() n Steve Miller S;~~ ~ FROM: DATE: March 29, 1993 SUBJECT: ARCA, Colorado Delegation Two members of the Colorado delegation to ARCA, James G. Rogers and Carl G. Genova, were most recently appointed by Governor Romer on November 13, 1989. Executive Order A 248-89 specifies that their terms expire August 16, 1993. It is probably time to begin thinking about their reappointment or replacement. The Arkansas River Compact requires that two of Colorado's three representatives be water users and residents of the Arkansas Valley, one from above John Martin Reservoir (Districts 14 and 17) and one from below John Martin Reservoir (District 67). Compact, Article VIII.C. Carl Genova has represented District 14 and 17 since 1981 and Jim Rogers has represented District 67 since 1985. Chuck, of course, as CWCB director is the third representative. It is customary that the CWCB director take the lead on recommending to the Governor, through the Executive Director's Office, appointments to ARCA Recently, due to the Supreme Court case with Kansas, the CWCB Director has also consulted with counsel (David Robbins) on ARCA appointments to retain continuity during the litigation. Since last December, I have talked briefly with Carl and Jim concerning their interest in reappointment to ARCA for another four years. Jim definitely wants to serve again. Carl expressed reluctance to serve due to other demands on his time and a belief that representation of Districts 14 and 17 should move down river to someone living closer to John Martin Reservoir. I asked him to think this over, particularly to see us through Kansas v. Colorado and to suggest suitable replacements if he could not serve again.
