<br />
<br />Wa!fller reported that all members of the Committee are in agreement: the matter of
<br />rev~sing the State Statutes is most complex, due to the fact that during the past 100
<br />years many amendments have been approved by the Colorado State Legislature, and
<br />, that management practices ha.ve become extremely complicated because of individual
<br />Court decisions. He also said the Committee is very much interested in how the State
<br />will"select a succeSSor for State Engineer Ralph OWenl due to the fact the new man will
<br />be f~ced witb the responsibility of administering the Department under such new Legis-
<br />lation as is approved by the 1969 Colorado State Legislature. Young suggested that the
<br />Distpict must be very much interested in this matteI", and urged that we make every
<br />effort to have one member of our Board appointed to the oral examining Committee
<br />whiC;h will be a.ppointed by the Colorado State Civil Service Commission. Wagner moved,
<br />seconded by Young that President J. Sid Nicbols be suggested to serve on the Oral
<br />Examining C::>mmittee. Motion unanimously carried.
<br />
<br />After general discussion on the Legislative Committee report, Shoun moved, seconded
<br />by Wagner. that it be approved by the Board and forwarded to the appropriate Officials
<br />who are responsible for drafting proposed Water Legislation. Milenski objected in view
