<br />. Friday Morning. November 15. 1991 <br />Call to Order (8:24 - 8:56 a.m.) <br /> <br />Chairman Jackson called the meeting to order at 8:24 a.m. and there was a quorum. <br />Present were Olson, Walker, Harrison, Lochhead, Smith, Jackson, Martineau, Sheftel, <br />Eisel, Wright, and Meyring. Absent were Norton, Danielson, and Salazar. Ken <br />Salazar arrived at 9:15 a.m. <br /> <br />8a. Matters in Litigation, Upper Gunnison River Water Conservancy District Cases <br />86CW202 and 86CW203 (8:56 - 8:58 a.m.) <br /> <br />Steve Sims, Assistant AG, reported on instructions he received in executive session <br />to file a brief on behalf of the Board to support Judge Brown's ruling. A motion was <br />made by Lochhead and seconded by Harrison to instruct the AG's Office to file a <br />brief in our behalf in the appeal of the case which we indicate the concurrence of the <br />Board in those portions of the trial court opinion which affirms the right of an entity <br />other than the CWCB to store water in a reservoir and release water to a <br />downstream identified terminus for beneficial use within stream channels in <br />accordance with the terms of the appropriate decrees for that structure. The motion <br />passed by unanimous (9-0) decision. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />12. Water Efficiency Program: Approval of Guidelines for Grants (8:58 - 9:24 a.m.) <br /> <br />David Walker, CWCB, introduced the subject and Kim Hout, CWCB staff, presented <br />the revised guidelines. Comments were heard from Ed Pokorney from the Colorado <br />Water Congress and the Denver Water Department and from Jo Evans speaking as <br />an environmentalist. Discussion followed by Harrison, Jackson, Sheftel, Eisel, and <br />Wright. The consensus was that the guidelines should be adopted with an emphasis <br />on the three proposed categories but not at the exclusion of other categories, and to <br />proceed with a timely promotion of the program. Lochhead and Sheftel will help <br />with distribution of program announcements in their areas. A motion was made by <br />Sheftel and seconded by Harrison to adopt the guidelines. The motion passed by <br />unanimous (10-0) decision. <br /> <br />7. <br /> <br />Construction Fund Program: Public Comment on Potential Future Directions (9:24- <br />10:37 a.m.) <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Bob Jackson opened a discussion continued from yesterday in which all Board <br />members present participated. A distinction was made between a bill for changes <br />in the Board's enabling legislation, which should be as general as possible, and the <br />Board's annual project authorization bill. The consensus was that projects with <br />substantial state interest should have lower interest rates and that the language <br />prohibiting flood control projects should not be changed at this time. A motion was <br /> <br />7 <br />
