    4. On-line services: Servers still running but looking to find a non-Linux option for supporting the mailing list
    5. Audit – no report
    6. GIS Data repository – Jason Siebrecht stepped down from the role as manager.  Jon Lubke is filling in the interim.  Usage is declining and the board is meeting less and less frequently.  Much more effort will be needed to keep the program alive.  Around $15,000 is still left from the original grant to update tools.  Rick Havel will take over the program.
    7. Information security – COSTAR will be hosting another Smart Connections event on April 28th at the Airport Holiday Inn.  Joel Rohne is looking for ideas.

    2. Iowa Land Records – Jon Lubke is resigning from the CLRIS board.  Ryan Eaton will replace him.
    3. IGIC – Rick Havel is the chair this year.  Jon Paoli will be sending out an RFP for 1’ pixel statewide imagery acquisition with the opportunity for local governments to buy up to 6”.  The state will be flown over 2 years, east half first, then west.  Up to $5,000 in grants is available for GeoMentoring.
    4. CIAO – no meeting
    5. EIGIS – met on 11/13 with about 40 people present.  ESRI gave a presentation on ArcGIS Pro.  2015 NAIP is available now as a service and will soon be available to download at 1m resolution.
    6. Tech Team – Not a lot of activity at the moment.  Suggestion to tackle only 2 big projects a year and try to get in front of supervisors again and present at ISAC University.
    7. No progress made on having a joint IGIC\ICIT conference in 2017.  Both sides seem to be in agreement, just need to start having joint meetings.  (From the previous meeting minutes the Micah Van Maanen, Paul Culver, Joel Rohne and Gabe Johanns will represent ICIT, but we haven’t heard who will represent IGIC).
    8. The Treasurer’s Affiliate asked for assistance from ICIT for their online services.  Alissa will think about helping them
