I. IBCC Report:
Eric Wilkinson:
--IBCC approved By-Laws with minor changes; Charter and By-laws now in
place;
--Discussion re: working groups: 1) subcommittees: education and outreach
programs; consensus that there are multiple entities focusing on education:
how to utilize those efforts without compromising those entities' outreach
efforts or IBCC
--Needs assessment assistance: how best to approach needs of various
roundtables; Wilkinson volunteered for this subcommittee; idea of single
contractor statewide was discussed and seemed to be supported to provide
uniformity state-wide; discussion on applicability of SWSI results and how
those should be utilized to move forward with uniformity;
--Discussion re: criteria guidelines for utilization of funds for SB 179: Water
Reserve Account: Criteria for disposition of funds must be developed jointly
by IBCC and CWBC; South Platte Roundtable discussed these criteria at end
of meeting; see notes at the end of these minutes on South Platte preference
vis a vis criteria for SB 179 funding;
-- Discussion of use of facilitation team by IBCC; consensus of group that a
facilitation team is beneficial; DNR will procure those services; if individual
roundtables want to utilize facilitators.
--Next Meeting ofIBCC: August 9 in Pueblo; Morning meeting in order to
coincide with the AK Roundtable; SWSI Phase II will take place then.
--re: need to decide on proxy or alternate; if we have alternate, that alternate
must be committed to being there at all meetings; what direction would our
reps suggest; seek direction from Russell George of what other roundtables
are doing;
-- If the roundtable chooses alternates, those alternates must be in attendance
at all times so that they are fully up to speed at any time; as per proxies:
likelihood that either Shimmin or Wilkinson absent at anyone time, unlikely,
so either Shimmin or Wilkinson could be each other's alternate.

Mike Shimmin:
