Members, CWCB September 17, 1981 Page three Steering Committees In order to facilitate the input of interested parties during the conduct of these four feasibility studies, many, many persons have requested and I recommend the formation of a group of advisors, or steering committee, of not more than about 12 persons for each study. The purpose of each steering committee would be to provide the staff with input and comments on the conduct and content of each study ~nd to review and comment on interim written products and draft reports. I propose to select such advisors during October, with their first task being to assist in the formulation of detailed plans of study. In the case of the Yellow Jacket feasibility study, the steering committee would serve the dual purpose of advising me on the Board's study as well as managing the parallel White River Basin study to be Independently funded by a consortium of the Yellow Jacket District and interested energy companies. Indeed,it is probable that the consortium will use the same engineering firm as I select for the Board's study. An engineering committee of representatives from the Conservany District and the energy companies has been in existence for over a year and can serve as the core for the propOSed steering committee. Finaliy, the Yellow Jacket District and the involved energy companies have requested that the Board's study and their study be treated as two phases of a single integrated effort. Such coordination should, in my opinion, lead to a more complete analysis of development opportunities in the White River Basin. Subject to the caveat that the Board's study must not be delayed by such a combined effort, I recommend that the Board respond in the affirmative to this request. Schedule for Initiating Studies I would expect to adhere to the following schedule in initiating al~ four feasibility studies: September 23, 1981. Board approval of each RFP at regular Board meeting. September 25, 1981. Approved RFPs mailed to the engineering firms selected for further discussions. October 16, 1981. Proposals to Study (PTSs) from each engineering firm for each study due.
