<br />be... if we stay in the 179 process, this is essential. The other way around that <br />would be a group of entities that would singularly go for studies; this will not <br />be well received by Yampa. Yes if this roundtable, Metro and AK were <br />possibly to go with us, and went to Yampa with olive branch, perhaps would <br />be a good idea and to see what feedback from Yampa. <br /> <br />Jerke: We need to understand what risk this could be for proponent <br />(Northern)...is roundtable process helpful or not? <br /> <br />Janet: Would like to enteltain a motion that invited the meeting to occur to <br />talk about these mutual benefits so that Yampa concerns would be built into <br />scope of next study. <br /> <br />Jerke: Motion would have to come fi"om NOlthern. <br /> <br />Wilkinson: NOlthern is an advocate for project, not proponent. If the project <br />gets built, money will come from proponents. If project moves forward, must <br />be a wide community project. Yampa roundtable meets quarterly. <br /> <br />Howard: We meet in March; this should be on table for March. Agree with <br />Shimmin; this is an opportunity to put these roundtables together and have <br />something drafted for March meeting. <br /> <br />Shimmin: Wilkinson could put pen to paper to have something we could adopt <br />in March and take them in April. . . to commence dialogue with them. <br />Personally convinced that if this process is going to work, we have to get <br />different basins to work on projects that is beneficial for each basin; we must <br />bring all of these needs to table; honest assessment of what it takes, and go for <br />it... this is ideal opportunity to commence interbasin dialogue; then start to put <br />together application for 179 basin fi"om bottom up, basin of origin and <br />receiving basin to work together. <br /> <br />Willkinson: Northern is going to make presentations to metro and AK; <br />optimally if we could get all three basins to sign on... this would be better <br />stroke. <br /> <br />Hecox: Perhaps more beneficial to give presentation, gauge feedback, then go <br />back after Metro and Arkansas presentations. <br /> <br />Wilkisnon: would feel more comfortable getting a gauge from them then <br />volley back... <br /> <br />Don Ament: Dept of Ag every 5 years does survey of population; growing <br />sympathy there for agriculture. Sooner you take pressure off, off Gunnison, <br />Rio Grande, once you put a project together, this would take pressure off <br />everyone in state. <br /> <br />8 <br />
