DATE: July 6, 2006 TO: Gunnison Basin Roundtable Members FROM: Michelle Pierce, Chairperson SUBJECT: Report Rather than taking up unnecessary time during the meeting, I just wanted to take a few minutes to report on a couple of things. First, I did send notices regarding appointee truancy to Mesa County, the municipalities of Delta County, the municipalities of Montrose County (should not have included Nucla and Naturita which are in a different basin, I’m told), and Roundtable appointees Mike A hlberg and Hank Hotze. In accordance with our bylaws, we will give Mike Ahlberg and Hank Hotze time during our meeting to explain their absences . I’ve been contacted by Mesa County Commissioner, Tilman Bishop, who informed me that Craig Meis’ schedule co nflicts with our meeting schedule and that Mesa County will appoint a new representative very soon. I’m also aware that the Montrose municipalities are working to replace Bill Brougham. Tom Huerkamp will continue to represent the Delta County municipalit ies and had actually contacted me some time ago regarding an illness he had been dealing with that had prevented his earlier attendance at meetings and to assure me that his attendance would now improve. I forwarded e - mails containing memos regarding Sena te Bill 179 funds from John Redifer, th CWCB, and Eric Hecox to the membership on June 13 . Please contact me as soon as possible if you did not receive these and I’ll resend them. st I’m sure most of you are aware that the 31 Colorado Water Workshop will b e held at Western State College in Gunnison on July 26 – 28. The line up includes a Friday morning session entitled ‘Learning to Share a Developed Resource’ which will be centered around how the 1177 process is working. Lyn Kathlene, Director of the Colo rado Institute of Public Policy is planning a conference to be held on October 6, 2006 at the Copper Mountain Resort. The conference theme will be ‘Taking the Plunge: Research as a Tool for Water Basin Roundtables.’ Lyn is still finalizing the agenda an d I’ll forward it on to all of you once it ’ s available. Finally, I’ve accumulated quite a bit of correspondence and related documentation from Dave Miller with Natural Energy Resources Company regarding his proposed Central Colorado Project . I haven’t re sponded to any of these since my initial correspondence with him some months ago advising him that we would invite him to attend a future meeting when appropriate. I’m assuming that this is still true but would appreciate hearing from anyone who would be interested in looking his correspondence over.
