look at strategies to support it. We should express where we want the state to be and then move to <br />implement measures to help us get there. <br />Harris Shea°masx We need to tallc about what we think will work. Can we refine our vision as we <br />go along and simultaneously look at strategies? Ultimately, we end up with a vision and the <br />strategies to help implement it. Can this be a twin effort? <br />Eric Wilkinson: We could proceed in two ways: <br />1. Vision statement <br />2. Vision statement and strategies moving concurrently <br />We need to decide as a group. <br />.Ieris Danielson: We're back where we were 2 years ago. <br />Sire Morea: We're going to look at strategies that are in line with the values articulated. <br />Harris S'hern~an: Would it make sense to go around the table and express the values that are <br />important to us? We have done this in the past and we typically come up with: Preserve agriculture <br />and the environment, secure M&I uses, etc. The harder level of discussion is how we do this. We <br />might be better to look at strategies, combinations of strategies, and the trade-offs associated with <br />different strategies to get a better understanding. Broad visioning is important but it only takes you <br />very far. <br />Eric Wilkinson: Visioning and examining strategies drive each other. Until you get some hard facts <br />and ramifications you won't be very productive. <br />Carl Trick: Agree totally and we need to do both. <br />.Ieris Danielson: An important element to either visioning or exanning strategies is how much <br />water is in the Colorado River. 100k or lm ac feet. <br />Eric Hecox: Are we examining the right strategies (listed on page 2 of the document)? <br />T. Wi•ightDickinson: My concern is some interest may be left outenvironment/recreation needs <br />to be included. We need to make sure that env/rec are also using only what they need. Use oiily <br />what you need should apply to environmental and recreational uses as well. <br />Melinda Kassej~z: Environmentalists only request what is needed and not wanted. <br />Chips Barry: Grand County example-some wanted Denver Water to put water in all streams at all <br />times. We can't do this, but if we lalow when, where, and how much water is needed we can work <br />together. The Stream management plan is geared to this. <br />Dan Birch: You may not get what you want but if you try sometimes you might find you get what <br />you need. Changing paradigm where we look at water providers being more productivedensity <br />development (connection of land use-water planning). Demand side strategy. Controversial-state <br />has not gone here. <br />
