Meeting Recap

• News and information
  • Ann and the Health Department received the Smart Communities Innovation Challenge Grant
  • Vendor Pool RFP will be released in early 2017
  • Draft legislation for giving the state authority to submit BAS information to the Census Bureau on behalf of cities and counties is still being worked on
  • Bismarck-Mandan imagery/elevation data has been received
• Parcels
  • The proof of concept continues with the data being on the GIS Hub database
  • The GISTC would like to see the landowner's name being part of the data
  • Once a web app has been built, that will be shared with the 5 counties who have provided their data for the proof of concept
• GISTC Activities Report
  • This report is in lieu of having the full GISTC meeting
  • Bob displayed the draft is still being worked on
• Feature Datasets
  • Discussion about what we should do with the feature datasets, to keep them or not
  • After some discussion we agree to keep the feature datasets for now, possibly considering renaming them to follow ISO conventions
• Disaster Recovery
  • Need to identify data priorities and list assumptions
  • The main concern is whether or not there are any critical applications or uses of spatial data; use that information to verify that the necessary resources are in place
• Imagery Proposal
  • We received an unsolicited proposal for imagery from Planet Imagery.  Looks interesting but no budget at this time.
• Executive Order
  • The current Executive Order that we operate under is still valid and applicable, but some of the text is becoming dated.
  • After some discussion we determined that we'd revisit this sometime next year once the new Governor has been in office for a time.
