Moment of Silence Approval of Minutes from July 10, 2006 Bob requested that we correct the spelling of his name. Dave motioned to accept the minutes as amended, Steve seconded. Passed unanimously. General Discussion Instream Flow Monitoring update – Little Cottonwood Creek Dave passed photos taken on Aug. 11th. Pictures clearly shows minimal amounts of water flowing on that date. Bob asked if the water pooled in areas. Dave said that that was not evident. Dave said flow in the weir would register as minimal. Dave said we would probably check it again 3 more time this season. Near the inlet to the lake Dave observed a few fry in the waters pooling directly above the lake at the inlet. The basin that feeds the Freeman Reservoir is small in comparison to the Buffalo Pass area. Keep track of the flows in Little Cottonwood until October and then a panel will go before the CWCB in March. Jeff Baessfer (Senior Water Resource Specialist with CWCB) with CWCB will make a recommendation based upon the data and present it to the DOW. Discussion followed.
