<br />There has been no decision yet out of the Tenth Circuit on the United <br />States appeal in the Akin case where Judge Finesliver referred the <br />matter to the State Court. I expected decision or at least the matter <br />be set for hearing long before this. I have no current information as <br />to when it will be set. <br /> <br />I guess this is all. <br /> <br />I will answer questions. <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />If not, Larry, how about <br /> <br />Mr. Stapleton: Any questions of our attorney? <br />the director's report? <br /> <br />~~. Sparks: <br />the approval <br />year. <br /> <br />My first report will involve our attorney. It concerns <br />of his contract as attorney for the forthcoming fiscal <br /> <br />v~. Moses: <br /> <br />Do you want me to leave? <br /> <br />Mr. Stapleton: Oh no, you might as well hear the bad news: Stay right <br />here. <br /> <br />v~. Sparks: Our attorney is now performing a great deal more in the way <br />of legal work than historically the attorney for this board has ever <br />done. This is because of the many filings for minimum stream flows. <br />Actually, the attorney will be required to be in court almost constantly, <br />either in opposition to a change in point of diversion or initiating <br />the court adjudications. The retainer that he is getting at the present <br />time is $660.00 a month. We have the funds to pay the attorney a <br />retainer of $700.00 a month for the next fiscal year. I intend to ask <br />the legislature to raise that somewhat in the future. I would recom- <br />mend to the board that I be authorized to execute a contract with <br />I1r. Moses for his services for the forthcoming fiscal year at a retainer <br />of $700.00 a month. <br /> <br />Mr. Stapleton: Would you make that motion? <br /> <br />Mr. Sparks' I will make the motion. <br /> <br />ftr. Cornelius' I second it. <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />Mr. Stapleton: It has been regularly moved and seconded. Do you have <br />any assurance that the attorney will accept that? <br /> <br />Hr. Sparks, I do not, but I am going to ask a question here. I received <br />a letter recently requesting me to support a Ray Moses for Board of <br />Regents. I am wondering if that is the same person? <br /> <br />-38- <br />
