<br />o <br /> <br />Mr. David Brenn and Mr. James Rogers <br />December I, 1999 <br /> <br />Page 6 <br /> <br />N <br />... <br />en <br />J- <br /> <br />--1997. According to my notes of the December 9,1997 meeting 0fthe Arkansas <br />River Compact Administration, action concerning acceptance of the 1997 report <br />was to be deferred to a special meeting of the Administration. <br /> <br />--1998. In reliance upon my notes of the December 7,1998 meeting of this <br />committee and the unedited transcript of the December 8,1998 meeting of the <br />Arkansas River Compact Administration, I recommended but failed to describe <br />on the record, corrections to Table X of the 1998 report. A corrected replacement <br />page will be submitted to the Operations Committee and distributed to address <br />this problem on December 6 1999. <br /> <br />No action was taken by the Arkansas River Compact Administration concerning <br />acceptance of the 1998 report of the Operations Secretary. However, the <br />Operations Secretary and the Assistant Operations Secretary were directed to <br />meet for the purposes of clarifying and attempting to resolve issues of concern <br />pertaining to the 12~,J..227-,-!ill-d1998 reports of the Operations Secretary that <br />had been or that may be raised by the Assistant Operations Secretary. Both the <br />Operations Committee and the Engineering Committee were to be involved as <br />deemed appropriate following initial discussions. (It is my understanding that the <br />Engineering Committee's involvement would be for the limited purpose of <br />quantifYing injury, if any were to be discovered, pursuant to Section V of the <br />1980 Operating plan.) Chairman Trujillo requested that a schedule for these <br />proceedings be prepared. <br /> <br />By letter dated December 14,1998 to the Assistant Operations Secretary, which <br />was copied to the Administration and others, an initial schedule of discussions <br />was proposed. Through subsequent correspondence dated December 18, 1998, <br />January 21, 1999, and February 2, 1999, which were similarly distributed, <br />adoption and revision of this schedule was documented. <br /> <br />During the year, four days of meetings between the Operations Secretary and the <br />Assistant Operations Secretary and their staff members were conducted. These <br />occurred in Pueblo, Colorado on January 14, 1999 and February 25, 1999 and in <br />Garden City, Kansas on April 8 and 9, 1999. <br /> <br />The primary focus of each of these meetings was to understand and respond to the <br />issues of concern preliminarily raised by the Assistant Operations Secretary in his <br />verbal comments to the Operations Committee on December 7, 1998 and to the <br />Arkansas River Compact Administration meeting on December 8, 1998 as revised <br />and extended by the Assistant Operations Secretary Report, dated January 13, <br />1999. By the end of the April 9, 1999 meeting, it was the intention of the <br />participants to advise the Administration of the status of discussions regarding the <br />various issues through ajoint report to the Operations Committee. Although this <br />
