Tom Sharp was nominated and elected as chairman. It was <br />agreed that one vice chair would be elected from each basin. David Smith was elected <br />vice chair from the White River Basin. Darryl Steele was elected vice chair from the <br />Yampa Basin. Bob Weiss was elected recording secretary. <br /> <br />The functions of the 27-member Interbasin Compact Committee were discussed. The <br />functions of the two representatives from each Roundtable were discussed. Darryl Steele, <br />Mary Brown and Dan Birch were nominated as the Y amp a- White Roundtable <br />representatives to the Interbasin Compact Committee. Dan)'l Steele and Dan Birch were <br />elected. <br /> <br />The process to adopt the Bylaws was discussed. There are two drafts available as a <br />starting point, which have been distributed. <br /> <br />The Bylaw Committee was appointed, whose members are the officers (Tom Sharp, <br />David Smith, Darryl Steele, Bob Weiss) and Mary Brown and Jeff Devere. The Bylaws <br />were discussed in concept. <br /> <br />It was suggested that two separate standing committees be appointed, one for the White <br />and one for the Yampa. After discussion, this suggestion was not approved. <br /> <br />Several other suggestions were made by individual Roundtable members, but no <br />consensus was requested, including the suggestion that decisions be made by consensus, <br />that there be a supermajority voting requirement on some matters, and that Roberts Rules <br />of Order be adopted. It was agreed that these matters, along with the question of <br />staggered terms and the method of selection of Roundtable members for each term would <br />be considered after the recommendations of the Bylaw Committee were received. <br />
