The AGUA Board of Directors was approached with an offer to make our first purchase for <br />water. The Board foresees that with the position we are in. we must start purchasing water now. because <br />in the future we may not be able to continue purchasing water from the City of Pueblo and/or the City of <br />Colorado Springs. Those Cities are currently selling AGUA excess waters that they do not need. On the <br />other hand. they are also expecting growth in those areas and possibly won't be able to furnish water to <br />AGUA in the near future as they are now. If AGUA were to acquire their own rights, a little at a time, we <br />would then have control of our own releases when it comes down to a dry year. <br /> <br />At this time. the Board has decided to call for our Annual Meeting and take the opportunity to discuss and <br />vote on the purchasing of the water right (the Excelsior Ditch). Currently the eWeB (Colorado Water <br />Conservation Board) has approved to loan AGUA the money needed to purchase the right, contingent <br />upon a majority of the vote of its membership and an appraisal. So, as you can see, we need each and <br />every one of you to vote. Attached is a memo from Bill Green from the CWCB. This is a memo he <br />submitted to the CWCB Board of Directors for approval of the loan. AGUA has decided to use this letter <br />in their presentation because it best describes the 60 page feasibility Study in just about four pages. 1 <br />strongly suggest that you attend our Annual Meeting so you can see for yourself what is taking place and <br />let your vote be counted (votes are counted by one vote per well). Or. you are more than welcome to call <br />or come in my office, ask questions andlor read the Feasibility Study concerning the purchase. If you <br />cannot make the meeting. you may vote by sending in the proxy a.ttached or send it with someone to the <br />meeting and they could vote for you. All proJies are due at or before the meeting. Also, at the <br />meeting, we will be voting on the Board of Directors, if you or someone you know would be interested in <br />serving on the board, call so we can put you on the ballot. <br /> <br />The Annual Meeting is scheduled on November 8, 1997 at 2:00 p.m. at the Vineland Middle School in <br />Vineland at 1132 Lane 36. That morning we will be having tours of the proposed water right at 10:00 <br />AM and at 12:00 Noon. Please call my office so we can schedule which time that would best suit you and <br />directions to the start of the tour. <br /> <br />Please call if you can attend, if you need directions, or if you have any questions or concerns at 719-462- <br />5140. Your attendance at this meeting is imponant and your voice is needed and expected to help make <br />vital decisions for now and in the future. <br />
