<br />2-28 House Committee amended to appropriations <br /> <br />Page 9 of 22 <br /> <br />Madame Chair: <br /> <br />Rep. PelllY <br /> <br />Madame Chair: <br /> <br />Rep. PelllY <br /> <br />Madame Chair: <br /> <br />Rep. PelllY <br /> <br />Okay. How do these people get on - so this is not exactly a new <br />roundtable, the Metro one in VIII. I'm trying to figure out how the <br />people get on the roundtable. <br /> <br />Well, we'll get to that. In terms of being appointed? Yeah, we'll <br />get to that. <br /> <br />Sorry, okay, we can do that then. <br /> <br />That's actually our next amendment. <br /> <br />All right. We'll go to that on Page 8 unless people are wondering <br />what's going on? Okay. So now we're on each roundtable, how <br />they'll be made up. <br /> <br />One of the things you'll remember from the testimony was the <br />concern articulated that the SWSI roundtables may not in every <br />example be broadly representative of every group with a stake in <br />this discussion. And so what we did is we really tried to distill <br />down in very specific terms who was gonna be at this roundtable, <br />so that everybody knew that they were gonna have a seat or a <br />number of seats as part of this process. <br /> <br />And so we can go through just briefly what they are and then field <br />any questions. Each roundtable shall consist of the following <br />members - and all of these members with one exception actually <br />have to live within the boarders of the basin roundtables. They'll <br />have two members appointed by the county, unless it's a city <br />county like Denver, in which, the same concept, they would get <br />two appointees and at least one of those appointees can't be an <br />employee of the county. With the thought being, we don't want <br />just government types, we certainly don't want just government <br />types, we want really people who are in water to be part of this <br />conversation and have a stake in the water management. So, that's <br />I. <br /> <br />II gives every conversancy district and conservation district a seat <br />at every roundtable, one seat. The chairs of the House, Ag, <br />Livestock and Natural Resources Committee will have, in both the <br />House and the Senate, will have a single appointment. <br /> <br />The fourth category is ten at-large representatives appointed by the <br />roundtable members that we just talked about from I, II, and III. <br />One of whom shall represent environmental interests, agricultural <br />interests, recreation interests, municipal or local water provider <br /> <br />www.escriptionist.com <br /> <br />Page 9 of 22 <br />
