This council, authorized by
legislation passed in 2009,

the coordinated, affordable, reliable, and effective use of geospatial
technology. (The Statewide Geospatial Advisory Council addresses issues of concern to the wider GIS community.)

In addition to the appointed members, the council included a representative of MnGeo and the Office of Enterprise Technology as a voting, ex-officio member, and a representative from the Statewide Geospatial Advisory Council as a non-voting, ex-officio member. It was chaired by the state’s chief geographic information officer.
