I would like to propose a little different fonnat than the one that we usually <br />follow. For agencies with operational mandates, I am requesting a report on the project operations <br />that were taken in anticipation of this year's expected hydrologic conditions (if any) and <br />modifications of those operations in light of the current conditions and the water supply forecasts. <br />This would be a good time to bring up product needs that can be addressed by the committee. For <br />data collection agencies, a report on any station conditions that may affect project operations or <br />water supply forecasting within the Colorado Basin and any plans for revising or augmenting data <br />collection systems based on this year's expected runoff. For agencies with forecasting mandates, a <br />report on any forecasting problems encountered and any forecast model improvements made prior <br />or during water year 1999, and any anticipated needs in the future. Please furnish a paper or <br />electronic (preferable) copy of your agency presentation for inclusion into the meeting minutes. <br />The order of the updates will be as follows: <br /> <br />Corps of Engineers <br />Upper Colorado Bureau of Reclamation <br />Lower Colorado Bureau of Reclamation <br />Western Area Power Administration <br />Geological Survey <br />Natural Resources Conservation Service <br />National Weather Service, CBRFC <br /> <br />11:45 Miscellaneous business or future projects. <br /> <br />11:55 October meeting date. <br /> <br />12:00 Adjourn <br />
