Platte River Governance Committee Meeting
La Quinta Inn, Denver CO
August 19, 2003
Agenda
Maryanne Bach, Governance Committee (GC) Chair, called the meeting to order at 12:00 p.m. and noted that the only agenda topic would be the Cooperative Agreement extension.
Roger Patterson moved to extend the Cooperative Agreement through September 30, 2003. Don Ament seconded the motion. GC agreed by consensus to extend the Cooperative Agreement through September 30, 2003. The GC directed the Finance Committee (FC) to consider budget items that require action past the September 30 date.
Ralph Morgenweck asked for confirmation that the GC Negotiating Team meeting format followed on August 18 and 19 was working for all parties. There was general agreement that it was. During general discussion it was noted that the group needs to make clear and concise statements when issues are resolved and to have this captured in the Team meeting summary notes as principles. A request was also made that the discussions and decisions made in small groups should be clearly described to the larger group so that all parties are working with the same information.
Adjourn 12:15
NOTE: The Finance Committee approved funding for the Fall 2003 Whooping Crane Protocol Implementation and associated Research Budget for Investigating Afternoon/Evening Flights as a means to Detect Whooping Crane Stopovers. Dale Strickland, Executive Director, was asked by the FC to contact GC parties not represented on the FC to secure GC approval. Dale did this via individual calls during the week of August 18. The GC was unanimous in its approval of this funding request.
