Bill 1. summarizes candidates for non-voting members; discussion ensues about whether
the Round Table should expand the interpretation of the statute beyond the number
"three" stated in the statute.

Motion: Steve Spann moves to vote on additional nonvoting members following the
discussion and adoption of the bylaws; Harold Evans seconds; motion passes.

I. Discussion of Bylaws:
Steve Simms presents summary of draft of bylaws and the explanation of the process:
Members have copies of bylaws as well as summary.
Simms reviews:
1) Eric and his staff from Natural Resources prepared a template bylaws that many
roundtables are using; much of that is set forth in the statute; modified fi'om 10
pages to 5 pages; parts will be dealt with separately;
2) Preamble: Reference to the statute; purpose is to govern the deliberations; thus,
many of the goals and purposes are provided; this is an organizational document;
3) Section 1 of Article 1: Selected office and address: is Board of County
Commissioners in Weld County;
4) Purpose, goals and objectives will be decided in later meetings ofRd Table
meetings; these will be dealt with separate resolutions; need subcommittee to
draft these for consideration by Round Table; (subcommittee volunteers are listed
below in these minutes)
5) Article 2 per Statute: of note: Terms: All shall serve a term of5 year terms; how
to stagger: All parties appointed by counties: 3 years; All municipalities: 4 years;
everyone else: 5 years. Thus, if your term comes up, reelected or appointed for
another telm of2 years: Other ideas were alphabetical, etc. Discussion: we will
know in 3 years if this Rd Table will be efficacious;
6) Article 3: Template suggests 2 Vice Chairs; these bylaws suggest 151 Vice Chair
and 2nd Vice Chair; suggestion of 1 Vice Chair did not seem wise because in a
group like this the more officers the better because of amount of work.
7) Qualifications per the statute: if disqualified as member, no longer officer;
8) IBCC Reps in this section because this section provides for bylaws;
9) Section 7: Terms of2 years;
