__________________________________________________________________________________

Enclosed is the agenda for the May 12, 2004 joint workshop of the Trinity Management Council (TMC), Trinity Adaptive Management Working Group (TAMWG), Scientific Advisory Board (SAB), and Trinity River Restoration Program (TRRP) Staff.  The meeting will be held at the Victorian Inn Restaurant's conference room starting at 8:30 a.m.  Lodging may be obtained at the Victorian Inn (530-623-4432) or the 49er Gold Country Inn (530-623-4937). 

The workshop will focus on the overall Trinity River restoration strategy, restoration objectives, and initial actions established in the Trinity River Flow Evaluation Report (TRFER), as well as roles and responsibilities for executing the Record of Decision (ROD) and Implementation Plan.  The primary outcome of the workshop should be a shared understanding of Program objectives and a common vision for the future that will be documented in the Strategic Plan.  As discussed at the April meetings of the TMC and TAMWG, the morning session will include presentations by TRFER authors on key components of the Flow Evaluation Report, Implementation Plan, and ROD.  The draft Strategic Plan will be used as a discussion tool during the workshop, and subsequently revised as necessary (please bring your copy distributed in April; extras will be available at the meeting).  Time will be available at the end of the morning session for a group discussion of key implementation issues identified in the presentations.  A field tour is scheduled for the afternoon to discuss lessons learned from past restoration activities and the challenges posed by future implementation projects.  

A 46 passenger bus will provide transportation for primary members of the TMC, TAMWG, SAB, and Staff.  Designated alternates and other participants may have to carpool depending on attendance (bring a van if you have one available).  Note the 8:30 a.m. start time for this meeting, and please drive safely!  Bring your own lunch to eat on the bus while traveling to the first field stop.  Due to the very tight schedule, there will not be time to obtain your lunch once the meeting starts.  Those who overnight in Weaverville can obtain lunches from several sources in town.
