Board Meeting-- <br />Platoro Reservoir LegiSlation <br /> <br />As you will recall. the conejos Water Conservancy District <br />requested. and the Board supported. an authorization for the <br />Board to provide a combination of grant and loan to the <br />district in order that the district could purchase the Platoro <br />Reservoir. While the Board was authorized to so proceed by the <br />1987 annual projects authorization bill. federal legislation is <br />needed to effect the transfer of the reservoir from the Bureau <br />of Reclamation to the district. <br /> <br />Negotiations have been underway between the district and <br />Reclamation over the past year concerning the terms and <br />conditions of the proposed transfer. Agreement has recently <br />been reached which is reflected in the attached letter and <br />proposed legislation. <br /> <br />I recommend that the Board support the passage of this <br />proposed legislation and authorize me to provide such <br />assistance to the district as it may wish in seeking the <br />enactment of this bill by Congress. <br /> <br />JWM/gl <br />Enclosures: as stated <br />cc: David Harrison <br /> <br />9633E <br />
