<br />e <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />-2- <br /> <br />Salinity Control Legislation: We were successful in moving the bill to raise the cost ceiling for <br />salinity control from the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources to the floor of the <br />Senate, but it was not taken to a vote in the Senate, nor was there any action in the House. <br />Consequently we will be working on the legislation again during the next Congress. <br /> <br />CSU Conservation Task Force: We are participating in a joint process with CSU to better the <br />understanding of Agriculture Conservation, how the term is used and is conservation in some <br />instances a reality or a myth. The task force plans to produce a report that provides a comprehensive <br />review of conservation and the reaction as well as interaction with water management strategies. <br /> <br />Dolores Proiect: We had a opportunity to tour portions of the Dolores Project which delivers water <br />to the Ute Mountain Ute Reservation. They have installed sprinkler systems on several new fields <br />southwest of Towac and produced crops for the second year. The irrigation component combined <br />with the domestic water supply which the Board assisted in developing has made remarkable changes <br />to the lives of the tribal members. We should all attempt to visit the reservation to experience first <br />hand the value of water and the improvements to the community that adequate water provides. This <br />agency should be proud of the accomplishments of the Dolores Project. <br /> <br />Long Range Plan: We have incorporated into the CWCB/DNR budget request for FY96 the Board's <br />priorities and goals as set forth in our Long Range Plan. Specific objectives have been included into <br />individUals' performance plans and the plan is being used as a tool to focus staff time and budget <br />allocations. <br /> <br />Consolidated Water Resource Information Center: We are drafting a lease for space at the Allison <br />Building across 13th Street since space is not available in our building. A scope of work to outline <br />duties for the purposes of hiring a temporary librarian/archivist is being written. A ineeting of the <br />library task force will be scheduled for late November to determine our next steps and to analyze <br />strategies for a permanent home for the library and adequate staffing. <br /> <br />Personnel: We will be holding a panel review for evaluating applicants for Construction Section <br />Chief in mid-November, and hopefully will announce the successful applicant soon thereafter. <br /> <br />w:\boardmemlnov94\agenda3.dcl <br />DCLlscm <br />
