This council, authorized by legislation, advises the Minnesota Geospatial Information Office (MnGeo) about issues, policies, priorities, and investments needed to improve services statewide through the coordinated, affordable, reliable, and effective use of geospatial technology. This is a policy-oriented council that will be supplemented and supported by work teams and technical committees. The council must represent a cross-section of organizations that include counties, cities, universities, business, nonprofit organizations, federal and state agencies, tribal governments, and other stakeholder groups that benefit from geospatial technology. To ensure that council membes represent the required cross-section of interests, applicants other than those in the At-Large category must provide a written endorsement from an organization that matches an identified stakeholder category from their executive officer, board director, or equivalent. Organizations may endorse more than one applicant and an applicant may apply as an endorsed candidate for more than a single category. In the event that qualified applications are not received for any of the target categories, the appointing authority reserves the right to substitute an At-Large representative for that category. In addition to the appointed members, the council will include the state chief geospatial information officer as a non-voting, ex-officio member. The term of office for appointed members will be for a term expiring on June 30, 2013. Meetings will be held four times a year, with the first meeting likely to be in September in St. Paul.
