Others present: <br />Alan Hamel, Bill Long, Bill Hancoc and Brett Schaeffer. <br /> <br />2. Chairman Jay Winner opened the meeting with a review of the minutes and the flow chart <br />d escribing the application and review process. Dan Henrichs motioned, Tom Verquer seconded <br />and the minutes were approved. The group determined that there are three tasks for the Needs <br />Subcommittee to perform in its review: a) Determining if an application ready to be reviewed: Is <br />the application complete? Is it a duplication of other work? Are there better funding sources? b) <br />A tally of members voting to recommend approval by the Roundtable (Yes), not recommend <br />approval by the Roundtable (No) or abstaini ng from voting for a reason they may state or choose <br />not to state. c) Should the application move forward for statewide funding or Basin O nly funding. <br /> The attached flow chart has been updated to reflect these three tasks. <br /> <br />3. SeEtta Moss commented on the importance of the process looking fair to the public as well as <br />being fair in practice. Specifically, she encouraged the group to avoid unfavorably considering a <br />request based solely on the ability of the applicant to provide a presentation. She also in formed <br />the group of the true status of funding request from the San Juan - Dolores Basin, thoroughly <br />discrediting Gary Barber’s comments made at the last subcommittee meeting. <br /> <br />4.
