Meeting Recap

• State Coordinate System
  • The discussion was a follow up from the previous conversation on clarifying the state coordinate system and getting that information out to the GIS website
  • Final comments need to be provided to Rod by the end of the week
  • Before posting to the web, the GISTC would like to see "reviewed by" statements on it from both the GISTC and the State Engineer's Office
• Cloud Status
  • Still waiting on a file storage system so that the desktop environment can be set up and tested
  • Milestones for the migration have been drafted; the GISTC reviewed and made a few tweaks
  • These milestones will be used to help formulate a timeline
• Feature Class Naming
  • Final resolution pending the discussion at the February meeting
  • The GISTC plans to put all feature classes in the root folder of the database but the naming convention has not yet been determined
• Data Retirement Policy
  • In 2014 the GISTC created a 'Geospatial Data Archival Working Group' to discuss management of geospatial data
  • The GISTC discussed if we should build upon that
  • Discussion resulted in continuing to rely on data stewards to refresh data and pull it off line as needed
