agenda items 7 and 8 for the moment and go on to agenda item 9 . There <br /> being no objection, Mr. McDonald went on to agenda item 9a and explained <br /> the staff's recommendation with respect to transcription of Board <br /> proceedings and the minutes for Board meetings . In short, Mr. McDonald <br /> recommended that arrangements be made . to use the court reporter which <br /> had recently been hired by the State Engineer's Office to transcribe <br /> Board meetings , and that the verbatim transcript be left in the files <br /> and an abbreviated set of minutes be produced which would summarize <br /> the results of the business conducted at each Board meeting. This <br /> would be in lieu of the present practice, which is to use a private <br /> court reporter to transcribe Board meetings and to then edit the verbatim <br /> transcript in order to produce a final, retyped transcript. After dis- <br /> cussion, Mr. Sherman moved, seconded by Mr. Gormley, that the Board <br /> continue to report its proceedings verbatim by use of a court reporter, <br /> but rather than editing the transcript it would simply be left in its <br /> verbatim form and a summarized set of minutes would be produced from <br /> the verbatim transcript to serve as the Board's official record of its <br /> proceedings . After some additional discussion, the motion was passed <br /> on a unanimous voice vote . <br /> Mr. McDonald then brought the Board's attention to agenda items <br /> 9b and c. General discussion followed with respect to the future <br /> activities and meeting dates of the Board. No motions were offered in <br /> the course of this discussion, although the Board did agree to hold <br /> its next meeting on January 30 , 1980 in Denver. <br /> Mr. Stapleton, under agenda item 9d, then called upon Mr. Bob <br /> Fischer of the Denver Water Board, who made a brief presentation with <br /> respect . to the current efforts of twenty-one organizations in the <br /> State of Colorado to move forward with certain matters relating to <br /> weather modification. A brief discussion ensued and Mr. Sherman was <br /> asked to comment on the State 's position in this regard. The dis- <br /> cussion was concluded without any motions having been made or formal <br /> Board positions having been taken. . <br /> Mr. Stapleton then called upon Mr. Don Hamburg of the Attorney <br /> General's Office to present the Attorney General' s report in the <br /> absence of Mr. MacFarlane, who had excused himself when the Board <br /> recessed for the lunch hour. Mr. Hamburg reported very briefly on the <br /> status of four lawsuits of interest to the Board and answered a variety <br /> of questions from Board members pertaining to those lawsuits . Ms . <br /> Connie Peterson, also of the Attorney General's Office, then reported <br /> to the Board on the status of the Board's filings for minimum stream <br /> applications in all of the State Water Courts . No motions were offered <br /> nor formal Board positions during the course of the Attorney General' s <br /> report. <br /> -12- <br />
