<br />Colorado Water for the 21st Century <br />Metro Roundtable - Meeting Minutes <br /> <br />January 10, 2007 4:00 - 6:10 PM <br />Koelbel Library <br /> <br />Doug Scott chaired the meeting. <br /> <br />Chips Barry reported on the IBCC meeting in November. He expects that the <br />next IBCC meeting on February 2 will include a discussion of Colorado River <br />Compact matters. <br /> <br />Rick Brown reported that the deadline for SB-179 submissions is January 11. He <br />described the general scope of activities that might be covered by SB-179 funds. <br />He reported generally on the Gunnison, Colorado, and Yampa roundtable <br />meetings. <br /> <br />There was a general discussion of potential legislation during 2007 that might <br />affect potential water transfers and water supply development studies in <br />Colorado. <br /> <br />Sue Morea and Rick Brown presented and led a discussion of a chart, in draft <br />form, entitled "Technical Support to Basin Roundtables and IBCC" for the Metro <br />Roundtable. They indicated that the chart, together with other similar charts for <br />the other roundtables, would become available for review online as these charts <br />are refined in the near-future. <br /> <br />There was a general discussion of funding opportunities and challenges to move <br />forward with "Addressing the Gap" alternatives that were considered by the Metro <br />Roundtable at its November meeting. <br /> <br />Tracy Bouvette presented an overview of the status for the Chatfield Reservoir <br />reallocation study, noting that there is a funding shortfall of $130,000 in order to <br />maintain continuity in the EIS and feasibility report process. He reported that the <br />South Platte Basin roundtable recently approved $27,000 for funding of the <br />Chatfield study, based on the percentage of the 20,600 acre-feet of Chatfield <br />storage that will be used by non-Denver Metro water users. After discussion, the <br />Metro Roundtable voted unanimously (17 members present) to approve an <br />application for use of $103,000 from SB-179 funds from the Metro Roundtable <br />allocation, to be used for furtherance of the Chatfield Reservoir study. <br /> <br />The next meeting is scheduled for February 7, location to be announced. <br /> <br />Prepared by: Gary Thompson <br />February 4, 2007 <br /> <br />Page I of 1 <br />
