<br />8 <br /> <br />after Governor Vivian came into office he expressed a desire that the <br />Board give consideration to a flat salary rather than a per diem <br />payment for the services of Mr. Tipton. It was also pointed out <br />that, because of pending project development investigations in the Rio <br />Grande Basin and greatly increased work in connection with Colorado <br />River development, Mr. Tipton's services would probably be. required in <br />an increased amount. <br /> <br />After discussion, it ~~s moved by Mr. Dille and seconded <br />by Mr. Pughe that Royce J. Tipton be retained by the Board as <br />Consulting Engineer and for such services he be paid $350.00 per <br />- month. <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />After further discussion and en separate vote being taken <br />by inquiry made by the Chairman of each member of the Board <br />present, the motion was. unanimously carried and declared adopted. <br /> <br />Thereupon the Direotor read to the members of the Board' a statement <br />he had prepared for submission to the Civil Service Commission and to <br />the Governor. The statement concerned the desirability of a change in <br />the classification and salaries of members of the staff of. the Colorado <br />Water Conservation Board. It indicated that, because of resignations <br />resulting from inadequate salaries, the Board would soon find itself <br />without adequate personnel to carry on its work. The Director asked <br />that the Board take action on his statement and if approved,' he be <br />authorized to see what could be done toward, such reclassifications <br />-and salary increases through conference with the appropriate State <br />officials. He explained that there is adequate money in the funds of the <br />Board to make the salary increases recommended. <br /> <br />Thereupon it was moved by Mr. Dille and seconded by <br />Mr. Bailey that the statement of the Director' be approved and that <br />he be. authorized to contact the appropriate State officials in an <br />effort to determine what can be accomplished toward reclassification <br />and salary adjustments for members of the staff of the Colorado <br />Water Conservation Board. <br /> <br />The motion was unanimously carried and declared adopted. <br /> <br />The meeting adj ourned at 5 :40 P.M., May 17, 1946. <br /> <br />Jk~ <br /> <br />Vice-Chairman <br /> <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />t? <br />
