<br />Tom Iseman: Non-consumptive needs? This would be addressed through <br />the state wide basin; important that this be on the table because it will be <br />crucial that we continue to work on non-consumptive needs. <br />Wilkinson: No disagreement; wanted to show difference in basins. <br />Harold Evans: Consumable effluent reuse: this will increase gap; <br />while these four refinements being done, nothing to stop us from working <br />on wet water projects. <br />Frank Eckhardt: Contract with which consultants? <br />Hecox: DNR has a contract with CDM; thus with CDM and their team. <br />Eckhardt: thus, cap on price and scope of work, yes? <br />Jerke: And the time frame will be addressed such that the consultants <br />understand we do not need to spend 2 years to do these studies, yes? <br />Darling: 2 and 3 play into each other: reuse will indeed impact <br />administration; thus, these are particularly interwoven. <br />Jerke: The contractor must know that on the record, they must be diligent <br />and efficient. <br />V ote: Unanimous vote for the Motion. <br /> <br />II.
