<br />Chatfield Reservoir Reallocation Project <br />Coalition Coordination Meeting -1:30 pm, August 7, 2007, CFWE, 1580 Logan St. <br /> <br />AGENDA <br /> <br />1) Welcome and Introductions <br /> <br />2) Summary of July 10, 2007 Water User meeting at Centennial (discussion) <br />a) CWCB will be asking Water Users to summarize discussions that were held at the July loth meeting. <br />Participants should be prepared to speak openly about issues that were raised regarding overall project <br />management and work by their consulting team. The CWCB's goal is to listen to concerns, obtain <br />constructive feedback regarding solutions to the issues, and assist in the implementation of a plan that will <br />keep us moving forward in a positive direction. In the meantime, the CWCB is conceptually aware of some <br />of the issues and would like to specifically discuss: <br />i) The role of the CWCB PM and level of availability. <br />ii) Agenda setting and meeting facilitation (FRlEIS, Coordination, and Subcommittee meetings). <br />iii) Increased FCSA coordination between CWCB, Corps, and Tetra Tech through weekly conference calls <br />iv) Potential CWCB PM assistance (part-time or full-time) to address day-to-day administrative needs of the <br />project. <br />v) CWCB Water Supply Planning and Finance Section plans to hire a consultant to prepare a project <br />feasibility study on behalf of all water users. The study will assist with future CWCB loans for Chatfield, <br />project education & marketing, and a technical description of the work. <br />vi) Articulation of Water User needs/priorities for using project support funds intended for Great Western <br />Institute and Capitol Representatives. The CWCB greatly appreciates, and it seems that the Water Users <br />would like to focus on, the CRlGWI efforts such as continued pursuit of federal funding for the project, <br />continued outreach/education activities for the Colorado Congressional delegation and other relevant <br />interests, monitor WRDA and project-related congressional bills, pursue reduced cost of storage for the <br />project through Steve Cone and Corps HQ, secure SB-179 project funds as approved by the two <br />roundtables, and others? <br />vii) Possible mechanisms for water users to develop monthly task lists for CRlGWI, in harmony with CWCB <br />guidance, as well as methods to review invoices/tasks from the previous month. <br />viii) Appropriate meeting intervals to achieve maximum attendance/effectiveness while avoiding meeting <br />burnout. <br />b) Actions and follow-up steps regarding this agenda item <br /> <br />3) Project schedule (discussion) <br />a) Methods for keeping the project schedule and Tetra Tech on track <br />b) What needs to happen to meet the Sept. 30th deadline for the Draft Preliminary FRlEIS <br /> <br />4) Purpose and need (strategy discussion) <br />a) Chapter I updates per USACE (Aug. 3rd conference call) <br />b) No action alternatives and implications for the project <br /> <br />5) Coordination with Denver Water (brief discussion) <br />a) Denver Water Citizens Advisory Committee <br />b) Set up meeting <br /> <br />6) Hock Hocking redistribution (brief update) <br />a) CWCB Board discussions and approval <br />b) 100 AF to 6 of 9 remaining upstream users <br /> <br />7) Chatfield news article (brief discussion) <br />a) July 21,2007 Rocky Mountain News <br />b) Project delays and schedule - messaging back to decision makers <br />
