Meeting Recap

• Welcomed new members from the DOT, DOH, PSC, DTL
• Review minutes/informational items
• Census Data Training
  • Appears to be some interest in inviting Kevin from Census Office of the Department of Commerce - once focus topic(s) has/have been defined
  • Census Bureau has training resources here: https://www.census.gov/data/academy.html
• GNIS Archival
  • Would be useful for 911-related to have historical populated places 
  • The Board on Geographic Names stores this information but this information is not included when we download it for the Hub.  Bob will follow up.
• ArcGIS in Teams
  • Bob provided a brief demo
  • Takes some getting use to and has yet to define a clear use for this
  • However, this might be useful in providing a glimpse of geospatial to non-geospatial users of Teams
• Statewide Coordination
  • Previously discussed in 2019
  • We need a means of engaging more people across the state
  • Sean suggested approaching this as a users group instead, and Ann added to that concept to create focused user groups
• Roundtable/Open Forum
  • Phil enjoyed the MAGIC conference
  • Brian B has submitted his letter of retirement
