<br />WATER ALLOCATION DISCUSSION
<br />
<br />Nichols stated this matter was on the agenda for preliminary discussion. and asked
<br />Attorney Beise for legal observations. Beise read from the State Statutes which set forth
<br />specifically the Colorado Law relative to allocation and distribution of wa~er owned by
<br />Conservancy Districts. He stated the Big Tom Project in the Northern"Colorado Water
<br />Conservancy District allocates their water in perpetuity, and suggested that our Board
<br />might consider a shorter term. He said we can contract directly with recognized Agencies
<br />on an amount the Board feels is available from the supply at that time, and if the Party
<br />does not use the water. it could remain the property of the District. A general discussion
<br />ensued during which time Directors expressed their observations relative to the advisability
<br />of short term contracts vs. long term contracts, and proceedure for actual allocation of
<br />water from year to year. Eng4Iee.r Doe suggested that he and the Engineering Committee
<br />develop a water allocation proposal for submission to the Board.
<br />
<br />Cooper asked if the District should help the National Reclamation Associati.on att~mpt to
<br />remove the 160 acre limit required by Reclamation Law. Christy observed tha.t the
<br />National Association ia trying to get this limitation removed, and suggested that the Dis-
<br />trict might want to attempt to get the Fry..Ark exempted from thai particular stipUlation.
<br />Beise urged that if the Board accepts Engineer Doe's offer. it be understood that Doe and
<br />the Engineering Committee will consult with representatives of the Bureau of Reclamation
<br />who have vast knowledge of this complex subject. Everett moved, seconded by Young
<br />that the Board authorize the Engineer ana the Engineering Committee to wo.rk with the
<br />Bureau on setting up preliminary allocation proceedures for review. Unanimously carried.
<br />
<br />OTHER BUSINESS
<br />
<br />Beise suggested the Board members, individually and collectively, express their appro-
<br />ciation to Mrs. Mollie Brown, Office Manager, for her exceptional service to the District.
<br />He felt she had demonstrated unique administrative abilities while serving two different
<br />managers, and while running the office in the absence of a General Manager.
<br />
<br />"
<br />
<br />Nichola reported that upon the death of former General Manager Bouatead, he was ap-
<br />pointed to represent the District on the Steering Committee of the Arkansas Valley Econ..
<br />omic Development Council. Tbe Board approved,
<br />
<br />Nichols read a letter from Attorney Beise requesting revision in the fee paid the Firm of
<br />Fairfield and Wood by the Conservancy District for legal service. Nichols stated the
<br />monthly fee would remain at $600, but the hourly fee would increase from $25. 00 to $32. 00,
<br />Young commended Beise and the members of his Firm for their past work, and said he
<br />felt the proposal was in order and in the best intereat of the Diatrict. Christy suggested
<br />that Beise withdraw ihe letter and remaln at the existing figure, Young moved, seconded
<br />by McCurdy, that the request by the'Iegal Firm he approved, effective Aprill, 1967,
<br />Motion unanimously carried.
<br />
<br />Young requeated that the Manager contact the Architect and obtain estimates for putting
<br />a urinal in the building.
<br />
<br />Christy asked the Board if it was their will that he repre8ent the District at the National
<br />Rivers and Harbors Congress meeting, and the Wat~r for Peace Conference in Washington..
<br />D. C. Shoun moved, seconded hy Dilley, th8t the Board' authorize Christy to be our official
<br />representative at these water meetings. Motion unanimously carried.
<br />
<br />Nichols introduced Mr. Clarence Burr, a member of the Colorado Water Conservation
<br />Board, who expresaed his pleasure at being able to attend the Board meeting, and con..
