BOARD ACTIONS ON NARROWS RESERVOIR <br />April 25, 1949 <br />Board recommended that full investigation be made, and <br />construction started only after approval by Board. <br />This position was re- affirmed at meeting of <br />December 16, 1949. <br />December 18, 195;p <br />Consulting engineer Tipton reported that studies by the <br />Bureau of Reclamation favored the Narrows site, in preference <br />to the Fort Morgan site, and that reservoir plans were being <br />materially changed to make a more acceptable project. <br />June 11 1951 <br />Director reported that because of the intense local interest <br />and plans for the Narrows dam, it appeared advisable for the Board <br />to arrange and sponsor a series of public hearings on this project. <br />He suggested that, if possible, such hearings be limited to three <br />and that they be held at Fort Morgan, Sterling and Greeley. <br />On motion, the Board authorized holding a series of meetings <br />and reports to the Board of their results and a resume of the <br />various views of local interests, in order that the Board could <br />consider the same in preparing comments on the project. <br />May 5, 1952 <br />Director Stone called attention to the compilation of the <br />records of hearings which had been held at Fort Morgan, Sterling <br />and Greeley. He also reported on a meeting sponsored by the Sterling <br />Chamber of Commerce and which was attended by him. This meeting <br />was attended by about two hundred people. <br />
