1. Adoption schedule - update (download 100k PDF)

2. Subbasin Plan Implementation (download 200k PDF)

Discussion lead by Council staff on concepts for project selection process for FY 06 and FY 07 and beyond. This will include a summary of comments on process issues and concepts for aggregation of M&E strategies and subbasin objectives for prioritization. Background: At the last meeting, staff presented concepts for implementing plans and the next project selection process which included alternatives for initiating the provincial review process and soliciting for projects based on subbasin plans in various formats and timeframes. Staff asked for additional input from RCG members as part of formal comments of the amendment process. At the meeting we heard general support for moving forward with the provincial review process that would produce recommendations for FY 2007 and support for organizing the program and performing a "roll up" or province planning exercise during the interim period.

3. Recovery planning

Discussion from Rob Walton on coordination between subbasin planning and ESA products. The discussion will include timeline and critical path for recovery planning; use of subbasin plans; and status of the Lower Columbia Fish Recovery Board's draft plan and how it will be reviewed and used by NOAA. Background: One of the purposes of the RCG is to seek coordination between subbasin planning and ESA products. With NOAA setting a more definite schedule for recovery planning in 2005, the RCG should understand how the elements of subbasin plans will be used.
