<br />COLORADO WATER CONSERVATION BOARD MEETING MINUTES <br />State Capitol, Room 320E <br />Denver, Colorado <br /> <br />November I, 1978 <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />The Colorado Water Conservation Board met, pursuant to notice, at <br />10:00 a.m., Benjamin F. Stapleton, Chairman, presiding. <br /> <br />MR. STAPLETON: <br />Colorado Water <br />that we are up <br /> <br />Ladies and gentlemen, we will call this meeting of the <br />Conservation Board to order. I want all of us to notice <br />to date on our minutes. <br /> <br />MR. FETCHER: congratulations are in order. <br /> <br />MR. STAPLETON: The minutes of the meetings of May 12 and July 11 have <br />been sent to you before. I will entertain a motion that they be <br />approved. <br /> <br />MR. FETCHER: Mr. Chairman, I have read the minutes, and I make a motion <br />that they be approved. <br /> <br />MR. KROEGER: Second. <br /> <br />MR. STAPLETON: Any discussion? (NO response.) All in favor signify <br />"Aye." (Unanimous ayes.) Those opposed? (NO response.) <br /> <br />The minutes of May 12 and July 11 are approved. <br /> <br />MR. FETCHER: I think the record should show that we should entertain <br />congratulations to our recording secretary, who has done a super job on <br />them. <br /> <br />MR. STAPLETON: We will now go to item number 2 on the agenda, re: <br />state funding for water resource development. I have asked Larry to <br />give us part of his director's report early on all that went on in <br />Washington in the last months of the summer. <br /> <br />So, Larry, would you take over that item, please? <br /> <br />MR. SPARKS: Mr. Chairman, and members of the Board and the audience, <br />the status of federal funding for water resource development in ColoradO <br />is actually a part of this agenda item, inasmuch as the federal funding <br />is very critical to us for various projects throughout the state. <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />First, I would like to make a brief statement concerning the President's <br />water policy. We covered that in some detail at the last meeting. As <br />you know, I have spent practically all summer and part of the fall in <br />Washington; I have talked extensively with members of our congressional <br />delegation, with other congressmen and senators, and other people at the <br />Washington level. <br /> <br />The President's water policy, as such, is not meeting with much approval <br />
