  1. Committee Work Plans for 2008 Committee Workplans • Data Committee (3) • Elevation • Hydrography • Land Records Modernization • Emergency Preparedness (4) • Outreach • Standards • Strategic Plan

  2. Data Committee - Elevation • Assist in the development of partnerships that support data collection projects • Develop a work team to investigate funding opportunities including prospects for LCCMR grants • Populate the Statewide Elevation and Imagery Inventory (SEII) with information that links data collection projects • Support data services that host data resources and deliver them economically • Work with DNR and others to determine physical specifications required to serve very large elevation databases • Establish architecture to optimize data access • Establish governance policies that assign roles and responsibilities for data import, maintenance and access applying that architecture

  3. Data Committee - Elevation Deliver technical standards and information to partners to ensure coordinated data collection Level I • Create and maintain a web site containing all critical documents, white papers, guidelines, policies and best practices to meet a statewide elevation data goal • Design and present a workshop session that addresses the most important questions of county and local government • Update brochure Level II • Develop a work team that will establish critical technical specifications for high resolution digital elevation data that meet FEMA requirements • Develop a work team that will study data collection costs and establish guidelines to guide budgets • Prepare a white paper and briefing paper for a legislative proposal for statewide high resolution digital elevation data coverage

  4. Data Committee - Hydrography Future Initiatives: • Implement plan for use and maintenance of the framework (EPA Grant) • Refine roles and responsibilities • Assess data access and maintenance needs of MN users • Encourage and implement data enhancements and updates • Foster development and sharing of applications and tools • Explore improved linkages between NHD and DNR 24K hydrography layers • Resolve FGDC Compliance issues for MN Watershed Boundaries • Develop wetlands mapping and maintenance strategy • Review and comment on FGDC Wetland Mapping Standard

  5. Data Committee - LRM • The Land Records Modernization Committee will be reforming to explore next steps. • Potential activities include: • Complete Parcel Data Creation Guide begun by committee in 2005 • Create publication on "Getting Parcel Data Funded" - idea from 2005 • Explore how Minnesota cadastral data fits with national standards • Others - as defined by the interested and willing participants! • Will be recruiting at council meeting and through MN GIS/LIS Consortium. Will call initial meeting to determine interest, focus and potential goals in December or January.

  6. Emergency Preparedness Committee Major Accomplishments Thus Far • Committee reorganization and re-focus • Major rework of EPC Public Web Site • Created EPC SharePoint from scratch • Rochester MN GIS/LIS Consortium Convention Recruiting Effort (Growth from 17 to 65) • Developed comprehensive Work Group Vision Statement with 51 Specific Tasks

  9. Emergency Preparedness Committee Data Work Group – Chair: Jeff Bloomquist • 13 SPECIFIC TASKS • Create a command and control data layer for Minnesota • Identify and promote standard Emergency Preparedness symbology • Take ownership of the HSIP process in Minnesota • Devise a hierarchy of GI for EM based on available technology

  11. Emergency Preparedness Committee Long Term • FUSION OF THE MINNESOTA EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT COMMUNITY • (CUSTOMER) • AND GIS COMMUNITY • (PROVIDER)

  12. Outreach Committee Outreach Committee Work Plan2007 - 2008 • Explore other organizational relationships. • Participate in GIS/LIS, IT, MSPS, and other conferences. • Update Communication Plan, including new organizations and a new conference schedule chronology. • Explore ways of distributing more Council messages through GIS/LIS e-announcements and electronic postings to other organizations.
