Materials Specific Details
When the Idaho Water Resource Board was created as a State agency in 1965 its eight members were George L. Crookham, Jr., Leonard E. Graham, Dr. Evan M. Kackley, Charles J. Marshall, Arlie L. Parkins, Edward Reichert, John Streiff, and George L. Yost. Charged with formulating and implementing a State Water Plan, constructing and operating water projects, appropriating public waters and acquiring real property for water projects, the minutes of the board reflect their methods of fulfilling that charge.
Included with the minutes are legislation, correspondence, reports, and budgets. A selected list of this material follows. The number in parentheses is a reference to the folder in which the material is found. The first twenty-four meetings of the board were numbered consecutively, therefore (15th) indicates the material will be found in the folder for the fifteenth meeting. Beginning in 1968 the meetings were numbered by indicating the number of the meeting within the calendar year, therefore(3-68) refers to the third meeting in 1968. The contents of several miscellaneous IWRB folders are listed following the list of material found with the minutes.
