<br />Draft <br /> <br />Randy See indicated that he has put his name forward for the environmental <br />gubernatorial appointment. <br /> <br />Bill Ferguson said that he believes that representatives should come from this roundtable <br />and that because of the philosophical split in the basin one should come from the Upper <br />portion of the basin and one from the Lower. Ralph Grover agreed with both of Mr. <br />Ferguson's comments. <br /> <br />Director George was asked what the time commitment was for the Interbasin Compact <br />Committee. He indicated that it would likely be one day meeting once a month. He did <br />not know at this point how many months but the Charter was due by July 1 st of next year. <br />The charter was the first and main task of the IBCC right now. <br /> <br />Bill Ferguson asked if there would assistance for travel and lodging. Director George <br />indicated that the Department of Natural Resources could do reimbursement for mileage <br />and possibly one night of lodging. This may change next year as he will seek more <br />funding from the legislature for the process to continue. <br /> <br />Tyler Martineau stated that he believed that the group needed to pass it by-laws before it <br />selected the IBCC members. He expressed concerns that the by-laws alone were a lot to <br />cover at the next meeting. The IBCC selection was a crucial step and should not be <br />rushed. <br /> <br />Marc Catlin stated that he felt it was to the group's advantage to get the IBCC <br />representatives in place as soon as possible so as not to fall behind the other basins. <br />Director George indicated that the Y amp a- White was the only basin to as of yet select its <br />IBCC members. The Arkansas roundtable meets again on Thursday and they may get to <br />this. All the other are going to be meeting again in November or early December and <br />have this done. <br /> <br />Bill Ferguson reiterated his belief that it would be helpful to have a list of those willing. <br />Bill Trampe stated that it was not just a matter of willingness but of strategy for the IBCC <br />as well. <br /> <br />John McClow moved to table consideration until get all additional 10 seats filled. 2nd??? <br />Motion carried. <br /> <br />Eric Hecox stated that there two more candidates received 2/3rds vote - they are David <br />Baumgarten and Mike Ahlberg. <br /> <br />Discussion ensued about the role of Redlands. Tom Huerkamp moved to hold the final <br />seat open for Redlands, and if they do not want it, then finish the selection process. Tyler <br />Martineau seconded. <br /> <br />14 <br />
