<br />Eric: No there isn't. End of year, lots of pressure on our contracting folks, as well as moving our offices. November <br />move, lots of contractual things there, moving fOlWard on water quality, we should be good to go. <br /> <br />Rick: Has Gene Sturm had a chance to look at the North Metro study? Betty is running to get him so he can get in on this. <br />Any other questions I can answer? <br /> <br />John Hendrick: Any status on the seismic work? <br /> <br />Eric - Friday we are having a meeting with the seismic issue. Putting together a scope of work that will help us feel better <br />about reallocation, SOW will answer questions we had... when I get that SOW, that will be done by end of month and I will <br />share it with you. <br /> <br />Tom: Thanks, Eric, we'll let you get on. <br /> <br />Eric: Betty and Gene will talk about your questions. Restate? <br /> <br />Rick McCloud: Hi, Gene, we got 30-40 people in the room. I asked a question relating to the South Metro Water Supply <br />Study that tries to analyze effect of non-tributary groundwater, this relates to memo you wrote where you said groundwater <br />needed to be covered in this EIS. Drawn any conclusions? <br /> <br />Gene: We put together some numbers, the Corp approach for the numbers we had in that study, came up with cost for water <br />about $88 million present value, causes some indigestion with reallocation. Recall, we added a compression cost indices <br />adjustment, $100 million, a little more expensive that. I thought Chatfield would be, I am trying to go back and identify <br />and see what goes into that, can't see where they increased pumping costs and things like that in the future. Want to look at <br />it and find a present value closer to $130 ore $140 million dollars. Having trouble going from water demand and number of <br />wells. I expect to have that done, but not yet. When we talked to Tom, I can certainly deal with groundwater, but I didn't <br />expect it to come out as less costly... problem is we don't really know what Chatfield cost will be. <br /> <br />Tom: Thanks, Gene. You and I and Betty and Eric will continue to coordinate and get info out to water users. Thanks, <br />Gene, appreciate that. <br /> <br />Tracy: We need to hire Steve Doherty. What I am hearing from the group is you need this pretty dam fast and Steve's the <br />guy, what do you need to make that happen? <br /> <br />Rick: He told me he's pretty busy but he opens out in October. Need to work out a SOW and work out a price. <br /> <br />John Hendrick: We need to get together and work this out. If there are others we want to bring along with them, it could <br />be 6 figures. <br /> <br />Jeff: I think this group should take the group's ability to provide their selVices. <br /> <br />Tracy: '07 is the question right now. You get a contract vehicle through Greenway, we have hired people in, one question, <br />if the ER work gets done this year, Miller Ecological Consulting waiting to hear if they should do it, $20K. Before you <br />answer this question, Tetra Tech and CaE asking for the report. There is no report because we aren't doing the work. If <br />you want the report it represents a check of the money that is out there. If we take the $20K for the ER and say we need to <br />do it, it leaves some money in the budget. If we need to get Steve, let's do it. But we need some estimation of what he is <br />going to need and how he is going to do it. Is he going to spend $12K in the last 3 months of the year? $20K? If its $12, <br />we can afford it. <br /> <br />Unknown speaker: There needs to be some kind of consensus that the group is OK to do this. We need to be prepared for <br />him to be chewing on this info. Its unclear, there is $20K ER, that's not my decision, I'm not contributing. It's your <br />budget, so go ahead and do it. How much non ER money is available? Should have the freedom to spend your ER money <br />when you want to? What's left over in the budget for this. The first 4a) item is, we see the invoices but we don't know the <br />work done. We are going to Washington, but I don't know what Tracy has on his mind, maybe this is relevant to go ahead <br />to see what is in the budget to reallocate for this. <br /> <br />Jeff: How the funding is broken down, I will get to you then. <br /> <br />John Hendrick: Then the group can see where to go, and then you can give us info. <br /> <br />7 <br />
