Arkansas Basin Roundtable Meeting of January 9, 2006 Meeting Notes The meeting notes attempt to follow the agenda. 1. Chairman Hamel suggested revising the agenda as follows: By - Law Committee Report; Non - Voting Member Phil Overeynder, Roaring Fork River ; Planning for Upcoming Year; Presentation by Dr. Lyn Kathlene, and; to table the discussion of CSU Extension Service because Mr. Jeff Tranel was unable to attend the meeting. 2. The Recorder gave a By - Law Subcommittee report which was also provided to t he members in written form as the minutes of the committee meeting of January 6, 2006. Acknowledging a mistake following the by - laws when selecting the second IBCC Representative, the group agreed rd to recast the 3 ballot and follow the by - law procedures. The Chairman declared that, since there are now 50 seated voting members of the Roundtable, a quorum of three - fourths (3/4) needs 38 members present if rounding - up or 37 members if rounding - down. Mr. Reed Dils moved and Mr. Tom Verquer seconded a motio n to round - down to the next whole number to establish a quorum, which motion passed by a majority. The Chairman declared a quorum established. Because the number of ballots to be cast was 38, a two - thirds (2/3) majority was established as 25. Each Candi date spoke for approximately five minutes and a question and answer period followed each individual s remarks. In the third ballot, no Candidate received two - thirds of the votes, so = Mr. Dennis Smith was removed from the cadre of Candidates. In the fourth ballot, no Candidate received two - thirds of the votes, so Mr. Dan Hendrichs was removed from the cadre of Candidates. The fifth ballot was between the two remaining Candidates with Mr. Jeris Danielson selected by a simple majority of the votes as the sec ond IBCC Representative. 3. During the balloting, the Chairman called the question, by voice vote, of adding Mr. Phil Overeynder as a non - voting member. Mr. Overeynder was approved by consensus. 4.
