rights...that sounds the same to me in the second half as the first half. And I'm
just trying to think...and I realize that this is just semantics, but it seems to me that
after that, after the 52, and the monthly triggers, we will participate...we may
exercise our right, we may also agree not to exercise our right, but it's different
than "we will agree to terms and conditions not to exercise our rights." That
sounds like the same thing.

How about "we will begin to exercise the right, however, an additional 72,000
acre feet of depletions may occur subject to terms and conditions..."

Terms and conditions to be negotiated at the time, something like that. OK. Does
that make that more complicated?

So, let's get a motion out, and let's get a second. What I heard was, that we
advise staff... that we move to direct staff to move to final notification to
appropriate a recovery flow water right, in the amount of all available flow, except
for development allowance, that the development allowance be in the amount of
52,000 acre feet per year and distributed monthly, and that that be subject to
specific terms and conditions as to how its administered and how its precisely
defined, that will be worked out, and that in addition, that we would be...that
under appropriate circumstances, after consideration by the Board, that we would
further development up to 72,000 acre feet in addition to the first development
allowance of 52,000 feet, or what's available under the compact, whichever occurs
first, by virtue of some appropriate proceeding along the lines, I gather, of a
modification proceeding. If that's anywhere close to the motion, let's have a
second.

Question. I would second that. Eric said all remaining or as an alternative the
ceedence(?) ideas.

You're right. I'm sorry, I'm not trying to slip that through on you, I totally
forgot. So the motion is, in the alternative, all remaining water less developmental
allowance, or 20% exceedence in the winter base flow months and 10%
exceedence in the runoff months. and I gather the sense of the motion is that we
would make that determination later after we'd figured out better which way the
winds are blowing on that.

That helps me much. Thanks.

I apologize. There is a motion seconded. What further discussion do we have on
it? I have one question. Eric, you said 52,000 above Maybell. What happens if
there is proposed development between the Maybell gage and the confluence of
Little Snake? Isn't the point of...aren't we really saying a development allowance
above the Little Snake?
