Meeting Recap

• Minutes and Information
  • Minutes approved as read
  • Informational
    • MAGIC grants are available
    • Summit summary found in the NDGIS blog
    • Strategic Plan - still in need of a refresh, and needs to include big-picture thinking involving agency leadership
    • State-Tribal GIS user group - just an idea at this time, the purpose needs to be defined and existing contacts gathered
• Hub Data Portal Publishing Update
  • The "how to" document has been updated, reflecting recent experiences and feedback from agencies using it
• GIS Program Report
  • The draft has been completed
  • This is done every year and is shared via the GIS website and sent to the Governor's Office
• Census 2020 Population
  • The U.S. Census Bureau has official numbers but not an official dataset
  • The Hub's City Locations and County datasets need to have this updated population data applied to them
• Roundtable/Open Forum
  • Schema changes to data stewards' feature classes - this can be done with a PRV account but apparently not all agencies/data stewards have this
