<br />Lisa McVicker: Motion to adopt the nine objectives of SWSI as objectives <br />of the South Platte Basin Roundtable. <br /> <br />John Metli: Second <br /> <br />Discussion and call for vote: Carries unanimously. <br /> <br />2. Consideration of adoption of interim basin-wide water needs <br />assessment: <br />Bill Jerke asks for language from 1177: <br /> <br />--Russell George from 1177: "... using Data and information from <br />SWSI and other appropriate sources and in cooperation with the <br />ongoing SWSI.. . develop a basin-wide consumptive and <br />nonconsumptive water needs and supply assessment;.. <br />Conduct an analysis of available unapproriated waters within the basin <br />and propose projects and stmctures for meeting those needs and <br />utilizing those waters where appropriate..." <br /> <br />--Bill Jerke: thus, it is a mandate from the legislature; we have put the <br />word interim in here because there will be times that we may adopt new <br />information and needs that may be faced by various water providers. <br /> <br />Discussion: Jerke believes that it adopting SWSI report as our needs <br />assessment would be a useful statting point and go forward with knowing <br />that we are able to input new information or technology; <br /> <br />--Fred Walker: Agrees; this would be the place to start, then as our <br />committee goes through our needs assessment can add to it; also, note that <br />there are fewer of us at our meetings, and that few of us would have the <br />time to commit to the study that SWSI has done; <br /> <br />Jerke: Clearly, we need to be able to amend the assessment as new info <br />comes forth. <br /> <br />Harold Evans: <br />1) Act talks about using the SWSI report and other sources of <br />information; once you dig into the SWSI you will see exhaustive <br />information; if, for example, you came back to Greeley we would give <br />same answers as we gave to SWSI so our answers as per needs assessment <br />will not have changed that much; <br />2) As per the SWSI conservation committee, human behavior changing <br />For instance, Denver has announced a 20% goal.. .don't know if that will <br />work; thus for us to say our goals will be a certain amount, this is <br /> <br />7 <br />
