May 5, 2008 Nicole Rowan with CDM presented draft maps showing the location of identified environmental attributes. She had also prepared combined maps showing where attributes overlaid on one another to show density. Nicole indicated that she could send out CD's of the maps to whoever wanted them. Tyler Martineau stated that everyone should review the maps and provide feedback to CDM within 30 days. Michelle Pierce said she would forward the Internet link to the Roundtable members for the maps. The issue of public and private lands was discussed, and Nicole indicated where her maps showed the public and private land attributes, and that the maps were confidential for now. The scheduled presentation on the Flow Evaluation Tool that was currently being piloted in the Colorado and Arkansas basins to quantify non-consumptive needs was postponed until the August 2008 meeting when more complete information would be available. 3. Meetings with Eastern Slope Basin Roundtables The Roundtable members discussed scheduling meetings with the South Platte, Arkansas and Metro Roundtables in the Gunnison Basin. Michelle Pierce said that the Arkansas wanted to bring their full Roundtable to the July Gunnison Basin Roundtable meeting. Michelle also mentioned that the July meeting was scheduled at the end of the holiday weekend, and asked the Roundtable members if they wanted to postpone that meeting until the following week, and if they wanted to host the Arkansas Roundtable at that meeting. It was generally agreed on that the Arkansas would be asked to make a presentation at that meeting. Bill Trampe, Marc Catlin, and John McClow expressed concern about the agenda for the East Slope Roundtables visits to the Gunnison Basin. Michelle requested that the Communications Committee stay after this meeting to discuss this matter. John McClow made a motion to postpone the Roundtable meeting until July 14, 2008, and to host the Arkansas Roundtable at that meeting. Hugh Sanburg seconded, and the motion carried unanimously. Ralph Grover made a motion to have this meeting be a mandatory meeting. Ken Spann seconded and the motion carried unanimously. 4.
