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 required to support funding any proposal. <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 /> SB 179 BASIN FUNDS <br /> Roaring Fork Watershed Assessment <br /> Grand County Streamflow Management Plan <br /> SB 170 STATEWIDE FUNDS <br /> Acquisition of Vail Ditch by Grand County Interests <br /> Enlargement of Eagle Park Reservoir <br /> Energy Development Water Needs Assessment <br />Upper Colorado Endangered Fish Recovery Program ? Alternatives Analysis <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 />effort by Grand County entities to provide local solutions to water <br />shortages due to transbasin 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 Yampa-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 Program ? Alternative <br />Analysis is a project currently supported by the Colorado Basin, South <br />Platte Basin and Metro Basin Roundtables, with support from the <br />Arkansas Basin Roundtable, and is intended to identify a permanent <br />supply of 10,825 Acre Feet of annual yield to assist with the recovery of <br />the Endangered Colorado River fishes, an obligation of all of the water <br />users from the Upper Colorado Basin. <br />By this letter, I am forwarding the ballot tabulation from the December meeting, as <br />well as the applications and supporting materials for these projects. <br />
