Given that we are tall<ing <br />about some important issues and a lot of money, I would prefer to reschedule the meeting. However, <br />here are my thoughts on the SB 1 79 applications: <br /> <br />1. I would prefer to continue the Bauer Lal<e application since we have already given the applicant some <br />funding. <br />2. I support the Town of Sawpit's application. I lG10W they really need these upgrades to their system, <br />and the request seems reasonable to me. <br />3. I have a lot of concerns about the amount of money being requested by the La Plata West Water <br />Authority, particularly from our basin account. I have been approached by 2 more municipalities -- <br />one in Dolores and one in San Miguel -- who really need funding, and I am sure there are many others <br />out there. Your summary of requests and grants from our roundtable for funding was helpful, but it did <br />not include a summary of how much money we have available in our roundtable fund this year. I am <br />very concerned that if we approve the roundtable funds for LPWW A, we won't be able to fund other <br />worthy, smaller projects. It was my understanding that those projects were an important focus of the <br />SB 1 79 funds. <br /> <br />I also feel that for the amount of money being requested, we should have as many roundtable members <br />present as possible. Given the weather conditions, that is not lil<ely to occur today. Can we continue <br />these until our next meeting? <br />Thanl<s. <br />Jenny <br /> <br />On Jan 9, 2008, at 8:22 AM, Steve Harris wrote: <br /> <br />Roundtable Members, <br />Yesterday the weather lool<ed lil<e it would be OK today for driving but this morning is <br />not very good.
