pose questions, raise issues and get feedback; expect more from this committee in the
future; asking for help in making decision:
Jerke: Time line?
Tom Iseman: within the next month or two; including outreach on side to people who
have indicated willingness to work with us
6) Phreatophyte: Committee has not met since last time; Tina Outen, who in Weld

meeting today to try to organize what that plan would look like to get it to the state and to
coordinate with Tamarisk group; draft will be forthcoming with action plan for next
month; Morgan County has been less than enthusiastic therefore thinking it would be
beneficial to meet in Morgan County in order to outreach to farmers in Morgan County.
Bill Jerke: If there is a separate group that would be formed from this committee; then
Roundtable could fund it; Weld County unable to fund the entire project; but perhaps
