The RG.RT. has made the decision that <br />water activities that address this issue be favorably considered for funding from the <br />Water Supply Reserve Account, SB 2005 -179, providing the proposed water activities <br />meet the SWSI findings for the Basin and the Criteria and Guidelines for funding. <br /> <br />At the December 12, 2006 and January 9, 2007 the RG.RT. meetings, the <br />membership voted to pursue several projects, and are requesting that funding be <br />allocated from SB 2005 - 179 to support these projects. The RG.RT. is requesting <br />authorization and consideration for distribution of Funds pursuant to SB 2005-179, for <br />discretionary Basin Funds or Statewide Funds. <br /> <br />At the December 12, 2006 meeting, funding requests were considered by <br />RG.R.T. for the following projects: <br /> <br />PROJECT AND AMOUNT REQUESTED SOURCE <br /> SB 179 <br />ALAMOSA RIVER IN-STREAM FLOW PROJECT BASIN <br />$64,500 <br />100 YEARS OF SAN LUIS VALLEY RESERVOIRS CELEBRATION BASIN <br />$13,000 <br /> <br />Page 1 of 3 <br />
