RECORD OF PRDCEEOING

:1

Springs feel this price is very reasonable and the water will be necessary for future
growth.

"

Attorney Bei::;e suggested the matter is now at the point where (l) the Lamar Officials
must review the material and decide whether they wish to continue their interest in
joining the District. and (2) the Board of Directors of the Southeastern Colorado
Water Conservancy District must declde whether they wish to accept the Lamar Re-
quest under certain prDvisions and conditions. Mayer Sunday inquired as to what kind
of time table the Board of Directors might set on this matter. President Nichols
stated the Board would di&cuss the material very thoroughly at the December 21
meeting and. if Lamar is still interested and the Board willing to negotiate. they
would meet again in January 1968 with the hope of resolving the matter. Milenski
inquired as to how Lamar is able to furnish water for a City of its size and use only
1.300 acre feet. Mr. Randle stated this figure is developed at the treatment plant
and feels the figures are accurate.

Thomson asked the Lamar representatives lIin the event the Board of Directors re-
quest the assistance of Lamar. Colorado, to get the irrigated area in Prowers
County to the Kansas line in the District. would they accept this responsibility"?
Mayor Sunday acknowledged this mutter had not been discussed previously. but that
if it is a requirement, they will be happy to determine the feeling of the people in
Prowers County.

APPOINTMENT OF DELEGATES - COLORADO RIVER WATER USERS MEETING:

;1
:1

President Nichols stated the annual meeting of the Colorado River Water Users
Association will be held in Las Vegas, Nevada, Dec~mber 7-8. and referred to
tbe policy of the Board of Directors wherein five Directors, plus such staf!, and
advisors as authorized by the Board may attend. Young said this policy was de-
veloped appro.ximately 3 yea.rs ago and it might be in the best interest of the Distric.t
to have it reviewed for 1966. He also urged that whenever possible attendance at
such meetings should be rotated between Board members, Mr. Young observed that
the Colorado River Water Users Assocation meeting is extremely critical because
of the fact that the Southe:J.stern Colorado Water Conservancy District has a decree
on the Colorado River and attendance enables Directors to become better educated
on wa.ter matters and to become acquainted with representatives fram similar dis'"
tricts along the Colorado River. Secretary McCurdy stated he attended the meeting
for the first time last yeat. and felt .he derived a great deal of information from it
which will enable him to ~erVe the District more effectively as a Director. Milenski
suggested that the Board should analyze the policy involving attendance at meetings,
in order to bring it into proper perspective. After general discussion Young moved.
seconded by Schroeder, that President Nichols, General Manager Thomson, Director
James Wagner. Attorney Charles Beise. Advisor Judge S. Philip Cabibi, and
Advisor Ed Evans represent the Conservancy District at tills meeting. Motion
unanimously carried.
