FISCAL ANALYSIS
ASSUMPTION
Section 37.1310 - Missouri Geospatial Advisory Council
Officials from the Office of Administration (OA) assume this proposal creates the "Missouri
Geospatial Advisory Council" within the Office of Administration. While staffing requirements
listed in the bill only include an executive secretary for the council, it is assumed that the council
will require additional staffing resources in order to fulfill the duties for the council outlined in
the bill. This includes the issuing of RFPs for data acquisition, and the resulting project
management needed for these projects. Data acquisition such as aerial imagery, NG911,
broadband, and flood plain management all have large GIS requirements. Data acquisitions
recommendations coming from the Council are likely to be aligned with agency/project specific
funding and are not included in this estimate. Some of the functions listed for this council are
currently being performed by the Missouri Office of Geospatial Information within ITSD in
coordination with the current Missouri GIS Advisory Council. While there are some existing GIS
staffing resources within ITSD, creating a new council through statute will not have the desired
impact without additional financial support and staffing to implement that vision. There are a
large number of members listed in the bill for the new "Missouri Geospatial Advisory Council",
however, the members listed do not include technical practitioners with GIS credentials, and it is
anticipated that GIS staffing and resources to assist this council will be needed. It is also
anticipated that GIS data standardization would reside in the ITSD Office of Data Management
which will need to provide staffing to ensure data standards are enforced that will allow for data
compatibility and integration within state systems. The estimated fiscal impact includes 5 FTE as
shown below, as well as funding (estimated at $300,000 annually) for a statewide base map and
geographic information system which would host the integrated state GIS data.
1 Executive Secretary at $45,000 annually to provide administrative support to the council
including monthly meeting minutes, correspondence, record requests, or website updates.
1 GIS Specialist at $60,000 annually to apply for federal grants, manage contracts awarded from
these grants for geospatial infrastructure and workforce development.
1 GIS Manager at $90,000 annually to secure data sharing, build partnerships, provide
recommendations on investments, coordinate with national efforts, and collaborate/hold
meetings with officials.
2 GIS Developers at $75,000 annually to assume the actual development of tools and supporting
infrastructure for data harvesting, standardization, and publication of large geospatial data sets.
Oversight does not have any information to the contrary. Therefore, Oversight will reflect the
fiscal impact as estimated by OA. L.R. No. 2401S.02I

In response to a similar proposal from this year (HB 475), officials from the Missouri
Department of Agriculture (MDA) assumed this legislation would require the Director of the
Missouri Department of Agriculture to travel a 300 mile round trip (MDA office to Kansas City,
MO) for 12 meetings. Fiscal impact would include mileage ($0.55 per mile) and a $48 meal per
diem per day. MDA would incur a total fiscal impact of $2,556 in FY 2024, $2,607 in FY 2025
and $2,659 in FY 2026 to implement the changes in this proposal.
Oversight notes the new council will consist of roughly 34 members, meets monthly and the
members will be reimbursed for actual and necessary expenses. Oversight assumes this proposal
will require roughly $50,000 in expense reimbursement to the 34 members for 12 meetings (34
members x 12 meetings per year x $122 in expenses (mileage, meals, etc.)). Oversight will
reflect the cost to various state funds.
Officials from the Department of Economic DevelopmentDepartment of Elementary
and Secondary Education, the Department of Health and Senior Services, the Department
of Natural Resources, the Department of Revenue, the Department of Public Safety –
Directors Office and the, the Department of Social Services
Missouri Department of Conservation, the Missouri Department of Transportation
the proposal will have no fiscal impact on their respective organizations.
Oversight notes that the above mentioned agencies have stated the proposal would not have a
direct fiscal impact on their organization. Oversight does not have any information to the
contrary. Therefore, Oversight will reflect a zero impact on the fiscal note for these agencies.
