Species Conservation Trust Fund Recommendation Tape 1, Track 2 Action: A motion was made by Barbara Biggs with a second by Ray Wright to approve Staff recommendation that the Board (1) recommend the above expenditures totaling $1,144,648 from the SCTF for FY 05-06 and forward that recommendation to the Executive Director of DNR, and (2) recommend that DNR, using SCTF cost share dollars, contract directly with the Colorado River Water Conservation District for construction of the Elkhead Reservoir enlargement element ofthe Upper Colorado RIPRAP to the extent of Colorado's remaining UCRIP cost share obligation and assure appropriate cost share credit from the UCRIP is received. In addition, staff recommends continued coordination with the DNR and the CDOW toward the development of more detailed information on the SCTF expenditure history, and the long-term SCTF goals and funding needs. Given that the funds in the SCTF Capital Account are now totallv obligated, additional funding will be required in FY 06- 07. If additional funding is not forthcoming, then general direction concerning the use of other SCTF dollars that would limit the expenditures to only those necessary for participation in the two Recovery Programs and the CA should be provided. The limited funding provided in FY 05-06 will not result in the State falling behind in its cost share obligations under the two Recovery Programs. However, additional funding will be required in FY 06-07 in order to assure that the two recovery programs will achieve sufficient progress and thus continue to provide the reasonable and prudent alternatives for existing and future water projects. Motion was approved 7-0. Russell George and Bob Burr were not present. Tom Sharp recused himself. 20.
