         VII.  Topics for Future Meetings

               A.      Development of a methodology and policy to account for new yield from capturing
                       local storm water in the basin.
               B.      Development of a methodology and policy to account for groundwater storage losses
                       in the basin resulting from the spreading of additional water sources.
               C.      Development of a methodology and policy to account for recycled water recharge.

               D.      Develop a protocol to increase the accuracy and consistency of data reported to the
                       Watermaster.

               E.      Develop  a  policy  to  account  for  transfers  of  water  that  may  result  when  an
                       Appropriator provides water service to an Overlying Party.

        VIII.  Comments from the Watermaster Committee Members

               Member Zoba noted that in looking at the agenda, three agencies have only one individual
               assigned to the Watermaster, and expressed his viewpoint regarding the adjudication as a
               peace treaty among all of the Member agencies, ensuring they all know how the Basin is
               going to be managed.  He requested that Legal Counsel forward a letter to the general
               manager or city manager of each agency as an encouragement to assign an individual from
               the agency so that each agency would have an alternate and regular Member.  There was
               a  consensus  among  the  other  Members  for  Legal  Counsel  to  move  forward  with  the
               suggestion.
