<br />Harris Sherman: I t is i mportant to move these grants ahead, and revisit this issue b y <br />October. The process to be used will invo lve a IBCC/CWBC working group, and we can <br />b ring back what we’re thinking to IBCC and Roundtables and CWCB Board for <br />co nsideration and input. <br /> <br />T . Wright Dickinson: The i ntent of the legislation is that the process builds bridges and <br />doesn’t burn them. Our criteria and g uidelines should not allow projects to go through <br />that will promote more strife. <br /> <br />Sen. Jim I sgar: (In response to a question about the Long Bill) The Bill carried over $10 <br />million from last year to this year, and added $6 million in future years. We hope <br />severance tax income recovers so more money wil l be available in the future. We h ave to <br />be vigilant t o protect the money we do have for the Water Supply Reserve Account. If <br />we can show accomplishments, we may be able to get more dollars in the future. <br /> <br />Mike Shimmin: Need to ensure that applicants fill out the section on how their proposal <br />meets specific eligibility or threshold criteria for receiving funds. Response from Rick <br />Brown: The n ew application form says that applicant has to answer this to best of their <br />ability, but does not answer the question for them. <br /> <br />Harris Sherman: Thank Jim and Kathleen i n getting funding for our program and <br />extension for next year. It was a good result. Thank you for your support. <br /> <br />Eric Hecox: (In response to question about cash flow betwe en the state and basin <br />accounts) We will work with the IBCC/ CWBC Criteria and Guid elines work group to <br />figure out how this might work. The a mount of cash available may require adjustments <br />to accounts , and the IBCC can take up this issue in July. <br /> <br />Marc Catlin : Regarding the issue of a non - profit corp oration serving as the management <br />and banking entity for a project: w ould the non - profit have to contract through the state <br />for the work to be done? Response from Rick Brown: Once the State reaches an <br />agreement with the non - profit, other procurem ent is up to the non - profit. An <br />a dministrati on fee that is fair and reasonable may be charged. Marc: Is it possible for <br />roundtables to incorporate so that they could apply for monies and manage basin - wide <br />projects? Rick: F rom the State’s perspective as long as the entity has a valid tax status, i t <br />might work. <br /> <br />Mik e Shimmin: We might need a legislative amendment to allow roundtables to be <br />eligible to receive funds. Response from Rick Brown: Legislative issues are not holding <br />the Roundtables back; the primary issue is a ccountability of revenue f or the State and the <br />IRS. <br /> <br />Melinda Kassen: There are non - profits specifically set up to manage funds for groups not <br />set up to receive funds. <br /> <br /> 17 <br />
