equipment, and the kind of infnrmation which cnuld be derived from
this commtmication system. A number of questions were asked of Mr.
Kaliszewski concerning the c()Sts of individual stations and the funding
problems which. COMSAT was encOlUltering. Mr. Kaliszewski was not
able to provide a breakout of the costs of the individual stations in
which the Administration might be interested. Mr. Cooley indicated
that the Administration would follow with interest the efforts of water
users in the Arkansas River basin and throughout Colorado to obtain
funding for the permanent implementation of a satellite monitoring
network.
With respect to agenda item 12, Mr. Cooley asked what action was
needed on the review of the expenditures for FY 1982-1983. Mr.
McDonald pointed out that the Administration's expenditures for FY
1982-1983 would be in excess of the budget a pproved by the
Administration at its December 9, 1980, regular annual meeting. This
would happen because the contract between the Administration and
Mr. Jesse's office for the secretarial support services required for Mr.
Jesse in his capacity as the Administration's Operations Secretary was
an expense not considered until the Administration's January 4, 1982,
regular annual meeting. Mr. McDonald reminded the Administration
that at the January 4, 1982, meeting it was agreed that the expense of
the contract with Mr. Jesse's office for FY 82-83 would be taken from
the Administration's surplus. Mr. McDonald noted that he merely
wanted to be sure that the members of the Administration recalled that
we would be over budget in FY 1982-1983 as a result. All agreed that
this was the case and that no further action was needed.
With respect to the FY 1983-1984 budget, Mr. McDonald reminded
the Administration that it had been adopted at the January 4, 1982,
regular annual meeting. Since that time, Mr. McDonald indicated that
two matters had arisen which he believed deserved further con-
sideration: (I) questions concerning the amount budgeted for the
cooperative agreement with the U $. Geological. Survey for the
maintenance and operation of gaging stations and (2) the need to
budget an expenditure for the contract between the Administration and
Mr. Jesse's office to provide the support he needs in his capacity as the
Administration's Operations Secretary.
Concerning the matter of the cooperative agreement with the
Geological Survey, Mr. Cooley called for discussion. The discussion
continued at some length witbout arriving at any conclusions,
whereupon Mr. Co.oley recessed the meeting for the lunch hour at 12: 15
p.m.
The meeting was reconvened at 1:30 p.m., at which time Mr. Cooley
asked that the Administration return to the approval of the minutes of
previous meetings under agenda item 3. Mr. Olomon moved, seconded
by Mr. Genova, that the minutes of the August 6,1981, special meeting,
the January 4, 1982, regular annual meeting, and the January 29, 1982,
special telephonic meeting be approved as printed. and distributed, with
the exception that the marked up draft materials following Attachment
H of the January 4, 1982, minutes, which had inadvertently been in-
cluded by Mr. McDonald's office when the minutes were mailed out, be
deleted. There being no discussion, the motion was passed upon the
