Show If regular meetings, say once a month, are not possible for this larger group named, have six-week strategy planning and the follow-up with smaller groups acting in the interim to see that strategy is carried out. H. Strategy Planning Strategies should be identified, and concentrated on, and people assigned to carry them forward. 1. Working with the Governor on two fronts: a. Environmental protection - stream flows, wildlife habitat, and Utah Lake, primarily. b. Getting the Governor to form a Sub Committee to address efficient water management by the State as a cheaper alternative to federally developed water. (Use all the available arguments - reducing high taxes, funding available from the Federal Gov't to help do this, obligation to cooperate with Federal government, etc.) This was an effective tool when the Sub- Committee addressed the Forest Service Roadless Area Review this past year, in developing both a State philosophy and policy toward wilderness. Through Sub-Committee effort, the Governor is provided solid information on which to make decisions. And, his employees learn about issues! We've got to get the Governor controlling the Water Conservancy District power, and opening up the State operations. 2. Start working with the State legislature. 3. Hitting hard in every way on high taxes: media exposure and discussion; pressure on the the Governor and the public to associate CUP with high taxes. 3. Continuing pressure on the Bureau and the Forest Service to comply with Administration Water Policy, Administrative Directives and Orders. 4. Keeping Washington informed on our needs and activities. In the next few weeks, I'11 concentrate on working with Pete Hovingh, Reimherr, Kaeding and Kellner on a simplified two-page brochure and membership form, combined. The usual Christmas activity is going by the board, this year, and may be spent at the hospital, so I'll have more time now, than you. I'll also work on a newsletter - with you. Dorothy |
