He <br />encouraged the board to endorse it to show we are on board with it. <br />Dennis Steckel moved to support S13-1 56 in its present form, with compromise <br />language. Steve Glazer seconded the motion. The motion carried. <br />The board agreed to ask Jim Slattery to model the flow recommendations adopted <br />in the RICD application to show percent impacts <br />Greg Peterson said that in the RICD application, the board did not address Lee <br />Spann' s concerns with West Branch.
