Suzanne Schwartz: And Vicki just resent it to everyone. So Vicki Read has just sent it. Again.

02:45.570 --> 02:48.780

03:26.640 --> 03:27.000
Suzanne Scott: Okay.

03:28.560 --> 03:29.100
Suzanne Scott: I was texting

03:32.700 --> 03:33.060
Suzanne Scott: I was

03:33.420 --> 03:34.530
Suzanne Scott: trying to get back to

03:45.630 --> 03:47.100
Suzanne Scott: I'm telling him to look for an

03:47.130 --> 03:51.480
Suzanne Scott: email from Vicki Read. Is it R-E-A-D or R-E-E-D, I can't remember.

03:51.600 --> 03:53.400
Suzanne Schwartz: E-A-D, R-E-A-D

04:02.610 --> 04:08.220
Vicki Read: I'm having a problem getting to it since we're actually in the meeting. It won't let me access the

04:09.420 --> 04:11.640
Vicki Read: settings on it so

04:11.880 --> 04:16.260
Temple McKinnon: I emailed it was sent September 24 maybe can find that I'll respond to him again.

04:16.740 --> 04:23.280
Suzanne Schwartz: Maybe I wonder if we want to send that to everyone just to remind them to look for that mail.

04:24.450 --> 04:25.170
Suzanne Scott: OK. OK.

04:25.260 --> 04:41.010
Gail Peek: Ok this is Gail, I had that same problem. And what I did was just went through my emails using a search zoom found it and clicked in, that's how I got in. So without having to re-email everyone

04:42.000 --> 04:42.750
Gail Peek: that they can just

04:43.770 --> 04:51.330
Gail Peek: use Zoom as the search and gone through the emails and from a past IPC meeting login and

04:53.280 --> 04:55.560
Suzanne Scott: Okay, well, I am hopefully he'll get on. I

04:56.910 --> 05:01.020
Suzanne Scott: He'll hopefully be able to search Vicki's name or the Zoom, like you said,

05:03.240 --> 05:05.190
Melanie Barnes: I think it was last Thursday over sent out

05:05.460 --> 05:06.570
Suzanne Scott: Yeah yeah

05:06.630 --> 05:09.300
Melanie Barnes: Under Vicki's name.
Suzanne Scott: Yeah. the 23rd, 24th.

05:10.380 --> 05:16.230
Suzanne Scott: Okay, but we do have a quorum, so let's go ahead and get started for public comment. So

05:17.820 --> 05:23.790
Suzanne Scott: if we could determine if we have any members of the public that would like to

05:25.170 --> 05:28.080
Suzanne Scott: share public comment. I think she's going to get. Oops.

05:29.160 --> 05:30.630
Suzanne Scott: It's kind of black. Hold on.

05:30.780 --> 05:33.780
Temple McKinnon: Yeah, sorry. I was trying to send an email to folks. I need to

05:33.900 --> 05:37.980
Temple McKinnon: bail on that. It's not liking what I'm doing with the shared screen.

05:42.120 --> 05:44.280
Suzanne Schwartz: Or we can there we, you know,

05:44.880 --> 05:46.200
Suzanne Schwartz: If anyone wants

05:46.800 --> 05:52.230
Suzanne Schwartz: If anyone wants to to make a public comment, Vicki, if you could just

05:52.260 --> 05:53.520
Suzanne Schwartz: unmute people and let

05:53.520 --> 05:53.970
Suzanne Schwartz: them

05:54.240 --> 05:56.910
Suzanne Schwartz: people could speak up if they want to make any comments.

05:57.660 --> 05:59.250
Vicki Read: They're all unmuted.
Suzanne Schwartz: Okay.

06:00.750 --> 06:02.250
Suzanne Scott: Any public comments. Okay.

06:09.390 --> 06:24.720
Suzanne Scott: I know we have public comment at the end, but just we don't have any public comment at this time, then I would like to welcome Kathleen Jackson from the Water Development Board to address the group so

06:25.740 --> 06:27.390
Suzanne Scott: Good afternoon, Kathleen. The floor is yours.

06:27.480 --> 06:28.290
Kathleen Jackson: Good afternoon.

06:28.620 --> 06:36.750
Kathleen Jackson: Thank you. Suzanne and it's a pleasure to be here and just wanted to thank everybody for their hard work and for their leadership. I mean, we've got

06:37.290 --> 06:39.300
Kathleen Jackson: the power hitters on the

06:39.750 --> 06:44.400
Kathleen Jackson: on the committee kind of representing communities across Texas. So just

06:44.430 --> 07:06.870
Kathleen Jackson: thank you for rolling up your sleeves and moving forward and really looking forward to, you know, hearing what you've kind of developed and further kind of reading the report. But the main reason why I'm here today is to recognize one of our own to recognize Suzanne because she is retiring.

07:07.440 --> 07:08.910
Kathleen Jackson: And she has been

07:08.970 --> 07:13.950
Kathleen Jackson: a tremendous support in Region L, as well as chairing

07:15.180 --> 07:16.530
Kathleen Jackson: and chairing this group.

07:16.740 --> 07:20.340
Kathleen Jackson: And I think they're probably many things that

07:20.370 --> 07:31.590
Kathleen Jackson: you know folks across the state, and particularly, you know, in this call could, could you know could call out in terms of the contributions that Suzanne has made. In my mind

07:32.670 --> 07:42.090
Kathleen Jackson: you know, oftentimes, when you're engaged in regional planning, there are challenges as well as there are opportunities and

07:42.390 --> 07:42.990
Kathleen Jackson: you know, every

07:43.050 --> 07:51.660
Kathleen Jackson: every time I've attended Region L, everything that I hear, Suzanne's leadership has been kind of directed towards turning the challenges

07:52.140 --> 07:53.400
Kathleen Jackson: into opportunities.

07:53.460 --> 08:02.940
Kathleen Jackson: And, you know, taking what you know sometimes might seem to be a monumental task and making it something that at least from the outside is perceived as

08:02.940 --> 08:11.610
Kathleen Jackson: being something very simple. Always wanting to listen and hear others thoughts and ideas and share with them.

08:12.840 --> 08:14.220
Kathleen Jackson: I think maybe the

08:14.430 --> 08:17.040
Kathleen Jackson: greatest example of sharing was

08:18.270 --> 08:22.230
Kathleen Jackson: Representative Dade Phelan. I guess he kind of heard of the work that the

08:22.950 --> 08:24.660
Kathleen Jackson: San Antonio River Authority was doing

08:24.780 --> 08:26.430
Kathleen Jackson: in flood and made a visit.

08:26.910 --> 08:30.720
Kathleen Jackson: And just basically said, hey, they are

08:30.930 --> 08:42.570
Kathleen Jackson: addressing the issue. They are moving forward. They're doing so many of the best practices, just kind of wish everybody could have the opportunity to go by and see what they were doing. And I think that kind of happened.

08:42.690 --> 08:44.940
Kathleen Jackson: And I know that we as the Board went

08:45.240 --> 08:52.830
Kathleen Jackson: and visited with Suzanne. She was very welcoming, explained everything. And I think the door opened many times and

08:53.190 --> 09:01.530
Kathleen Jackson: you know her staff and you know the folks at the River Authority, just, you know, were tremendously helpful and kind of sharing what they've been doing for years. So

09:02.370 --> 09:20.520
Kathleen Jackson: again to me that that kind of points toward in is is very representative of how she approached so many things, you know, during her tenure, not as general, not only as general manager of of the River Authority, but also leadership within Region L. I think my absolute favorite Suzanne

09:20.550 --> 09:26.160
Kathleen Jackson: story, though, is that when I was I was making a trip to see

09:26.550 --> 09:36.120
Kathleen Jackson: a new wastewater treatment plant  that had been built by the River Authority and I had received the Silver Envision Award

09:36.750 --> 09:49.200
Kathleen Jackson: from the Institute of Sustainable Infrastructure so a very sought after, prestigious award. And so I said, well, I've just got to go see this plant. And when I arrived, we were waiting on the

09:49.530 --> 09:52.950
Kathleen Jackson: porch for people to get there and I turned around and there was Suzanne. And

09:53.430 --> 09:57.390
Kathleen Jackson: I thought wow for the general manager, you know, to come all the way out here just

09:57.480 --> 09:58.920
Kathleen Jackson: to have some time to kind of

09:59.460 --> 10:01.410
Kathleen Jackson: I think in her mind kind of show off

10:01.650 --> 10:14.400
Kathleen Jackson: not just the facility because there was, you know, a tremendous amount of emerging technology associated with this, with this treatment plant that was new and different and I think others on down the road will follow suit with.

10:14.700 --> 10:17.100
Kathleen Jackson: But also, I think, to showcase her staff.

10:17.130 --> 10:24.870
Kathleen Jackson: I mean they had taken very deliberate steps to engage their operating staff into the design of the plant.

10:25.380 --> 10:39.390
Kathleen Jackson: As well as they had a unique program for bringing in a young people working with them while they were going to school to be operators and then, you know, kind of hiring them in. So, you know, to me, just kind of that mix of

10:39.450 --> 10:41.070
Kathleen Jackson: not just the technology

10:41.340 --> 10:58.470
Kathleen Jackson: but the people and the talent that went along with it. And you know everything that I think we look at in terms of what Suzanne has contributed to water world really kind of exemplifies that. So without further ado, and I put a little mark in my living room so that I can go sit in the

10:58.680 --> 10:59.850
Kathleen Jackson: stand in the right place.

11:01.650 --> 11:02.370
Kathleen Jackson: So,

11:04.020 --> 11:09.300
Kathleen Jackson: Here we are. Suzanne, we would like to present you virtually

11:09.600 --> 11:11.160
Kathleen Jackson: with a certificate from the

11:11.160 --> 11:21.600
Kathleen Jackson: Texas Water Development Board and again I'll read it extends our gratitude to Suzanne Scott for her years of dedicated leadership as chair of the Region L Regional Water Planning Group.

11:22.050 --> 11:29.160
Kathleen Jackson: And her commitment to Texas Water and it's signed by our chairman Peter Lake, Board member Brooke Paup and myself so

11:29.280 --> 11:29.730
Suzanne Scott: Thank you.

11:29.760 --> 11:35.370
Kathleen Jackson: Thank you very much. Suzanne and I don't know if everybody on on the call can just give her a kind of a little round of applause.

11:36.270 --> 11:36.750
Suzanne Scott: Oh, y'all are sweet. Thank you.

11:37.320 --> 11:37.680
Kathleen Jackson: Thank you, Suzanne.

11:38.880 --> 11:39.930
Suzanne Scott: Thank you very much.

11:40.650 --> 11:49.560
Suzanne Scott: Well, I appreciate all that. you know, I don't like to be recognized, so that's always uncomfortable for me. But thank you very, very much. I really appreciate it. I've enjoyed everything that

11:50.460 --> 12:02.220
Suzanne Scott: I've been able to do here of course as a River Authority, she's right. I mean, the thing I focus on the most are the people here, we have such fabulous staff and such dedicated, passionate professionals.

12:02.760 --> 12:10.320
Suzanne Scott: That, you know, bring it to work every day for the health of the basin. So they're really they're the shining star here.

12:11.400 --> 12:18.150
Suzanne Scott: But Region L has been awesome. I've really enjoyed that very much. And of course, I'm glad that we're able to be here today and to

12:19.230 --> 12:22.860
Suzanne Scott: bring that bring all of these leaders together to really

12:24.060 --> 12:28.620
Suzanne Scott: bring this great these great recommendations forward. I think that's

12:28.800 --> 12:31.200
Suzanne Scott: a nice culmination of my leadership

12:31.230 --> 12:40.290
Suzanne Scott: on the Region L to bring that here and bring these ideas forward. But I will still, even though I'm retiring from the River Authority and retiring from

12:40.680 --> 12:51.030
Suzanne Scott: the public sector, I will be going to the nonprofit sector and will be the State Director for the Nature Conservancy here in Texas. So I'm still going to be working on environmental issues.

12:51.660 --> 13:03.750
Suzanne Scott: A lot of water stuff as well on a on a really more on the philanthropic side. So I'm sure some of you will see me again, just with a different hat on. But thank you very much, Kathleen. I appreciate that very much.

13:05.310 --> 13:15.750
Suzanne Scott: So with that, let's move into the meeting agenda and we have minutes from the September 15th meeting.

13:17.190 --> 13:18.000
Suzanne Scott: Was there any

13:19.080 --> 13:23.490
Suzanne Scott: additions, corrections to the minutes that need to be offered at this time.

13:25.140 --> 13:30.000
Temple McKinnon: Yes, I received an edit from Gail that was

13:31.500 --> 13:43.350
Temple McKinnon: giving a plural to Jim Thompson's concern. So she indicated it was concerns that was on page five of the minutes that were distributed to you on the first paragraph first sentence.

13:45.570 --> 13:45.810
Suzanne Scott: Okay.

13:48.600 --> 13:49.320
Suzanne Scott: All right.

13:50.490 --> 13:56.610
Suzanne Scott: So with that correction, do I have motion for the approval of the minutes as corrected?
Gail Peek: So moved.

13:59.220 --> 13:59.880
Steve Walthour: Second,

14:00.120 --> 14:01.680
Suzanne Scott: Okay, Gail moves, Steve

14:01.680 --> 14:02.550
seconds.

14:04.230 --> 14:07.680
Suzanne Scott: All those if there's any opposition, please

14:08.730 --> 14:10.350
Suzanne Scott: let us know your opposition.

14:12.300 --> 14:15.420
Suzanne Scott: Alright, not hearing any. Great the minutes are approved.

14:16.500 --> 14:25.980
Suzanne Scott: So next big agenda item is to consider adoption of the final report and authorize submit all of that report to the Water Development Board.

14:27.210 --> 14:34.140
Suzanne Scott: So this is the opportunity for us to discuss the report. I'm certain that all of you

14:34.800 --> 14:36.450
Suzanne Scott: had the opportunity to read it.

14:36.540 --> 14:37.110
And

14:38.910 --> 14:50.160
Suzanne Scott: I know I guess Temple and or Suzanne, you can sort of talk through the you know who you heard from you know kind of what changed that sort of thing. It just did high level.

14:50.520 --> 14:50.940
But

14:52.590 --> 14:56.070
Suzanne Scott: Is there, I know that there were some

14:58.050 --> 14:59.730
Suzanne Scott: some changes and some adds

15:00.150 --> 15:00.510
to the

15:02.130 --> 15:09.930
Suzanne Scott: interregional coordination committee, as well as the I think the fifth a section on

15:10.410 --> 15:11.700
Suzanne Scott: interregional conflict.

15:12.450 --> 15:15.510
Suzanne Scott: So Suzanne, did you want to highlight those?

15:17.910 --> 15:18.630
Suzanne Scott: You're muted.

15:25.560 --> 15:26.430
Suzanne Schwartz: All right. Thank you.

15:27.780 --> 15:37.500
Suzanne Schwartz: So we'll will start the interregional conflict. Of course we, we added all of the, Temple went through and diligently summarized all of the recommendations which

15:38.250 --> 15:58.110
Suzanne Schwartz: I thought was a massive undertaking and I think it made the report, much more readable. And of course you know that that Kelley added a summary of the committee work. And the enhancing interregional coordination section, Gail, Kevin and Jim

15:59.310 --> 16:05.610
Suzanne Schwartz: worked on issues that Kevin had raised regarding tone of the of the matter.

16:06.780 --> 16:20.520
Suzanne Schwartz: At the last meeting and ultimately ended up doing some wording changes that everyone all three of them agreed on that provided a little bit more precision relating to the language specifically

16:21.840 --> 16:26.220
Suzanne Schwartz: I think a lot especially dealing with it, talking about how

16:27.420 --> 16:40.950
Suzanne Schwartz: it dealt with both how to responsibly develop in the States water resources through identification and of opportunities and also to mitigate or eliminate conflict between regions and specifically

16:41.760 --> 16:48.600
Suzanne Schwartz: what was much more specific about the language relating to the types of conflict that would be

16:49.980 --> 17:01.860
Suzanne Schwartz: reviewed by the Regional Water Planning Groups referencing it back to the Water Development Board language in its rules. So that's that section. And then there were some language that

17:02.910 --> 17:19.560
Suzanne Schwartz: was drafted that Mark worked on on both the viability and also justification of projects in the state water plan that's under the planning, planning water resources for the state as a whole. So those were the changes.

17:19.890 --> 17:21.660
Suzanne Scott: Those were two items that

17:22.680 --> 17:35.190
Suzanne Scott: Representative Larson, Chairman Larson brought up specifically and that we had agreed at the last meeting to come up with some some language to address those two items and thank you Mark for working through that. Appreciate it.

17:37.290 --> 17:42.480
Suzanne Schwartz: So those were really the only major such I would call substantive type changes most

17:43.560 --> 17:57.060
Suzanne Schwartz: and the rest really was a lot of editing, making it readable. You know, one voice, adding acronyms and short forms of words just a lot of editing and I really want to thank

17:57.750 --> 18:11.760
Suzanne Schwartz: Everyone who did that especially Suzanne and Kelley you all were very involved in that process. And I got comments from Melanie on that and David let us know that the report was fine. So

18:13.050 --> 18:24.000
Suzanne Schwartz: with with some luck, we'll, we'll have everyone an approval. But I guess the next question is, does anybody have anything they want to maybe to to change relative to the report as it exists.

18:26.550 --> 18:31.170
Suzanne Scott: Any comments? We did as y'all allowed us to do with the action last time,

18:31.800 --> 18:44.670
Suzanne Scott: we did change out and change around a little bit the, the order of things. I mean, I know we had an original outline. But as we were reading it, it seemed kind of choppy. So we tried to make it read a little bit better. I hope that

18:46.290 --> 18:54.900
Suzanne Scott: I hope you all agree that that the order did kind of clean up some of the, the order of some of the work that we did in the committees.

18:56.520 --> 18:57.330
Suzanne Scott: But any other

18:58.710 --> 19:00.540
Suzanne Scott: questions, comments.

19:00.630 --> 19:17.460
Gail Peek: Suzanne, one one thought I had is, if there are some minor things like grammatical things, are those things we can just give to Temple for editing, as opposed to taking up the time of the committee, and I'm talking about spacing, things like that. Very, very minor.

19:18.180 --> 19:34.710
Mark Evans: Well, Madam Chair, I was gonna ask when we get to the point of making a motion and a second to approve the report itself, I was going to ask if it would be appropriate to include some language in the motion to authorize making any typographical word uses changes that are needed

19:35.760 --> 19:39.180
Mark Evans: for the final report if that would be appropriate to include that in a motion

19:39.780 --> 19:42.120
Suzanne Scott: Yeah, absolutely. I think you're right, because

19:43.830 --> 19:51.330
Suzanne Scott: they're going to have, you know, some fresh eyes look at this too, again, just to make sure before we go to print, so to speak, that all that taken care of. So, yes.

19:52.650 --> 19:56.250
Suzanne Scott: That would definitely be appropriate for the motion.

19:58.290 --> 20:07.200
Suzanne Scott: Any other comments or concerns about, you know, we do want to represent that we're asking for when we ask for approval of this, we're going to ask each of you.

20:07.620 --> 20:17.250
Suzanne Scott: to sign and we do want this to be something that all of us can present as a unified group to the Water Development Board.

20:18.300 --> 20:28.980
Suzanne Scott: Now obviously, that doesn't mean we said at the very beginning, if that doesn't mean that if someone wants to say they don't approve this, that's fine. I mean, I don't think that we're trying to force you into approval.

20:29.430 --> 20:36.360
Suzanne Scott: But we, if you have concerns that haven't been voiced and we would like to hear them. Because again,

20:37.830 --> 20:45.090
Suzanne Scott: all of you have worked very hard in the committees and brought forth recommendations and, you know, there's lots of recommendations here

20:46.830 --> 20:56.010
Suzanne Scott: that the Water Development Board will have to go back and do some work on to, you know, put them into action, so to speak. If the Water Development Board approves that and wants them to but.

20:57.480 --> 21:00.780
Suzanne Scott: So any other questions or comments from anybody?

21:07.560 --> 21:18.030
Suzanne Scott: Okay, I'm not hearing anything. So are we ready to take a guess we're ready to entertain a motion. So Mark, would you like to present your motion.

21:19.260 --> 21:40.110
Mark Evans: Thank you, Madam Chair, I would move that the Council would approve the report, the final report that as submitted this afternoon with the motion would include that the chair would be authorized in conjunction with Water Development Board staff to make any typographical

21:40.110 --> 21:40.320
Mark Evans: or word usage

21:41.580 --> 21:42.780
Mark Evans: changes that are needed.

21:43.410 --> 21:44.220
Mark Evans: for the final

21:44.460 --> 21:46.530
Mark Evans: report prior to printing.

21:48.060 --> 21:49.500
Mark Evans: I hope I covered everything in that.

21:49.530 --> 21:53.400
Suzanne Scott: Can we add to that, and then submit to the Water Development Board.

21:53.460 --> 21:54.180
Mark Evans: Yes.

21:55.980 --> 21:56.280
Suzanne Scott: All right.

21:56.400 --> 21:59.130
Mark Evans: And submit it to the Water Development Board.
Suzanne Scott: Perfect.

21:59.760 --> 22:02.400
Gail Peek: I second.
Suzanne Scott: All right, Gail seconds.

22:03.630 --> 22:04.980
Suzanne Scott: All right. Any more discussion.

22:07.140 --> 22:10.770
Suzanne Scott: I think just for the for the fact that this is a big

22:12.120 --> 22:23.910
Suzanne Scott: action that we're all taking, I would appreciate if Temple could just call through the are the members of the committee, and each person take a vote and signify your approval. So we're doing this officially.

22:24.660 --> 22:25.920
Temple McKinnon: Yes, I will do that.

22:25.980 --> 22:28.710
Temple McKinnon: Sure thing. Steve Walthour.

22:29.550 --> 22:29.850
Steve Walthour: Aye.

22:32.010 --> 22:36.030
Temple McKinnon: Russell Schreiber is absent. Kevin Ward.

22:37.590 --> 22:37.980
Kevin Ward: Aye.

22:40.650 --> 22:47.070
Temple McKinnon: I guess I'll add for the record, I got an email from Russell Schreiber that he was good with the report and sends his regrets he couldn't make it.

22:48.840 --> 22:51.540
Temple McKinnon: Jim Thompson. I don't believe he's been able to join us yet.

22:54.180 --> 22:56.400
Temple McKinnon: Scott Reinert, I don't believe he's on.

22:58.410 --> 22:59.370
Temple McKinnon: Allison Strube.

23:01.560 --> 23:12.420
Suzanne Schwartz: Temple. Please note that Jim Thompson, talked to me yesterday and he's at our the Region D meeting right now but noted that he was good with the report.

23:12.510 --> 23:13.020
Temple McKinnon: Okay, will do.

23:15.180 --> 23:15.930
Temple McKinnon: Gail Peek.

23:16.500 --> 23:16.890
Gail Peek: Aye.

23:17.970 --> 23:18.990
Temple McKinnon: Mark Evans.

23:19.230 --> 23:21.480
Mark Evans: Aye.
Temple McKinnon: Kelley Holcomb.

23:21.960 --> 23:22.320
Kelley Holcomb: Aye.

23:23.520 --> 23:24.240
Temple McKinnon: Ray Buck.

23:27.480 --> 23:28.410
Temple McKinnon: David Wheelock.

23:28.770 --> 23:29.190
David Wheelock: Aye.

23:30.210 --> 23:31.140
Temple McKinnon: Suzanne Scott.

23:31.650 --> 23:33.960
Suzanne Scott: Aye.
Temple McKinnon: Tomas Rodriguez.

23:36.750 --> 23:38.130
Suzanne Scott: You're muted, Tomas.

23:43.980 --> 23:44.970
Tomas Rodriguez: Sorry, yes. Aye.

23:46.020 --> 23:48.240
Temple McKinnon: Thanks. Carl Crull.

23:51.630 --> 23:52.740
Temple McKinnon: Carl I think you're muted.
Carl Crull: Aye.

23:55.500 --> 23:57.840
Temple McKinnon: Thank you. Melanie Barnes.

23:58.560 --> 24:01.050
Melanie Barnes: Aye.
Temple McKinnon: And Patrick Brzozowski.
Patrick Brzozowski: Aye.

24:04.650 --> 24:04.980
Temple McKinnon: All right.

24:05.490 --> 24:07.260
Suzanne Scott: Great. Yay.

24:08.460 --> 24:15.540
Suzanne Scott: A round of applause. Congratulations. We have a final report that's been approved.

24:17.280 --> 24:22.380
Suzanne Scott: And again, I can't say enough, I know Kelley and I both are just so

24:22.440 --> 24:25.170
Suzanne Scott: appreciative of all the time that y'all took,

24:25.290 --> 24:42.300
Suzanne Scott: the chairs of the committees Mark and Steve and Gail, thank you so much for your leadership as well as all the members of this Council who participated in the subcommittees and have given so many hours to this process as we said, when we were all gathering

24:43.620 --> 24:47.640
Suzanne Scott: this was on a very, very fast time frame. And we were able to get it done.

24:48.900 --> 24:56.340
Suzanne Scott: There's good and bad to that that's going to now tell Kathleen that they can give short timeframes for any other committee to get major work done.

24:56.700 --> 24:57.630
Kelley Holcomb: No, please don't

24:57.960 --> 25:00.120
Melanie Barnes: No, no.

25:00.750 --> 25:11.640
Suzanne Scott: No, I'm just kidding. I made that point in my conclusion. I think that there there was there was a lot that I don't think this would have happened if we were not able to meet like this, there would have been no way.

25:12.090 --> 25:23.820
Suzanne Scott: We could not have done this, if we had to go and meet in a location and everyone come together and be able to do this, it would have, I think it would have been impossible to make that happen. So

25:24.810 --> 25:36.330
Suzanne Scott: again, thank you so much and thanks so much to the staff. Temple your people your staff is awesome. And they have just been done tremendous job throughout this entire process and have been so responsive, every time we asked for something

25:36.660 --> 25:40.650
Suzanne Scott: you were Johnny on the spot and we had it right away. So we appreciate that very much.

25:40.920 --> 25:41.580
Temple McKinnon: Thanks a lot.

25:41.970 --> 25:42.630
Suzanne Scott: Thank you for that.

25:43.980 --> 25:50.010
Suzanne Scott: Alright, so now we need to talk about the next steps in the process. Temple, you're going to outline that?

25:53.850 --> 26:05.580
Temple McKinnon: I will do that. So as Suzanne mentioned there is a, well in your draft report you saw a signature sheet so we intend to route that to you all by DocuSign following this meeting.

26:07.380 --> 26:19.200
Temple McKinnon: I think it's up to y'all have any future grammatical edits we want to receive we're totally open to that but know that our communications shop is going to, we're going to pass it off to them.

26:21.030 --> 26:27.660
Temple McKinnon: I was intending to do that right after this meeting, seeing as there's no edits discussed in this meeting. So

26:29.520 --> 26:37.680
Temple McKinnon: I guess if anybody has, Gail you mentioned you had some changes you wanted to send that were minor, if y'all want to send those my way

26:39.180 --> 26:47.100
Temple McKinnon: today, if you have them compiled, that would be great. And I want to send it on to our folks to finalize and get going. And Suzanne and

26:47.460 --> 27:00.900
Temple McKinnon: Kelley, what's also routing through DocuSign is the front matter of that report, the two of you have signatures spaces on a letter of submitted to us. So just the two have you will have two things to sign on what's routing to you through DocuSign.

27:00.930 --> 27:20.430
Suzanne Scott: And Temple, just for the I guess just protocol here for those members of the committee who are not here today, but still would like to be shown signing this document, is that possible if they weren't here for the vote? I just don't know. Is there a

27:21.690 --> 27:23.070
Suzanne Scott: protocol issue with that.

27:24.270 --> 27:25.980
Temple McKinnon: It's a good question. Um,

27:26.490 --> 27:34.860
Kelley Holcomb: I would think the answer would be yes, unless they have a dissenting opinion associated with the report, but I don't think that's the case that we are generally an agreement with it.

27:35.490 --> 27:38.880
Temple McKinnon: I can put I can put some language at the bottom

27:39.930 --> 27:44.640
Temple McKinnon: that with those signatures indicate as members approving of the report, however,

27:46.920 --> 27:54.630
Temple McKinnon: you know if they weren't present to take a vote, but there was no dissension received otherwise I'll figure out some legal appropriately legal language.

27:54.840 --> 27:56.310
Mark Evans: I think I think when they

27:56.910 --> 27:59.730
Mark Evans: sign the report that that signifies their approval

27:59.820 --> 28:00.600
Mark Evans: even though there weren't

28:00.660 --> 28:01.140
Kelley Holcomb: Agreed.

28:01.320 --> 28:04.170
Mark Evans: for an actual vote. I think it's two separate pieces. It's the vote

28:04.590 --> 28:09.900
Mark Evans: to approve the report and then the signing the actual report. That's just my opinion.

28:10.530 --> 28:22.230
Suzanne Scott: I would think you're probably right. I mean, the signing of the report is essentially sign, you know, putting your name to something that we're submitting versus the actual official vote for the Minutes and that sort of thing.

28:22.590 --> 28:32.340
Temple McKinnon: Okay.
Suzanne Scott: If your lawyers agreed Temple, I would, I would like to have every slot filled on the signature page if at all possible, even if they were not here today to take the action.

28:32.790 --> 28:39.660
Temple McKinnon: Okay, I'll put a message, indicating that and whatever routes as it routes to to y'all through DocuSign.

28:40.470 --> 28:58.260
Kelley Holcomb: So Temple, I've got a small question. I hope I'm not the only one. But if I am so be it. DocuSign, we've never, I've never used DocuSign, is there any special instructions or issues or is it going to be self explanatory when the the invitation email comes.

29:00.510 --> 29:06.480
Temple McKinnon: In my experience, it's pretty self explanatory, but I will definitely send you all instructions

29:07.500 --> 29:08.820
Temple McKinnon: separate from the email

29:09.210 --> 29:12.870
Melanie Barnes: That's my, that's my recollection too when I've gotten things to sign.

29:14.100 --> 29:15.420
Melanie Barnes: It's pretty straightforward.

29:16.950 --> 29:19.560
Kelley Holcomb: Okay, but so was Zoom today and ii took me 10 minutes to get on the Zoom call. I don't know what that says about me

29:21.600 --> 29:22.470
Kelley Holcomb: or Zoom, but

29:24.090 --> 29:26.340
Temple McKinnon: I'll send you guys I'll send you some instructions.

29:26.610 --> 29:30.660
Melanie Barnes: Yeah, I had some issues with Zoom too. it's it's cranky today.

29:33.120 --> 29:43.110
Suzanne Scott: Well, and sometimes those DocuSign, I mean, at least it's the first time you get it you if you get maybe Temple will send you an email and then you may need to check your junk.

29:43.320 --> 29:47.790
Suzanne Scott: Just because at times if you've never dealt with it, it'll go into your junk.

29:49.230 --> 29:52.710
Temple McKinnon: And I'll be sending you an email with instructions from me. But just like

29:53.910 --> 29:58.050
Temple McKinnon: my name is not going to be on the DocuSign email that comes to you if that's just an auto generated

29:59.430 --> 30:00.210
Temple McKinnon: separate email.

30:00.720 --> 30:06.330
Suzanne Scott: Yeah I know the ones I've gotten from the Water Development Board sometimes say Water, TWDB or something I think.

30:07.920 --> 30:09.150
Temple McKinnon: Okay. Through contracts. Suzanne Scott: Yeah.

30:11.250 --> 30:12.450
Kelley Holcomb: Kevin, is that your best friend?

30:16.710 --> 30:31.650
Temple McKinnon: So are there other logistics, I guess so y'all know, I'm scheduled to go to a work session to our Bboard October 19th. I believe Suzanne's going to join me for that to just present your report.

30:33.150 --> 30:44.970
Temple McKinnon: Those work sessions, you can access those, those are through Goto Meeting and you can access those on our website. So I'll send you all out a link, an email about that work session that's happening as well.

30:49.170 --> 30:52.530
Temple McKinnon: Are there any other logistics I'm forgetting to cover that you'd like me to do?

30:53.460 --> 30:54.030
Suzanne Scott: Um

30:55.380 --> 31:02.520
Suzanne Scott: You're going to make sure, I guess we asked on the report, that it be submitted to the Water Development Board and then the two

31:04.350 --> 31:07.080
Suzanne Scott: the two chairs. So, chair of

31:08.160 --> 31:17.760
Suzanne Scott: Chair, Chair Perry and Chair Larson and then the Regional Water Planning Group members.
Temple McKinnon: Right.
Suzanne Scott: So that would be sent

31:20.010 --> 31:22.590
Suzanne Scott: I guess electronically to everyone not hard copy.

31:24.240 --> 31:24.570
Temple McKinnon: Right.

31:24.780 --> 31:25.620
Suzanne Scott: Just electronic

31:26.100 --> 31:27.270
Temple McKinnon: We will do that. Yes.

31:28.710 --> 31:37.080
Suzanne Scott: Who will be, will there be hard copies actually distributed to the members of the Water Development Board or do they get it also electronically? How does that work?

31:39.450 --> 31:40.680
Temple McKinnon: Um,

31:42.330 --> 31:45.810
Temple McKinnon: electronically at least. I haven't talked to our communications folks about

31:46.950 --> 31:53.550
Temple McKinnon: printing what's what's involved with that, but most definitely will get it to them electronically.
Suzanne Scott: Yeah.

31:53.610 --> 31:58.440
Suzanne Scott: I mean, yeah, I mean if that if that works. I think that would be fine. I just didn't know what their protocol.

31:58.500 --> 32:01.860
Suzanne Scott: Again, if it
Temple McKinnon: Yeah just in this environment it's kind of hard to

32:02.910 --> 32:04.620
Temple McKinnon: to document production so

32:05.700 --> 32:06.270
Temple McKinnon: that's the plan.

32:06.300 --> 32:09.090
Melanie Barnes: Temple, I had a question. When, when is it

32:11.160 --> 32:13.920
Melanie Barnes: appropriate to share it with our own regional groups?

32:16.020 --> 32:28.260
Temple McKinnon: Um, well, I'm gonna we'll email it out to we'll email out the final version to you all and then also to the planning group members because they're all their CC'd on the report.

32:28.410 --> 32:28.650
Melanie Barnes: Okay.

32:31.800 --> 32:39.840
Temple McKinnon: And I expect it to be, I mean it's it's pretty it's pretty baked. I mean, it's gonna be cleaned up a little bit, like I was saying grammatical stuff that some of y'all may have found

32:41.370 --> 32:42.690
Temple McKinnon: and your signature sheet so

32:43.920 --> 32:45.180
Suzanne Schwartz: Kevin. Kevin has something.

32:45.990 --> 32:49.020
Kevin Ward: So what picture are you going to put on the cover of it? I mean is it

32:49.620 --> 32:51.690
Kevin Ward: gonna be some water feature or you know

32:52.680 --> 32:56.190
Temple McKinnon: What's on it now is a picture of the Guadalupe River. Oh, there you go, and Suzanne showing it.

32:57.870 --> 32:58.560
Suzanne Scott: This is what was on the website.

32:59.310 --> 32:59.670
Temple McKinnon: Yeah.

33:00.060 --> 33:03.270
Kevin Ward: Just wondering.
Mark Evans: I thought we'd have a picture the status as a whole.

33:07.770 --> 33:11.670
Suzanne Scott: We want to woo them with beauty and then we'll get into the meat.

33:14.160 --> 33:14.970
Steve Walthour: Suzanne.

33:15.600 --> 33:15.900
Suzanne Scott: Yes.

33:16.950 --> 33:20.280
Steve Walthour: So this means we're not having our October 7th meeting, is that correct?

33:21.450 --> 33:28.530
Suzanne Scott: As far as I'm thinking that meeting is now cancelled. So y'all are released from October the seventh.

33:29.730 --> 33:31.500
Suzanne Scott: We got finished faster. Yay.

33:32.610 --> 33:34.680
Suzanne Scott: But I think at this point

33:35.400 --> 33:40.290
Suzanne Scott: I think all the logistics are kind of, Temple sort of went through and

33:41.910 --> 33:52.830
Suzanne Scott: I think we're pretty much down to the wire here as far as making sure that all the final edits are done. But again, I think it's going to be mainly just cleaning it up to make sure that

33:54.690 --> 34:00.660
Suzanne Scott: it's all you know the margins are right, and the spacing is right, and the spelling is right and all that so.

34:02.580 --> 34:06.060
Suzanne Scott: Okay. Anything else anybody have any questions or comments or concerns.

34:07.560 --> 34:08.610
Suzanne Scott: Okay, great.

34:10.830 --> 34:16.530
Suzanne Scott: Before before we go to the last item here, Kelley, did you want to say anything?

34:18.240 --> 34:27.450
Kelley Holcomb: Um, thank you all for your help, Temple, Suzanne, Vicki. I'm glad it's over with. Gotta we got lots of problems in East

34:27.450 --> 34:28.620
Kelley Holcomb: Texas to deal with and

34:29.700 --> 34:36.300
Kelley Holcomb: this has been a pretty big consumer of time for all of us. So good work. Glad glad we're done. Thank you all.

34:36.630 --> 34:39.300
Suzanne Schwartz: And it looks like Allison just joined us.

34:39.360 --> 34:39.870
Suzanne Scott: Oh, good.

34:40.110 --> 34:40.380
Great.

34:41.430 --> 34:43.590
Allison Strube: Sorry, I was late, the meeting ran long.

34:46.170 --> 34:48.150
Suzanne Scott: Do we want to add, can we again

34:49.110 --> 34:58.020
Suzanne Scott: protocol wise, Mark, can we ask if she would like to be shown voting for the report is it do that before we adjourn. Is that appropriate or no?

34:59.550 --> 35:01.740
Mark Evans: I, I think it would be appropriate

35:03.150 --> 35:04.380
Mark Evans: for Allison to

35:05.760 --> 35:06.930
Mark Evans: have the opportunity to

35:08.610 --> 35:12.240
Mark Evans: show her support for the report since she's present.

35:15.180 --> 35:27.360
Suzanne Scott: Allison, would you like to be, we did the early vote on the adoption of the report and everybody voted in favor and just didn't know if you wanted to be shown in the Minutes voting for the report.

35:28.110 --> 35:34.950
Allison Strube: If that's acceptable to the group, I would. And I do vote in favor of the report after reviewing it.
Suzanne Scott: All right.

35:35.130 --> 35:39.540
Suzanne Scott: Perfect. Thank you. We would love to have you voting for. So that's great.

35:40.050 --> 35:40.410
Allison Strube: Thank you.

35:41.550 --> 35:42.270
Temple McKinnon: Allison.

35:42.390 --> 35:48.960
Temple McKinnon: I'll just add since you went there. We're going to route a signature sheet through DocuSign, so we'll be doing that later today. Okay.

35:48.990 --> 35:51.450
Allison Strube: Okay, perfect.
Suzanne Scott: Great. Thank you.

35:51.990 --> 36:00.870
Suzanne Scott: All right, well, as Steve has mentioned, there are no future meetings, other than if y'all will want to enjoy the Water Development Board's

36:02.340 --> 36:12.390
Suzanne Scott: work session with me and you can join that through the link that Temple is going to be sending when the Water Development Board meets in their workshop on the

36:13.260 --> 36:14.190
Temple McKinnon: 19th

36:14.280 --> 36:15.840
Temple McKinnon: of October at one o'clock.

36:16.260 --> 36:17.910
Suzanne Scott: 19th of October at one o'clock.

36:19.350 --> 36:28.740
Suzanne Scott: So again, Suzanne Schwartz. Thank you so much for all of your efforts, you were really instrumental in pulling all this together.

36:29.280 --> 36:41.160
Suzanne Scott: Did a lot of work behind the scenes that most of these people aren't even aware of and really appreciate that. You're very good at what you do. So we're all very, very appreciative of your help and

36:41.190 --> 36:42.060
Suzanne Schwartz: It was my pleasure.

36:43.140 --> 36:49.800
Suzanne Schwartz: My pleasure. And thank you. I'm very delighted to all elected chairs and thank you both for all of your work too.

36:50.040 --> 36:51.450
Suzanne Schwartz: And all of you for your work.

36:52.020 --> 36:57.060
Kelley Holcomb: Oh, Suzanne. Did you say we've come to a meeting of the minds in consensus versus

36:58.560 --> 37:01.320
Kelley Holcomb: committee style decision making. Is that a good place to end?

37:08.760 --> 37:09.720
Mark Evans: Oh my goodness.

37:10.440 --> 37:12.450
Kelley Holcomb: Delicate balance. We're achieving that delicate balance.

37:12.990 --> 37:17.790
Suzanne Scott: Delicate balance. That's right. Right. Any other public comment before we adjourn?

37:18.120 --> 37:25.260
Temple McKinnon: Oh, wait, wait. So you had an agenda item regarding future meetings, I know you acknowledged, you didn't want to, you know, the seventh is off.

37:25.770 --> 37:29.220
Temple McKinnon: Is that, that's good. Let's leave it at that, or

37:29.430 --> 37:30.150
Suzanne Scott: Well, I guess.

37:30.210 --> 37:32.130
Kelley Holcomb: Do you need formal action?

37:33.420 --> 37:45.060
Suzanne Scott: I guess the question is this committee, I guess that's right Temple. I forgot. This group is still formed until the state water plan is approved. Is that correct?

37:46.740 --> 37:50.490
Temple McKinnon: Correct until the next state water plan. And that's going to be next summer.

37:51.120 --> 37:57.150
Suzanne Scott: So I guess what we can. So what I would suggest to this group is the fact that

37:58.950 --> 38:08.220
Suzanne Scott: the Water Development Board is probably going to give some type of direction to staff to on all of these various recommendations so they'll probably be some

38:09.810 --> 38:21.570
Suzanne Scott: desire to get the committee back together again at some point to, you know, continue to work on the recommendations or to clarify something or do I would imagine between now and the end of

38:22.410 --> 38:30.360
Suzanne Scott: next year. So, but I don't know what those dates would be now. So I think that we would have to have some future convenings.

38:31.230 --> 38:48.300
Suzanne Scott: And obviously, that means I will not be chairing this group. So that will now fall to Kelley, probably. Or y'all can make a decision about what goes next, but I would imagine, there will be some future meetings, not October 7th, but something in the future before your term is up.

38:49.710 --> 38:58.560
Temple McKinnon: I will communicate to this group, you know, as you indicate what our future actions are on your report your recommendation. So I'll continue to communicate and

38:59.610 --> 39:09.780
Temple McKinnon: I guess Kelley, I'll be in touch with you about, I'll keep the whole group apprised as to the timeline of the state water plan adoption as far as what that means for the existence of this Council.

39:10.260 --> 39:10.770
So, um

39:12.270 --> 39:13.590
Temple McKinnon: I'll be in touch it sounds like.

39:14.370 --> 39:14.520
Kelley Holcomb: Yeah I

39:15.540 --> 39:30.600
Kelley Holcomb: can't envision that we would need to meet anytime between now and potentially spring of next year when the Leg may or may not be dealing with this particular topic, depending on how they decide to move forward with their business.

39:31.440 --> 39:34.980
Melanie Barnes: So that said, Kelley does this group get involved at all

39:36.180 --> 39:41.430
Melanie Barnes: trying to give opinions or write or chime in on legislation?

39:43.560 --> 39:45.090
Kelley Holcomb: Um, I

39:45.210 --> 39:46.350
Melanie Barnes: Mark is saying no.

39:46.740 --> 39:50.880
Kelley Holcomb: I don't think that we do collectively, I think we all have that right individually

39:51.390 --> 39:53.190
Kelley Holcomb: depending on who we represent and their

39:53.220 --> 39:58.230
Kelley Holcomb: desires, but yeah committee as a whole, I don't think Council can or should.

40:00.150 --> 40:03.060
Melanie Barnes: I just want. I just wanted to be wanted to be clear.

40:03.660 --> 40:20.610
Suzanne Scott: Now I did tell Temple that if if for some reason during the legislative session either Chairman Larson or Chairman Perry want to have any kind of testimony on this report, you know, I'll be glad to come back along with Kelley to do any of that.

40:22.080 --> 40:25.020
Suzanne Scott: Because I'm you know I'm still going to be around, but

40:26.460 --> 40:36.870
Suzanne Scott: you know, that would be up to their prerogative I guess after, you know, not sure how many hearings are going to be taking place next year during the legislative session on things like this, but I do know that

40:38.160 --> 40:41.610
Suzanne Scott: they I know Chairman Larson, at least was interested in this report.

40:43.110 --> 40:52.050
Kelley Holcomb: By the way, I was quick to note with Suzanne that just because she's leaving the river authority doesn't necessarily mean she's vacating her position on the council or as chair, just for the record.

40:52.830 --> 40:58.200
Mark Evans: Thankyou for saying that Kelley. I was gonna say local government recollection is that

40:58.230 --> 41:03.900
Mark Evans: you continue to be chair until your successor is appointed, elected and qualified so

41:04.920 --> 41:08.970
Mark Evans: that's entirely up to your discretion, I guess whether or not you want to continue.

41:10.380 --> 41:11.820
Mark Evans: Once again that's just my opinion.

41:12.480 --> 41:22.590
Suzanne Scott: I appreciate that, I guess I'll need to make sure that Region L agrees with that because I was technically Region L's appointment so they'll have to decide if they still want me to serve in that role, but

41:23.040 --> 41:24.000
Kelley Holcomb: No pressure. Suzanne.

41:24.330 --> 41:27.780
Suzanne Scott: No pressure.
Kelley Holcomb: I don't want to see you go at this point in the game. We're right here near the end. So

41:27.840 --> 41:35.490
Mark Evans: Well, and before we go as well, and I'm sure I speak for everyone. I want to want to thank you, Suzanne and Kelley for your leadership

41:36.030 --> 41:44.400
Mark Evans: throughout this this process that we've been through in the last however many months its been, four or five, I've lost certainly lost track of time, but it's been a

41:45.660 --> 41:52.230
Mark Evans: great effort on y'alls part to provide the kind of leadership that was needed to make this  what we think is a successful report.

41:54.810 --> 41:56.880
Kelley Holcomb: Thank y'all for having the confidence in us to do it.

41:57.270 --> 41:58.950
Suzanne Scott: Absolutely. I appreciate that.

42:00.330 --> 42:12.300
Suzanne Scott: All right, so, so on this item of future convening meetings, then know October 7 meeting, but stay tuned to determine if other meetings that this Council will take place before the term is up. Okay?

42:13.740 --> 42:15.420
Suzanne Scott: All right
Steve Walthour: Do you need to to

42:15.840 --> 42:19.740
