<br />watching process evolve. Eric thinks that as we move forward, he expects the top down <br />perception will lessen and that his role is to provide resources. <br /> <br />Eric related how some of the other Roundtables had been progressing. He reiterated that <br />Basin Roundtables can decide how to proceed. Some roundtables do not like what SWSI <br />did. Roundtables can decide what technical expertise you need to draw from. He <br />suggests we think more broadly beyond meeting to meeting toward what we wish to <br />accomplish in the next 6-9 months. Take time between now and mid-summer to educate <br />ourselves on research and technical base. Might be valuable to do our own presentations <br />related to various interests within the basin. We are in an education and information <br />gathering phase and going through that will help us gel as a roundtable. <br /> <br />Expect that our needs assessment from this basin will be less complex. We will have <br />charters and alternatives to react to from Phase 2 SWSI. We expect appropriations <br />fOlihcoming to help move process alone. No regulatory sticks but are hoping to capture <br />funding resources to proceed with identified research needs. Eric goes to most <br />roundtables. March 3 is the next meeting of the State IBCC. <br /> <br />It is critical that IBCC representatives gather input from basin roundtables. IBCC still <br />hopes to move fast and focus on areas where there is disagreement and iron out those <br />sections. Facilitators are setting up a comments sub-committee and they will pull <br />summary documents together. <br /> <br />NOlih Platte Roundtable will have another meeting Feb 22 at 1 pm in the FS conference <br />room. Kent and Carl, as the IBCC representatives would like the group to consider and <br />discuss ideas regarding the draft documents of the IBCC. Consider the following <br />questions. <br />Where do you agree with what is already written? <br />Where could you agree with what's written with minor modifications? <br />Identify areas that you think need more information before we can write it? <br />What parts of the documents do you disagree with? <br /> <br />Deb Alpe will submit the minutes to Eric and he will post them on the DNR website <br />under our roundtable section at www.dnr.state.co.us. <br /> <br />Kent noted that during our Feb 22 meeting we will attempt to set up a regular meeting <br />time and day or at least set up our next six meeting of the North Platte Roundtable. <br />
