Meeting Recap

• The 2016 GISTC meeting locations have been set and the invites sent out to the GISTC members
• Esri will be at the February GISTC meeting to discuss with us the Community Parcels; it's very nice that they are being proactive to visit us
• The new GIS web site is under construction and will be viewed at the next meeting; it uses Drupal and represents a very large cost savings
• Bob showed the new Hub Portal even though it's still under construction
• Some discussion on interns.  Based on the GISTC input, Bob will plan to include at least one intern in the 2017-19 budget
• Tribal lands
  • The layer "TribalLands" will be renamed to "Reservations" which is what we called it in the early days of the GIS Hub
  • The existing "TribalLands" will remain but the features will be removed; in the future Brian H. will insert the actual tribal land data that he maintains
• State parks stewardship will revert back to Chris D. at Parks and Recreation
• The GISTC reviewed the currency of the datasets listed in the "Hub Layers" spreadsheet
• Discussion on ArcSDE which has been deprecated by Esri in 10.2.  We will set as a goal to phase out use of ArcSDE by June 30, 2016
