North Platte Roundtable Meeting Minutes, 10.21.08 <br />Parks District USFS Conference Room <br />Minutes Submitted by Curran Trick. <br />Members/Guests Present <br />Kent Crowder <br />Caid Waldron <br />Carl Trick <br />John Rich <br />Jeff Crane <br />Debbie Alpe <br />Mike Alpe <br />Bob Timberman <br />Barb Vasquez <br />Mike Allnutt <br />Meeting called to order. <br />Approval of minutes from 09.23.08: <br />There is no quorum of voting members present; the 09.23.08 minutes will be approved at <br />the December 2, 2008 meeting. <br />Visioning Statement Discussion: <br />Kent read Dave Meyring's continents on the visioning statement, a suggestion of how he <br />would revise it: "We envision a Colorado that sustainbly meets municipal, industrial, <br />agricultural, environmental, and recreational needs by developing all of Colorado's <br />water resources for the maximum benefit of Colorado's citizens." <br />Kent read his proposed vision statement: "We envision a CO where cooperation <br />among all water users and decision makers to allocate resources will help meet the <br />water supply needs of municipal, agricultural, environmental, industrial, and <br />recreational users." <br />Discussion about the vision statement. And the term "sustainability." <br />Carl T: We need to put stuff on the ground, re-allocation or new projects, then we are <br />not going to save all the values that we are concerned about leaving the state of Colorado. <br />Roundtable Resolution on Amendment 52: <br />Kent distributed a draft resolution for the Roundtable to oppose Amendment 52, based on <br />the CWCB's resolution. The Roundtable could not act on the resolution as there was not <br />a quorum of members present to vote. <br />Carl T: The CWCB took a position against 52, because it hurts CWCB the most, they get <br />25% of the severance tax, they propose to cap us at the previous year's level (lowest <br />levels) and give that to the highway department to fix I-70. It's going to inhibit CWCB's <br />ability to lend money, especially since the previous year's spending was low.
