William McDonald, Director ' / , <br /> SUBJECT: Revised Agenda Item 4 -- Ruedi Reservoir <br /> Discussion <br /> As you know, I recommended a few weeks ago that the state, acting <br /> • through the Board, assume the repayment of the $9 .2 million which is <br /> allocable to the regulatory capacity of Ruedi Reservoir (see attached <br /> memo) . The proposal was subsequently reviewed by the House Agriculture , <br /> Livestock, and Natural Resources Committee, which did not report it out. <br /> The main concern of several of the committee members seemed to be <br /> that they simply wanted more time to consider and review in detail a <br /> proposal involving such a large sum of money. In addition, of course, <br /> various issues were raised during the course of the committee 's delib- <br /> erations . While I was able to provide answers to most such questions , <br /> it was clear that the committee desired additional information on a <br /> couple of items . <br /> Although the committee chose not to report out the proposal as an <br /> amendment to S .B. 67, various committee members indicated it would be <br /> appropriate for the Board to pursue the matter with the federal govern- <br /> ment. A proposal could then be brought before the interim joint ag <br /> and water committee this fall as discussions progressed. If the Board <br /> ultimately consummated a satisfactory arrangement with the federal <br /> government, then the Board would recommend to the 1981 General Assembly <br /> that it be authorized to assume the repayment obligation in the amount <br /> 40 of about $10 million using monies from the construction fund. <br />
