<br />~_v <br /> <br />MR. STAPLETON: <br /> <br />"I think we should have a definite . <br />monthly meeting date and be informed as <br />to what was going to be on the agenda and <br />what was to be considered." <br /> <br />MR. MOSES: <br /> <br />"How do the members feel about setting <br />a definite date for monthly or regular <br />meetings?" <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />MR. McCANDLESS: <br /> <br />"At least we could set the date for <br />the following meeting at each meeting." <br /> <br />A short discussion on future meetings was held but <br />no definite date was decided upon although it was generally <br />understood that the Board would be called more frequently in <br />the future. <br /> <br />MR. MOSES: <br /> <br />"I think we have discussed recommenda- <br />tions (a) and (b) of Mr. McClellan's report. <br />I presume that (c) will depend, to a larqe <br />extent, on how we come out on (a) and (bJ." <br /> <br />General discussion was held on matching funds with <br />the Federal Government for investigative studies. <br /> <br />Mr. Nelson spoke of Mr. Read Black's request for-him <br />to work on a priority list in his area. He said that he had <br />asked the Colorado River Water Conservancy District and the <br />Southwestern Water Conservancy District to prepare such a list <br />and he wished to present it to the Board at this time as it <br />tied in with Mr. McClellan's report. Mr. Moses asked him to <br />defer it for a short time. <br /> <br />Mr. Moses welcomed members of the U. S. G. S. who <br />were in attendance at the.meeting and read Mr. McClellan's <br />recommendation to accelerate the program with the U. S. G. S. <br />Mr. Thad McLaughlin of the U. S. G. S. gave the estimated <br />cost as of two years ago for making Colorado River water, <br />studies at $2,000,000 but said this estimate was low now due <br />to increased costs of salaries, etc. He also said that two <br />years from now, or perhaps sooner, maybe next year, they <br />could use increased matching funds from Colorado. When asked <br />if the U. S. G. S. could match the sum of $100,000 for this I <br />fiscal year, Mr. McLaughlin replied that he seriously doubted <br />if the Federal could match that amount nor would there be <br />enough personnel to use such an amount. However, he feels <br />that an increase could be made both in funds and personnel in <br />approximately two years or perhaps in the coming year. <br />
