Discussion on the development of a Future I B CC Mission Statement and Workplan

The facilitators raised the issue of whether the IBCC wanted to engage in a strategic planning
process to more clearly define its mission statement and plan specific activities for the first six
months of 2007. Moore refer red the committee to its Charter and activities defined for the
Committee. An extended discussion followed with members raising and discussing the
following points:

?

The IBCC is in a unique position to look at and make recommendations on state - wide
Colora do water issues , which bridge topics being addressed by specific basins. The
Committee should focus on the intersection of water issues where multiple basins could , are
or will be involved. This focus relates to , and will impac t state water policy issue s.

?

The Committee should also be open to expand ing its focus be yond water and keep the pulse
on activities in the planning and development arenas , which will have significant impacts on
water availability and use.

?

The Committee should focus on an exam ination of individual basin roundtable strategies that
may or will have impacts on regions or t he State as a whole .

?

The Committee should encourage agreements between basins that will promote positive
consequences for individual basins, regions within th e State and the State as a whole, and
minimize any unintended negative impacts.

?

The Committee needs to move forward in developing a vision for the development,
management and use of water in Colorado, but the process will need to be conducted over a
num ber of months and be based on the results of individual Roundtables’ Needs Assessments
