Todd Doherty: I do not know much about this. This is an initiative on <br />the part of Eric Hecox, cannot speak to the matter. <br />Harold Evans: Bill: believe that you understand the sentiment of this <br />group that we really want to get on and get some wet water. <br />Bill Jerke: Should I express a level of a bit of impatience and that we are <br />readv to advance the call of wet water? <br />Mike Shimmin: Orin instinct is that because of the progress at the IBCC <br />and that we have started to actually start discussing strategies that it is a <br />time for patience. <br />Julio Iturreria: Given the 3 items ( water conservation, ag dryup, and <br />transbasin diversions) would encourage that Bill expresses positive <br />position on focusing on these strategies. <br />Bill Jerke: Certainlv would be worthwhile to stress that we have the <br />most to lose as per ag dryup. Conservation only goes so far and <br />transbasin diversions must be approached with caution and delicately. <br />Julio Iturreria: Other two items to discuss: drought as it stands and that <br />this is a far-reaching drought in CO as well as the need for storage <br />facilities. <br />John Metli: Would it hurt to work with the Metro or AK before the <br />meeting? Seems like it would be worthwhile to speak with a common <br />voice. <br />Harold Evans: Challenge is of course the competition with the south <br />metro and metro. <br />Metli: Yes, but as we direct our voice to the West, seems as if we need <br />to find commonality with metro. <br />Julio Iturreria: I sit on the Metro, and although I don't dispute the <br />position about the Metro looking "north or Nvest,"this is not the position <br />of all. <br />5:35: Update on Ducks Unlimited Activities: Greg Kernohan <br />Review of application: <br />Over last 12 months: DU has received 2 grants from this roundtable and a smaller one from <br />Weld County School District: $1.2 million, has been leveraged up to $2.6million.
