Charnel-: Perhaps would be wise to have a small subcommittee of this group and Metro <br />to work with the consultants so that it proceeds in a wa~T that actually- articulates ~~-hat we <br />need. <br />Jerlce: We need a very small committee - 3 or so-so that we can have documents that <br />are similar in tone and statement. <br />Shimmin: One way to do this, treat this document as a draft and then work this into the <br />needs assessment and have that as the final document; this could help avoid ambiguity- <br />and inconsistency between the documents. <br />Hecoi: Yes, an~~ subcommittee should move foi-~~-ard in making sure that this document <br />is what we need and «-ant. <br />DiNatale: Like the idea of keeping this as a draft and then when we get to final needs <br />assessment and work this in. <br />Jerlce: Want to move forward and have subcommittee: Shimmin, Harold Evans, Eric <br />Wilkinson. <br />Charnel-: would be «ise to also have a rep from rec or environment. <br />Greg Kernohan: Will volunteer. <br />Slummiii: Please send us the final changes ~-ou make and ~~ e will work from there. <br />DiNatale and Hecoi: Same eiercise tomorrow with Metro roundtable. <br />Harold Evans: Need to understand that there is serious competition in Northern CO ~~ith <br />Metro. <br />Wilkinson: Need to add a section: Specific concerns of Metro and of South Platte; this is <br />possible to do in sane document, but the perspective of the two basins must be brought <br />out. Within five years, there will be onl~r t`vo options: di-~r up Ag or transbasin projects; <br />thus yen- important that there are two different perspectives. <br />Shimmin: This draft could be a launching pad from «hich the t« o basins compile <br />different assessments; perhaps an introducton- paragraph that states that as per the <br />completion of the needs assessment. We can work towards our own needs assessments. <br />Harold Evans: This does nothing to discuss declining ground water tables which are <br />important for Metro. In October 2008, Metro stated we only have two options: go north, <br />go west. <br />Frank Eckhardt: Which subcommittee member will represent Ag? <br />Joe Frank volunteers. <br />Janet Bell: Going forward with Upper Mtn County Needs Assessment ~~ as done because <br />SWASI did not look at the fact that the primary- source of ~~ ater of those counties is wells. <br />Therefore, this supply- from ~~-ells needs to be assessed. This is not looked at in this stud~~; <br />there is no consideration at all of wells; this is crucial for future development and needs <br />to be part of the needs assessment. <br />Hecoi: This is whys it is important to emphasize that this will be only part of the fiill <br />assessment. <br />Evans: This task force understands that the Republican and the Upper Mtn Counties had <br />separate focus. <br />Summary of Subcommittee: Shimmin, Wilkinson, Evans, Joe Frank (Frank <br />Eckhardt as alternate for Ag interests), Greg Kernohan. <br />Dinner <br />IV. Distribution of Newsletter and Update on Program Activities <br />Hecoi: Wants to emphasize points of communication and information of the <br />newsletter; PDF on website; fast quarter newsletter of 2008 dealt with technical <br />points; this newsletter focuses on the work that IBCC doing on Visioning Exercise. <br />Director Sherman summarizes accomplishments and future work. <br />7 <br />
