1 <br /> <br />' MINUTES OF THE ANNUAL MEETING <br />OF THE <br />COLORADO RIVER FISH AND WILDLIFE COUNCIL <br />APRIL 22 - 23, 1998 <br />ST. TROPEZ HOTEL <br />LAS VEGAS, NEVADA <br /> <br />1 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />t <br />1 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />t <br />The 1998 annual meeting of the Colorado River Fish and <br />Wildlife Council (CRFWC) was convened at 1:00pm by Mr. John <br />Baughman who had been requested to conduct by the current <br />Chairman, Mr. John Mumma. Mr. Mumma was excused as he was <br />recovering from recent surgery. Council members present <br />were: Mr. Duane Shroufe, AZ; Mr. Curt Taucher, CA; Mr. Eddie <br />Kochman for John Mumma, CO; Mr. William Molini, NV; Mr. <br />Randy Radant for John Kimball, UT; and Mr. John Baughman, <br />WY. <br />The roll of attendees is included in these minutes as <br />Appendix A. <br />The report was given by Jon Sjoberg, who reviewed the <br />history of this effort by the cooperation of many agencies <br />involved with the natural resources of the river. At the <br />present time these efforts have produced agreement on the <br />planning and financing arrangements. The implementation <br />portion has now started with arrangements being undertaken <br />to select an outside contractor which will put the plan <br />details on paper. This particular step was reported at the <br />Council winter meeting to be ready to be undertaken, but <br />since that time other issues with the contract and selection <br />process have had to be resolved which has delayed the <br />process. Contractor selection should now move forward. <br />Mr. Marty Meisler, Los Angeles Metropolitan Water <br />District, continued the report. He described some of the <br />axillary conservation programs which are underway, using <br />money grants and/or cost sharing programs, within the <br />overall umbrella of the multi-species plan including the <br />Western Willow Flycatcher, some amphibians, and fishes in <br />Lake Mojave. These activities bring resources to species in <br />dire need until major programs of the multi-species plan can <br />be brought to bear. <br />1 <br />
