Revised: 7/26/2007 <br /> <br />4. Timeframe <br />Importance <br />This component is two fold. First, lasting compacts take time. Patience is needed <br />because the longer discussions continue the more likely the parties will drift towards a <br />middle ground. However, there must also be some pres sure so negotiations do not result <br />in endless gridlock. <br /> <br />Second, entering compact negotiations must be voluntary, but the process will not work <br />unless all compacts are negotiated within the same timeframe. <br /> <br />Ideas/Suggestions <br />? <br /> <br />Stable and consistent politic al and financial support will be important for allowing the <br />time necessary for negotiations. <br /> <br />A well designed Compact Commission, adequate basin representation, and <br />o <br />broader public participation and buy - in will provide the needed consistent <br />political support . <br /> <br />Consistent financial support will come from long - term funding mechanisms, <br />o <br />including CWCB funds (see #10). <br />? <br /> <br />All compacts must be negotiated within the same timeframe. <br /> <br />Anticipated Course of Action <br />? <br /> <br />The design of the compact negotiation framework will provid e the necessary political <br />support. <br />? <br /> <br />Long - term funding mechanisms will be pursued to provide consistent financial support. <br />? <br /> <br />Strong leadership from the Compact Commission will be used to convince all parties that <br />it is in their best interest to negotiate compa cts within the same timeframe. However, the <br />ultimate decision to voluntarily enter the process is up to the stakeholders. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />5. Umbrella Organization – The Colorado Interbasin Compact Commission <br />Importance <br />Outside leadership will be critical to keep the parti es at the table and expand the <br />traditional thought processes. Leadership must be able to convince others of their <br />fairness, ability, kindness, and wisdom. <br /> <br />It is anticipated that legislative action in 2005 will establish the institutional framework <br />for in terbasin compact negotiations. This framework could take a variety of shapes. <br />However, agreement is coalescing around the establishment of an umbrella organization. <br />This “Colorado Interbasin Compact Commission” (Compact Commission) would guide <br />and overs ee the compact negotiation process. Details on the Compact Commission will <br />be outlined in a separate document, however a components include: <br />? <br /> <br />The Governor (through DNR) will have to expend political capital to move <br />the process along. <br />? <br /> <br />The Governor will appo int the head of the Compact Commission (The <br />Compact Commissioner). <br />3 <br />
