2. New categories and stucture to the SGID
SGID 9.3 categories closely to the ISO standards for geo-spatial data categories. Almost the same ones are by the State Archives general schedules for archiving geo-spatial data. This can be done at the state agency level and county and municipality

3. Discussion of the Broadband Project -- interest in the standardized address dataset.
Ben Clement attended the NENA (National Emergency Number Association (E911) to present his address system of using the decimal number of a decimal degree to create an address for a structure. While he was there he found out that NENA has recommended a standard address system to FGDC. This should soom be adopted by FGDC. The address data set would be a point data set with a lat., long., and elevation or floor associated with it. This would a location identifier data set. Any alternate address could be associated with the point, but the lat., long,. and elevation would be the primary location indicator. The elevation or floor will help in large cities with many high rise buildings.
The CCP and Ben would like to work with the AGRC when it begins its work on the standards for the address dataset for the Broadband Project.

4.  GISAC Remote Sites
While we were talking about the Broadband Project- the remote sites for GISAC were brought up. Dave Vaughn said he would be a host of one in Moab in December. This remote could catch the people in the southeast area of the state.

5. Discussion on new formation of GISAC.
Discussed the position of user groups within the new format. Suggested the regional user groups be associate members of GPIC and that one member from each user group be represent in the GPIC committee. This would give user groups a purpose and would bring more people into the user groups. Shows user groups know that their work could be moved up through GPIC and through SGAC.

6. GIS Day.
  Talked about ideas for GIS Day events in Price. Also talked about educational ideas for promoting GIS in the k-12 schools in the area.

7. Aerial Imagery.
High resolution in SLC will be available soon. Has been sent to USGS for QC/QA. As soon as it is returned it will be load onto the image server. Will soon be available by merged tiles by county. Quality of the imagery good. Discussion onf the Imagery for the Nation program. it is moving along.
