<br />Rod - no, storage will, but will be buying water rights. <br /> <br />Mike G - what about relationship to subdistrict? <br /> <br />Rod - been involved in confined well Subdistrict; looking at taking some acres out of <br />production; this would be a chance to do that, reducing consumptive use and hopefully <br />reduce cost to others for acreage reduction <br /> <br />Ray - any estimate as to how many acres under irrigation there. <br /> <br />Rod - 45,000 acres <br /> <br />Charlie - concerned that 2000 AF would it be adequate quantity and quality for this? - <br />am concerned about voting for this project when we have no others to compare it to and <br />that there will be "better" projects coming in the future; asking for $64,000; is that % of <br />whole cost? <br /> <br />Rod - on NRD Money, this will count as match for other costs; will get $64,000 for <br />something else <br /> <br />Ed - how far along are we on the subdistrict formation? <br /> <br />Rod - more questions than answers; confined is so complex. <br /> <br />Mel - definitely in favor of this project; sets a precedent; focus on water sustainability by <br />Roundtable; this water would eventually get into our aquifer; knows that every reservoir <br />in the whole basin needs work; this is a start; "we're going to help Terrace" improve <br />storage so can store full supply. <br /> <br />Leon - thinking of legal aspects; bidding process? Will they come in higher or lower? <br /> <br />Mike G - if needed, would go out to bid. Remember this engineer is doing similar work <br />for the Division of Water Resources. <br /> <br />Ray - doesn't recall that CWCB requires competitive bids similar to State Contracts for <br />projects such as this. <br /> <br />Travis - if Terrace is successful, there is no need for competitive bid process once <br />approved. Can hire the consultants/attorneys/engineers of their choice. <br /> <br />Doug S - agrees with Mel; anytime we can get numbers and information, it benefits us; <br />applauds group for their proactive approach; best way to approach any problem is <br />through the best information possible. <br /> <br />Glen - no one in this Valley has been hit as hard as Alamosa River; Summitville; <br />anything we can do to help is good. <br /> <br />Page 7 of 10 <br /> <br />RGBRT <br /> <br />Minutes <br /> <br />December 12, 2006 <br />
