After a joint meeting of the MRRIC Drafting Team and Review Panel in Denver last month, the process to recommend a charter for the Missouri River Recovery Implementation Committee in nearly complete. Conservation Districts and local stakeholders remain well-represented in the process. In its current form, the Charter allows up to 2 members specifically from each of the following areas: Irrigation, Recreation, Agriculture, Conservation Districts, and local government. Additional seats remain available for other interests as well. The next MRRIC Drafting Team meeting is January 22nd and 23rd, when it is expected that a Charter will be agreed upon and forwarded to the Secretary of the Army.
