The Yampa River Management Plan's Cooperative Agreement needs to be <br />completed by the end of calendar year 2003. We have commented on the need to <br />expedite efforts associated with the Yampa River Programmatic Biological <br />Opinion in these reports in prior years and again reemphasize this need. <br /> <br />2. Wyoming looks forward to better reporting from the National Fish and Wildlife <br />Foundation during the present and upcoming fiscal years relative to the <br />expenditure of Wyoming's capital construction cost-sharing funds that have been <br />contributed through transmittal to the Foundation. <br /> <br />3. During the past year, there were again, on several occasions, additional <br />discussions about providing "credit" or acknowledging and accordingly <br />bookkeeping costs being incurred by a funding participant as expenditures that <br />reduce the cost-share to be contributed in future years. We recommend that, to <br />the greatest possible extent, we collectively avoid additional discussions of these <br />matters in future years. To the best of our present day knowledge, there is no <br />"cushion" between estimated costs and the amount that will ultimately need to be <br />expended. <br /> <br />2003 Report Recommendations, <br />
