<br />0024::ii <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />;' <br /> <br />EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR'S MONTHLY REPORT <br />TO THE <br />COLORADO RIVER BOARD OF CALIFORNIA <br /> <br />Mav 7, 2002 <br /> <br />ADMINISTRATION <br /> <br />Board Meetinf? Schedule <br /> <br />At the April Board meeting, it was decided to change the June 12,2002, meeting date and location <br />to June 18,2002, in the Las Vegas area to coincide with Reclamation's 100.Year celebration. I have <br />included in the Board folder a copy of the revised meeting schedule for your information. The Board <br />meeting will be held at the Boulder Station Hotel & Casino, on Highway 93 between Hoover Dam and <br />Boulder City, Nevada. <br /> <br />In conjunction with the meeting, arrangements have been made to take interested Board members, <br />alternates, and other agency representatives on a tour of Hoover Dam, Southern Nevada Water Authority's <br />new intake facilities at Saddle Island in Lake Mead, and the Las Vegas Wash Project. It is anticipated that <br />the tour will commence at noon and conclude around 6:00 p.m., local time. If possible, I would like to <br />obtain a preliminary determination of exactly how many California representatives plan to attend the tours. <br />This will aid the Board in addressing logistical issues. <br /> <br />Posthumous Resolution Honoring Chairman Jones <br /> <br />We all regret the death, on April 8,2002, of our Chairman and friend Virgil L. Jones who was a <br />member of the Board for over 37 years. In honor of his distinguished service on the Board, we have <br />prepared a resolution in recognition of that service which will be forwarded to his wife, Dorothy, and <br />family members after approval by the Board. <br /> <br />Election of the Officers of the Colorado River Board of California <br /> <br />With the passing of Chairman Jones, the Board must select a new Board chairperson. Included in <br />your Board folder is a copy of the relevant water code statutes describing the role and responsibilities of <br />the Board chairperson and Colorado River Commissioner for the State of California. <br /> <br />Colorado River Board of California Budget Hearinf? <br /> <br />On April 17, 2002, I attended a hearing of the Senate Budget Subcommittee No.2 to provide <br />testimony in support of the Colorado River Board's budget. The Board's budget in the amount of <br />$1,100,000 for FY 2002/03, a $33,000 cut from last year's budget, was approved by unanimous consent <br />of the Subcommittee. Currently, the Assembly Budget Subcommittee No.3 has not agreed with the <br />proposed $33,000 budget cut included in the Governor's budget, as a result it is anticipated that the Board's <br />budget will be fully funded when it comes out of the Assembly. Consequently, the Board's fmal budget <br />will be resolved in subsequent Senate-Assembly Conference Committee meetings. <br /> <br />..., <br />
