Since there was considerable discussion of the triploid verification activi-
ties by U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, Stuttgart, Arkansas, and the offer of
the California Game & Fish Department to look into the possibility of their
verification of triploidy for council member states, the technical committee
was asked to consider recommendations or procedures which might be advised to
council states in the handling of certification of grass carp as triploid and
future administrative and staff problems if this is the case.
K. Coordinated Resource Management Planning Resolution
Chairman Geer asked Kent Smith to address the council on the assignments
given him earlier in the day on distribution of the resolution and contact
people for reference by the council. Mr. Smith indicated that he would
provide a specific list of names for distribution to Rod Stone and to include
a note of other key contacts. The contact person for information on the
. planning committee itself would be Mr. Smith. Based upon this information
and the motion from Mr. Smith to accept the resolution, the motion was
seconded and carried unanimously. The resolution is attached as Appendx K.
L. Proposal for Introduction of Arctic Char
In consideration of the report of the technical committee, the proposal for
introduction of the artic char into the Colorado Basin within Colorado was
discussed. In view of the concerns relative to the proposal in the technical
committee, the council requested that the state of Colorado address the
concerns and comments and provide an amended proposal to the new technical
committee chairman by September, 1988 if possible. The technical committee
chairman would then disseminate it to technical committee members and.shortly
