<br />Mr. Rick Rrown <br />Intrastate Water Management and Development Section <br />.January 11, 2007 <br />Page 2 <br /> <br />After the ballots were filled out, they were collected by Rod Sharp, the CSU <br />Extension Liaison, and were counted and transcribed to poster sheet. The By-Laws of the <br />Colorado Basin Roundtable require a two-thirds majority vote of those present for any <br />action, and thus 18 votes were rcquired to support funding any proposal. With the <br />exception of the Eagle Park Reservoir Enlargment Project, only the projects which were <br />not recommended by the Roundtable for further consideration actually reccived any <br />recorded "NO" votes. The Eagle Park Project received one "NO" vote, with 2 other <br />ballots in which no vote was cast. In all other cases, individuals chose to not cast a vote <br />in a particular category for a particular project, rather than casting a "NO" vote. All <br />ballots were retained in the records of the Roundtable. <br /> <br />As a result of the discussion, review and balloting, the Colorado Basin <br />Roundtable wishes to recommend the following projects for funding, to be considered at <br />the March meeting of the Colorado Water Conservation Board. <br /> <br />SB 179 BASIN FUNDS <br /> <br />Roaring Fork Watershed Assessment <br />Grand County Streamflow Management Plan <br /> <br />SB 179 STATEWIDE FUNDS <br />Acquisition of Vail Ditch by Grand County Interests <br />Enlargement of Eagle Park Reservoir <br />Energy Development Water Necds Assessment <br />Upper Colorado Endangered Fish Recovery Program m Alternatives Analysis <br /> <br />The project recommended for Statewide funds were so recommended because <br />they attempted to address multi-Basin issues and/or had multi-basin Roundtable <br />support. <br />a) The Acquisition of Vail Ditch is supported by Denver Water, and is an <br />eflort by Grand County entities to provide local solutions to water <br />shOliages due to trans basin diversions. <br />b) The Enlargement of Eagle Park Reservoir is a continuation of the actions <br />initiated in the Eagle River MOU, an agreement among various Eagle <br />River Basin entities and the Homestake Partners. <br />c) The Energy Development Water Needs Assessment is a joint project of <br />the Colorado Basin and the Y ampa- White Basin Roundtables in <br />identifying and responding to the coming demands of major energy <br />development in Garfield, Mesa, Rio Blanco and Moffat Counties. <br />d) The Upper Colorado Endangered Fish Recovery Prob,Tfam - Altemative <br />Analysis is a project currently supported by the Colorado Basin, South <br />Platte Basin and Metro Basin Roundtables, with support from the <br />
