Committee meeting on December 7,2010, Ms. Bhavani Kakani made a motion to approve the
Minutes, Mr. Evans Quinlivan seconded the motion; the Minutes were unanimously approved.
SEARCH COMMITTEE UPDATE:

Mr. Don Davidson reported the Search Committee spent three (3) days interviewing candidates
and a couple of positive candidates have been selected. The committee is still accepting resumes.
Background research should be done on the selected candidate(s), the names presented to the
committee and go forward with the process. Mr. Quinlivan asked if there were still 64 resumes
received or were there any more and if it was still only four (4) that were interviewed. Mr.
Davidson confirmed it was 64 resumes received thus far and the interviews of the four (4)
candidates lasted two hours each; the process was very thorough with every Search Committee
members present for the interviews. Dr. Waymon Burke said it all sounds fair and confidential
but said that when they did the process before Mr. Capps was hired that the option for the
candidates to withdraw, knowing their names would be in the Minutes and would become public.
Mr. Daniel Wilson said Mr. Stan Gregory, Attorney with Bradley Arant Boult Cummings, LLP
and Mr. John Wilmer, Attorney with Wilmer & Lee, P.A. are working on a new employment
agreement with provisions that legally fits in the statute and By-Laws for the new Executive
Director. Mr. Gregory and Mr. Wilmer are working on something that is fair to the Executive
Director and protects the Commission. Once the contract is finalized Mr. Wilson will present it
to the Executive Committee for approval. Mr. Quinlivan suggested that the names be presented

EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE
December 10,2010 - Page 2
to the Committee for approval. Mr. Davidson said the candidates have signed waivers for a
background check. Ms. Bhavani Kakani said there is one candidate in particular that is very
strong. Mr. Davidson said the process has been very thorough; every resume has been read and
the selection of candidates is a good representation. Mr. Slyman asked that the names be given
to him.
PROTOCOL FOR SETTING UP COMMITTEE MEETINGS:

Mr. Todd Slyman asked Ms. Celia Lee to please explain the protocol to the Executive Committee
members. Ms. Lee asked that all members give her sufficient notice to set up their respective
committee meetings, as the meetings need to be posted the same way the full ASSEC, Executive,
and Finance meetings do on the State of Alabama's Open Meeting's website. At least seven (7)
days notice for meetings is required to be posted. In addition, Ms. Lee will handle the required
communication for the meetings bye-mailing the meeting notice/invite to the committee
members, track the attendance, prepare the Agenda (with the assistance of the Chair), and if Ms.
Lee is available (without another meeting conflict) will take the minutes for the meeting. If Ms.
Lee is not available the Chair or someone the Chair appoints needs to take the minutes of the
meeting. Ms. Lee said her position as the Executive Administrative Assistant to the c.E.O. is
also to the Commission and within reason she will handle the administrative work for the Chairs
as all meetings need to be recorded properly for any independent or State audits. Ms. Lee asked
Mr. Slyman about the Agenda for the upcoming monthly Executive Meeting for next Tuesday,
December 14 as the standard one that has been used is fairly extensive and now that the
ASSEClExecutive is following the Finance the Agenda may need to be condensed. All
Committee members had discussion and agreed the meetings need to have the finer details and
streamlined as not to sit through lengthy meetings. Ms. Kakani said the focus should be
strategically and tactics. Mr. Slyman said it is the Committee Chair's obligation to get with their
committees and report on what needs to be reported. Mr. Quinlivan said it forces the Chair's to
understand what is going on and if you have someone else coming in reporting for you, you are
not paying as close attention as you should. Mr. Slyman said unless the Chair particularly invites
a specific staff member to be in the meeting we do not need the staff attending the meetings
regularly. Ms. Lee asked about the NASNMSFC and Redstone representatives attendance at the
ASSEClExecutive monthly meeting and it was agreed they should still be part of the meetings to
give their updates.
Mr. Wilson presented an invoice for $2,000 from Mr. John Wilmer, Wilmer & Lee, P.A. for his
services at the ASSEC Special Called meeting on November 17,2010. The motion was made by
Mr. Wilson to pay the invoice, Mr. Quinlivan seconded the motion, it was unanimously approved
for the invoice to be paid. Mr. Slyman signed the approval on the invoice; it was given to Ms.
Lee to submit to Mr. Donnie Claxton for payment.
Mr. Quinlivan asked Ms. Lee if we had received the expected December 10,2010 Space
Investments money and Ms. Lee said she does not believe it was received yet. Mr. Slyman and
Mr. Quinlivan asked for a conference call to be setup with Mr. Larry Capps today to discuss the
Space Investments payment that is due and Ms. Lee setup the call for 1:30 p.m. today.

20 I O. Mr. Slyman requested the Special Called meeting minutes be held and he will get with
Ms. Celia Lee after the meeting to amend the minutes as there is specific language that needs to
be added. Mr. Evans Quinlivan asked why full Commission meeting minutes are approved at an
Executive Committee meeting. Mr. Daniel Wilson requested that both sets of minutes be
approved by the full Commission since both were ASSEC meetings. Mr. Quinlivan made a
motion to hold the minutes for both the November 5 and 17, 20 I0 meetings for approval until the
next full ASSEC meeting (Quarterly in February); all minutes relating to any full Commission
meeting should be held and approved at the next full ASSEC meeting and all Executive
Committee meeting minutes would be approved by the Executive Committee; Mr. Daniel

NASA/MARSHALL SPACE FLIGHT CENTER UPDATE:

Ms. Ola Metcalfe was not available to present a report.
REDSTONE ARSENAL UPDATE:

Ms. Julie Frederick was not available to present a report.
USSRC FOUNDATION REPORT:

Ms. Jennifer Crozier reported the Statement of Operations for the two period ending November
21,2010; Total Revenue is $249,914 versus $173,501 at this time last year. The Total Transfers
to USSRC are $231,681, with a Change in Net Assets $18,072. Mr. Quinlivan asked were the
$231,681 shows up on the financials and Ms. Crozier said it shows up in various places but
mostly in Deferred Income at this time. Mr. Wilson asked if Scholarships show up as Aerospace
Income and Ms. Crozier said once the people show up for the programs, then it goes into
Aerospace Income. The Schedule of Contributions is in the packet for the members. The Saturn
V License Plate Sales revenue totals $782,232 since it started in 2005. Mr. Wilson asked if the
USSRC Foundation is a separate legal entity and Ms. Crozier said the Foundation has its own
IRS ID number; it is a separate entity with its own By-Laws and Articles oflncorporation. In
accounting it is a component unit of the Center. Mr. Wilson asked how the Board was setup and
Mr. Capps said it is an independently self appointed Board. Ms. Crozier said there is one
overlapping member of the Commission on the Foundation Board and that is Dr. Waymon
Burke.
CEO'S REPORT:
Mr. Larry Capps reported December is the time to refurbish and update the Center. The
Davidson Center has been busy with night functions. The Children's Christmas party was held
on December 5 and we had the largest turnout ever of 91 children. The Employee Awards
ceremony was held Friday, December 17 in the Discovery Theater; we recognized the Employee
of the Year and other employees who exhibit Excellent Customer Service. We have hosted
Weeklong groups from India, Taiwan, Great Britain, and Malaysia. The Rocket City Jr. Math
Mania was here and had 740 participants. A new children's workshop was introduced on
November 27 through December; Orbiting Ornaments. Another new museum program is
Parent's Day Out, where they drop their children off (ages 6-12) for a 4-hour period so they can
finish their Christmas shopping. The 4-hour period includes lunch, movie, and a hands-on
activity (two dates were scheduled in December). The Sales team attended 13 conferences and
events. The Education staff has completed six (6) of the seven (7) ARC Grant outreaches to Hale
and Macon Counties and the staff has conducted four (4) Distance Learning sessions in the new
DLN lab in conjunction with NASAlMSFC. There were five Corporate Camp programs
completed. MSFC has completed the Nondestructive Evaluation (MRI) of the Apollo Space
Suit.

EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE
December 14, 20 10 - Page 3
Mr. Capps asked Ms. Jennifer Crozier to give the update about the Mind of Saturn exhibit. Ms.
Crozier reported the exhibit team will be calling on Local Huntsvillians for interviews and stories
on the actual development and testing of the Instrument Unit and Mr. Brooks Moore will be a
consultant on the project.
Mr. Capps continued reporting on GT AC; the DCNR Coastal Remote Monitoring Program Phase
II project continues on schedule with eight (8) cameras installed on the coast with real-time
pictures. Another four (4) camera platforms have been built and tested and are ready for
deployment to the coast. The team is pursing further investigation into FUR's new color night
vision capability and will arrange for a demonstration soon. The Season of Magic for the
holidays and the Narnia exhibit will wrap up its three month promotion. There were several
events associated with the Season of Magic starting with the Pumpkin Chunkin' contest which
was a huge success. Marketing is working on the details for the VIP opening and opening day
activities for CSI: The Experience. Dr. D.P. Lyle, forensic expert and author, will be the featured
guest. Mr. Capps handed out the e-mail exchange with Ms. Pamela Al-Ibrahim regarding the
status of when the money would be received from Space Investments Company (SIC).
Mr. Capps said last week an agreement was signed for at least three (3) and maybe four (4) Space
Camps in China; $35,000 has already been paid. Mr. Capps passed out a hand-out with details
about the Option to Enter Licensing Agreement with Mactus Group, LTD. Mr. Wilson asked if
there is a dollar value on the contract and was surprised that the contract should have come
before the Executive Committee for approval. Mr. Capps said it is an "Option to Enter"
agreement and the Basics of Options is for $305,000 (three options) between now and June 1,
2012. Then the $305,000 will be applied towards the $1.75M license fee. Mr. Wilson asked
who establishes these numbers and the schedule. Mr. Capps said the $1.75M is the standard
license fee agreement and it covers Space Camp, Space Academy, and Advanced Space
Academy. If it were for only Space Camp it would be $1.25M and that fee was determined back
in 2002. The fees for the Option Agreement were negotiated over six (6) months with lawyers
here in town, representing Mactus Group. The CEO with Mactus and three of his directors were
here last week; before they arrived we arranged a tour for them at Kennedy Space Center. They
left last week very pleased. There sites have already been selected and they are currently looking
for the fourth. Mr. Wilson said he does not doubt a lot of work went into the negotiations.
However, he was under the impression from the Contract Management Policy that any contract
with a dollar liability over $100,000 is to be signed by the CEO and the Chair or Vice Chair of
the Commission, this contract was not even presented to the Executive Committee for approval.
Mr. Wilson said he questions if this option agreement is even valid because this agreement was
not approved by the Commission. Mr. Capps said that is cost contracts over $100,000, this is a
revenue agreement. Mr. Wilson said that is an interesting interruption because anything that has
a dollar impact (plus or minus) of $100,000 or more is a significant contract. Mr. Capps asked
when the Committee would have liked to be involved. Mr. Wilson said they should have seen
the Option Agreement and been briefed on the pricing schedule. Mr. Wilson said the Contract
Management Policy needs to be fixed. Mr. Capps said over the last three meeting it has been
mentioned about the China groups' interest. Mr. Wilson said it was mentioned but nothing was
presented. Mr. Wilson asked that it be clarified with the Executive Committee today that this be
for any contract (plus or minus) and that the Contract Management Policy be brought before the

EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE
entire Commission to be reviewed and amended. Mr. Wilson made a motion that any contract,
revenue generating or liability, of $100,000 or more be brought to the Executive Committee prior
to signing, Mr. Quinlivan seconded; the motion was unanimously approved. Mr. Capps said
there are a number of contracts that come though that need to be signed, most recently was the
IBM agreement for the Mind of Saturn exhibit and this could hold up things. Mr. Don Davidson
said the objective is not to hold up the CEO from daily business; we have known about IBM for
several months, as did the China deal. The process for informing the Executive Committee of
the details and getting direction from the Committee to see if this is something they would
approve or not. Mr. Davidson said that every contract has some costs along the line and is not
completely a revenue generating contract. This is not to impede the CEO or Director's ability to
manage the business. Mr. Wilson said this was discussed last year and suggests that the
Committee needs to make a recommendation to the full Commission in February that the entire
Contract Management Policy be reviewed and oversight needs to be implemented at some level.
Mr. Wilson will take the lead to pull up what was done before because some significant progress
was made to present the changes to the policy at the next ASSEC Quarterly meeting in February.
Mr. Quinlivan said it should also be looked at as protection for the CEO. Mr. Capps said he was
operating with a three day window with the China group. Mr. Davidson said less than 30 days
ago we were in a meeting that this should have been presented.
COMMITTEE UPDATES:
Aerospace - Mr. Kevin Webber said there was no update but he has met with Mr. Ralph Bryson
and his team to get an overview and will plan on setting up a full committee meeting.
Mr. Slyman asked Ms. Lee to please give a quick overview of the notice of meetings. Ms. Lee
said that all standing committees need to be posted on the Secretary of State's website just as the
Finance, Executive, and full ASSEC meetings. If a Chair wants to have a full committee meeting
it will need to be posted at least seven (7) days in advance of the meeting date. Ms. Lee said she
will handle sending out meeting notice and if available (does not have a conflict) will take the
minutes of the meeting. If she is not available to take the minutes the Chair needs to designate
someone to take and write-up the minutes for their meeting. Mr. Webber said he is planning on
having the Aerospace Committee meetings a week or two before each Quarterly meeting. Ms.
Lee said to let her know when Mr. Webber has selected the date and she will post it.
Finance - Mr. Evans Quinlivan reported the Variance Tracker for Reservations and
Registrations as of December 13,2010; Weeklong is ahead .57% and the total for all programs is
around 7% below this time last year. The bar chart shows the Registered and Reserved
Weeklong, Short, and Total for Weeklong and Short programs. The Weeklong for FYll is 7,806
versus 7,762 for FYI0; Short programs are around 2,000 lower from FYI0, and the Total for all
programs are about 2,000 below FYI0. Mr. Wilson asked Mr. Capps if there was any word back
from Lucasfilms yet if we have approval to do the Jedi camps next year and Mr. Capps said we
are still waiting to hear from them. The Final Comparison chart shows the Pathfinder programs
are up and Astrotrek is down about 2,800. Mr. Quinlivan said Mr. Bryson will be able to
determine by the end of January what the year will looks like and expects to meet budget in
Aerospace. The Center's Line of Credit Drawdown as of December 13,2010 is $5.128M with

EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE
outstanding checks is about $5.4M. The next chart is the Planned Line of Credit Use showing
the Budget Forecast for FYII, the Actual use as of the end of November 2010, the Maximum
(Line of Credit) for the end of FYI I, and where we are/will be once the Space Investment money
is received. Payroll is coming up and that will put us close to the Line of Credit limit. The next
chart is Cash Receipts and Disbursements as of December 12,2010. The variance of the Planned
versus Actual Receipts is positive by $751,000. The variance of Planned versus Actual
Disbursements is $368,000 more. The Total Planned and Actual Receipts and Disbursements are
a positive variance of$383,000. The Summary for the two periods ending November 21,2010
shows that Admissions are behind $88,000 and for the FYI 0 Year to Date Total is behind
$397,000. The Aerospace Income for the Period is $558,000 versus Budget of $462,000, for a
positive of $96,000. The Total Operating Revenue is short $61,000. The Total Operating
Expenses are a positive of $85,000. The Change in Net Assets Year to Date Total and Budget
are exactly the same, a negative of$958,000. The Balance Sheet shows the Amount over Bank
Covenant is $6.009M. The Trend Report for the first two periods (comparing 2008 through
2011), shows on the Revenue side; Admissions being up ($234,000) over the last three (3) years
and is mostly due to the Narnia exhibit. The Aerospace Income is also up, $558,000. For
Expenses, the Full Time Payroll is actually down compared to the last few years but the Part
Time Payroll is up considerably (compared to FY10, FY09, and FY08) and it is primarily
Aerospace personnel. Mr. Quinlivan said the Finance Committee discussed the accounts
receivable aging report and that we are collecting receivables as we should. The Lodging Tax
Receipts; the October payment was $85,132. The budget was for $71,990 and the difference was
$13,141 above the budget.

WELCOME:
Mr. Todd Slyman, ASSEC Chair, welcomed everyone to the Executive Committee meeting. Mr.
Slyman announced a voting quorum present, and the meeting opened for the transaction of
business. Ms. Lee was present to record the minutes of the meeting.
Mr. Todd Slyman asked if there were any changes or comments to the minutes for the Executive
Committee meeting on December 10, 2010, Ms. Bhavani Kakani made a motion to approve the
Minutes, Mr. Kevin Webber seconded the motion; the Minutes were unanimously approved.
SEARCH COMMITTEE UPDATE:

Mr. Todd Slyman said the Search Committee passed on a name of a candidate at the last meeting
and since then that person as been vetted. Mr. Daniel Wilson said this has come to a point in the
process were a discussion regarding the recommended candidate's character, reputation, and
professional qualification and per the Alabama Open Meetings Act, Section 7, we are allowed to
go into Executive Session for that limited purpose. This group was charged by the full
Commission to find the replacement, determine that person's competency, and to negotiate the
contract with the new Executive Director/CEO. Mr. Wilson made a motion to go into Executive
Session (per the Alabama Open Meetings Act); this session should last about 10 to 15 minutes, to
discuss this person's character, good-name, reputation, and professional competency in
compliance (which are appropriately done), in an Executive Session per the Alabama Law for

EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE
that purpose, Mr. Kevin Webber seconded the motion. Mr. Waymon Burke said he does not
have a vote but asked the Chair, Mr. Slyman ifhe could speak and Mr. Slyman said he could.
Mr. Burke said this is the people's business and they have a right to know. Mr. Burke said he
feels it is wrong to go into Executive Session unless there is something negative to be discussed
and if a candidate has been chosen there is nothing negative, only positives will be discussed.
Mr. Burke said he thinks Executive Session is usually when someone is being charged with
something that would harm their professional reputation. Mr. Burke asked the Executive
Committee needs to think about this before deciding to go into Executive Session. Mr. Evans
Quinlivan asked to talk through the process and wanted to know if we go into Executive Session
for 10 to 15 minutes as suggested and we reconvene, what follows. Mr. Slyman said deliberation
will follow; the Executive Session is only an information session, there is no deliberation in the
Executive Session. Mr. Keith Smith said the Executive Session is to talk about the candidate and
if we agree we want to go forward then we come out of that session; when we come out of the
Executive Session and we have agreed, that candidate will be announced. Ifwe decide not to
move forward it will protect the privacy of that person. Mr. Slyman said that is correct. Mr.
Burke said the last time they went through the process that the final candidates agreed to submit
that their names would be made public in an open meeting and those who did not, did not
continue in the process. Mr. Quinlivan asked for clarification that when they come out of
Executive Session, assuming this is the candidate we want to move forward with and the name
will be presented and everyone will know who that candidate is. Mr. Burke said this person
probably does not have any negatives but he feels the public has a right to know what those
things are. Mr. Wilson said he agreed with Mr. Burke, however, the law is this way for a purpose
and it clearly contemplates that public bodies can do this and out of respect for the candidate(s)
and the process. Mr. Burke said it does not look good, because you can do it does not mean it is
ethically and morally correct. Mr. Slyman asked if there was any more discussion. Mr. Slyrnan
asked if everyone is in favor of going into Executive Session; the motion that was originally
made by Mr. Daniel Wilson, seconded by Mr. Kevin Webber was unanimously approved. Mr.
Slyman announced that the Executive Session would last 15 minutes.
The Alabama Space Science Exhibit Commission, Executive Committee, went into Executive
Session at 9: 11 a.m. to discuss the candidate's general reputation, character and professional
competence, pursuant to Section 36-25A-7(a)(l) of the Alabama Open Meetings Act.
The Alabama Space Science Exhibit Commission, Executive Committee reconvened at 9:25 a.m.
Mr. Todd Slyman said a candidate was chosen by the Search Committee. Mr. Joe Collazo
announced the candidate is, Dr. Deborah Barnhart. Mr. Daniel Wilson said the Executive
Committee was charged with, and authorized, to negotiate a proposed contract with the candidate
selected and recommended by the Search Committee, approved by the Executive Committee,
subject to approval by the full Commission. Mr. Wilson said he and Mr. Slyman negotiated a
proposed employment contract with Dr. Barnhart. Mr. Wilson passed out the proposed
Executive Director Employment Contract. Mr. Kevin Webber asked Mr. Wilson to summarize
the contract. Mr. Wilson said Mr. John Wilmer, Attorney and Mr. Stan Gregory, U.S. Space &
Rocket Center's attorney took the existing C.E.O's contract and provided input into the revised

EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE
contract. Mr. Evans Quinlivan asked before Mr. Wilson continued for Mr. Joe Collazo to give a
quick process of what the Search Committee went through for the sake of the people who
stepped back into the meeting after the Executive Session. Mr. Collazo said the Search
Committee was appointed by the Chair to consist of Mr. Don Davidson, Ms. Bhavani Kakani,
Ms. Linda Maynor, Ms. Irma Tudor, and himself. Despite the strength of judgment of the Search
Committee members they sought counsel from the U.S. Rocket Center's (USSRC) Human
Resources department for the best practices. An ad ran in the Huntsville Times, the Birmingham
News, and on Linkedln (nationwide), starting on Wednesday, November 24. The response to
date is 73 resumes. Four (4) candidates who met the qualifications were interviewed. Out of the
four candidates the Search Committee unanimously recommended Dr. Deborah Barnhart to the
Executive Committee.
Mr. Wilson said the contract that everyone has received, is the contract he and Mr. Slyman have
discussed the contact with Dr. Barnhart and she agreed to it except for one item that is not in
there yet. It is a two (2) year contract, base salary $195,000 and same car allowance provided to
Mr. Larry Capps. Mr. Don Davidson pointed out that the contract needs to be to 2012, the
correction was noted. Mr. Wilson continued that the benefits are the same (hospitalization,
major medical coverage, etc), other insurance coverage the same as any full-time employee, and
three (3) weeks annual vacation (consistent and standard with someone of her stature, at an
executive level). The things that are different on this contract from Mr. Larry Capps' agreement
is Mr. Capps was an automatically renewing three year contract and Dr. Barnhart's is a two year
agreement. This contract has a termination upon 60-days notice and can be terminated with the
same buy-out provision at anytime for the lesser of one year's salary or whatever the remaining
term of the contract is. There is also the ability to "terminate for cause" which is strengthened
over what was in Mr. Capps' agreement. It can also be terminated upon mutual agreement of the
parties. The economics are the $195,000 base salary plus the car allowance. The one thing not
in that needs to be added is a relocation allowance; Dr. Barnhart is currently living in the Tampa,
Florida area. Mr. Wilson said he and Mr. Slyman have discussed a one-time $20,000 relocation
allowance which is reasonable and consistent with bringing in an executive from out-of-state (not
in the agreement) and will need to be added. Mr. Wilson said the next step is to approve this
agreement to the two year term with the relocation provision and authorize Mr. Slyman to sign
and then for Dr. Barnhart to sign. There is a provision that does say, the agreement is subject to
approval by the full Commission. At this point we would reach an agreement with her and then
it will be presented to the full Commission for their approval. Mr. Wilson made a motion to add
the $20,000 relocation clause and the edit for the two year term to the agreement; then Mr.
Slyman is authorized to sign this contract and offer it to Dr. Barnhart; Mr. Don Davidson
seconded the motion. Mr. Slyman said the motion has been made, seconded, and asked if there
was any discussion. Mr. Webber asked if the relocation included moving and temporary lodging.
Mr. Quinlivan said he apologized for interrupting but the way he understands this is that Dr.
Barnhart will be given the $20,000 and she will be responsible for it herself and Mr. Wilson said
that is correct, it is a relocation allowance. Mr. Webber said an allowance and lump sum is
different and that typically she should submit her expenses because some things are taxable. Mr.
Webber said the Center should have a policy. Mr. Collazo said a lump sum would be taxable.
Mr. Webber said it needs to be an allowance to include moving expenses and lodging for a
period of time. Mr. Don Davidson said $20,000 really is not a lot for moving expenses; moving

costs can be costly. Mr. Wilson asked if maybe the allowance should be increased. Mr.
Quinlivan said since it will be allowance that he suggests increasing it and Mr. Keith Smith
suggested maybe getting feed-back from Dr. Barnhart on what she feels is reasonable. Mr.
Collazo said the motion could be modified to authorize an increase in Dr. Barnhart's allowance.
Mr. Collazo moved to modify the motion to give negotiation authority up to and to exceed
$30,000 for Dr. Barnhart's relocation allowance; Mr. Kevin Webber seconded the motion. Mr.
Slyman asked if there was any discussion on the amended motion making the relocation
allowance from $20,000 to $30,000. The motion stays the same as Mr. Wilson originally made,
with this amended motion to not exceed a relocation allowance of $30,000, the motion was
unanimously approved.

• The Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR) Coastal Remote Monitoring System
Phase II project continues on schedule. Four camera platforms have been built and tested, three of
which have been successfully installed. Turquoise Place, Gulf State Pier, and Perdido Pass sites remain
to be installed. FLIRTMis working to get a demonstration unit of the PT-606 camera with new Color
Night Vision capability and will arrange for a demonstration on Dauphin Island as soon as a demo unit
is available. The intermittent "video noise" issue in the Ft. Morgan camera has been isolated to a
grounding issue on the Coast Guard Tower. A Jensen Video Isolation Transformer ("Ground Interrupt
Device") has been acquired and will be install at Fort Morgan later this month. The Memorandum of
Understanding (MOU) between DCNR Marine Resources and a private ISP has been finalized. The
MOU will provide a backup data path for the Coastal Remote Monitoring System.
Bosch passed along an interview request they received from the editor of Security Director News as a
result of the recent press release and case study about the Coastal Remote Monitoring System. Security
News is a business newspaper for security practitioners. They are interested in speaking with Major
Blankenship about our work on the Coast. We are working to coordinate the interview.
Preliminary planning for Phase III has identified 6 more sites likely to be developed for installation of
surveillance platforms for the Coastal Remote Monitoring System. GTAC is currently preparing a cost
estimate for those identified sites.
• The National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI) Cooperative Agreement Program CAP 3 Grant "Fifty
States Initiative" in Alabama is nearing completion. The review committee has scheduled a conference
call Tuesday, January 18th to begin the task of reviewing the final plan. The review committee will
prepare its recommendations and present them to the full GIS Advisory Committee on Thursday,
January 20th• Additionally, both committees will be reviewing the results of stakeholder feedback and
survey information gathered during five CAP3 regional meeting held in November.
• The GIS Advisory Committee continues to build collateral material to assist with the transition of new
members to the GIS Executive Committee. The Education/Outreach subcommittee is working on the
communications plan for the transition. Overall development of the state geospatial portfolio continues.
The portfolio is designed to be an organized presentation of agency/organization geospatial projects,
services, capabilities and investments that best describe our current geospatial status. The geospatial
portfolio will help us effectively communicate Alabama's Geospatial capability to our legislators,
decision makers, and administrator as well as assist us in state and federal funding opportunities.
The GIS Advisory Committee's content management system and web portal development continues. A
"stakeholder" role has been created and a "Strategic Plan" forum has been added to facilitate discussion
and comment on the planning process/implementation with committee members. Both new features
came about as a result of stakeholder feedback and will accommodate the outreach needs of stakeholders
in various localities throughout the state. All portal members are now able to see this new forum.
Functionality has been expanded to include a "Public Content" capability.
• GT AC completed a request for a GIS analysis of the ticket sales for the Narnia traveling exhibit. The
