Roundtable Membership

These Basin Roundtables are permanent structures setup to facilitate discussions on water management issues and to
encourage locally driven collaborative solutions. The broad-based, collaborative nature of this process is reflected in the
roundtable membership. The roundtables are made up of a set of "designated members," ten "at-large" members, and three
I
non-voting members, as shown in Table 1-1.

The CWCS member from the basin will serve as the liaison between the Roundtable and the CWCS.

This roundtable membership not only broadens the range of stakeholders that will actively participate in Colorado's future
water decisions, but it creates a locally driven proce~s, Of all of the roundtable members, only three, the non-voting
members may reside outside the roundtable's boundaries. All other roundtable members must be local stakeholders
residing inside the basin. While the number of roun~table members differs between the roundtables and in some cases
may be quite large, this membership formula is designed to ensure that all stakeholders and the general public are fully
represented.

Basin Roundtable Responsibilities

The responsibilities of the basin roundtables can be grouped into three categories: procedural responsibilities, substantive
responsibilities, and public involvement responsibilities.

Procedural

Each roundtable must adopt by-laws that include thE! roundtable's goals, objectives, and operating procedures. These
bylaws will reflect the specific needs of the roundtable and reflect the uniqueness of each basin. In conjunction with
adopting by-laws, each roundtable may also decide ~pon leadership positions. Suggestions for these positions include a
chairperson, 2 vice-chairpersons, and a recording s~cretary.

Substantive

Once the procedural responsibilities are completed, the roundtable's substantive work can begin. Each roundtable has the
power to select two members of the Interbasin Compact Committee. Each roundtable will appoint two, and the appointees
do not need to be members of the roundtable. I
