- Training sessions for pictometry will be on August 11th and 12^th. See GIS Coop website for the training flyer (it will also be attached to this minutes notice). To sign up for the pictometry training, go to: http://www.pagnet.org/rdc/picttrain/

- More pictometry training may occur in September

- All subcommittees are still working on various projects. August's Coop meeting will have reports on how project development has been proceeding

- The Executive subcommittee has unanimously agreed that having an Executive Leadership structure would be good for the GIS Coop. However, some details will need to be worked out before this proposal is presented to members for their input

- Dave Koss has agreed to take care of the budget for the current chair. The budget for this

FY (FY 05-06) is $80,420

- Should the GIS Coop budget cover Pima Community College courses?

- TFD may need an intern for data conversion

(TFD also wants to place pictometry on their laptops

- GIS Coop should think about allocating some money towards new data layers that we

may need or don't have (such as footprints of all of the buildings in Tucson/Pima County)

- Zoning layer has been completed (Jesse Reyes - COT UPD). It will be awhile, however, before it can be released, due to the edge matching that needs to occur. This work may possibly contracted out

- Tucson Water is hiring for four (4) full-time interns (approx. $9.00 per hour). Work period is six to eight weeks from sign off to the end of FY 05-06. Involves editing in ArcMap and moving all points and lines

- Tucson Water is updating to ArcGIS 9.1
