6. Deauthorize unbuilt CRSP participating projects.
7. Length of Contract.
The staff list had two items:
1. Establish a source of funds for zhe. Endangered Fish
recovery program, and for Upper Basin ecosystem
management. This source of funds to be partly power and
partly other sources.
2004/004
2. Establish limits to WAPA's authority for transmission
construction in the upper basin.
Three points become obvious: (1). considerable time and effort will be
required to gain a higher level of understanding of what each parties'
issues and needs are; (2) there is a lot to talk about and a real
possibility of agreement exists on several issues; (3) CREDA's ability an4l
interest in providing funds for environmental issues is directly related-to
and dependent upon legislative action that would "free up" revenue.
The only agreements reached were that we had a fruitful first meeting and
that in- depth discussion and understanding of various points is needed. No
schedule was set, but I expect further. discussion will occur in the near
future, probably on the subject of apportionment of revenue and its effect
on rate setting.
Please call me with your comments and suggestions.
