by vote. Discussion about how to pay CMP to reserve 2011 dates at Tan-Tar-A.

Have $50,000 grant through RSOCs to fly Region A. Will complement data collected last year.

Outreach & EducationMark Duewell

Had a successful Emergency Response workshop at Washington University in St. Louis. Survey going out to participants soon. Had an impressive number of first responders, 60% or better. Had some participants from Illinois. One downside is that because participants have no financial commitment, quite a few did not show, and there was a lot of extra food. No-shows were, unfortunately, disproportionately from academia. Discussion.
