May 7, 2007 4. Project Proposals Ralph Grover moved to accept the three projects as recommended by the Project Screening Committee (PSC). The motion was seconded by Pete Kasper. The motion carried unanimously. Mr. Tom Howe told the Roundtable that the Overland Ditch and Reservoir Company are reconsidering their strategy and their proposal would again be amended and resubmitted to the PSC for consideration this month. They plan to submit yet another proposal in March 2008. 5. Meeting Truancy Michelle Pierce began a discussion regarding truancy (her favorite subject), and asked how the Roundtable wanted to proceed with this problem. David Baumgarten being absent, could not comment on his truancy. Hank Hotze discussed his reasons for missing meetings and that they were personal. No action was recommended or taken on behalf of Mr. Hotze. Discussion continued about the issue of truancy and of quorum and super-majority requirements. A number of ideas were again revisited (altemates and proxies). John McClow suggested that the idea of altemates or proxies, as they relate to At-Large members is quite different than for an entity that was given the right by statute to be part of the Roundtable. Bill Trampe cautioned the group that it has taken 18 months to get the core group educated and would not like to see this effort wasted. Hugh Sanburg said the By- Laws committee would meet and consider some of these ideas for the Roundtable. Hugh thought the super majority change that was recently instituted has not been tested but that the quorum and attendance issues could be discussed. Michelle Pierce asked the Roundtable if they thought the By-Laws needed some attention they relate to these matters. There were very few members responding. Michelle summarized the discussion by stating that it was the general consensus of the group that there is no reason to change the By-Laws as they stand. 6. Resignations Steve Allen, Fruitland Mesa Water Mesa Conservancy District, and Lynn Connaughton, Ouray County Representative resigned from the Gunnison Basin Roundtable. Ken Spann requested that a letter be sent to them thanking them for their service, and Michelle Pierce agreed to do this. It was also agreed that it was appropriate to request a letter from those who resign, so that a record could be kept of their resignations. Next Meeting The next meeting of the Gunnison Basin Roundtable will be June 4, 2007. Ad iourn There being no further business to come before the Roundtable, the meeting adjoumed at 7: 11 pm. ~ Mike Berry, Recorder 5
