Agenda Item 3 - Approval of Minutes

formal motion was made.
Agenda Item 4 - Director ' s Report
Mr . McDonald reported on the following items:
1. Federal appropriations for construction funds for
Animas-La Plata and Narrows Projects
Construction funds for both projects were initially
included in the continuing resolution for FY 1985, but the
Senate version deleted the Narrows Project and contained
funding only for the Animas-La Plata Project. However, in the
last few days of the Congressional session, in conference
committee hearings, the Animas-La Plata Project was also
deleted. Because of favorable consideration given to the
project in the past session of Congress, efforts should be made
to obtain funding for the Animas-La Plata Project either in a
supplemental appropriation bill for FY 1985 or in the
President ' s budget for FY 1986.
2 . Closed Basin Project
a. Amendatory legislation to authorize a new fish and
wildlife mitigation plan for the project was passed
by both Houses of Congress during the last week
before Congress adjourned.
b. The Lease Agreement and Contract between the United
States and the State for repayment of operation,
maintenance, and replacement of separable costs for
fish and wildlife and recreation enhancement
facilities was executed by the United States, the
Department of Natural Resources and the Division of
Wildlife. This document is now being processed
through the state system.
c . The Contract between the United States and the
Colorado Water Conservation Board providing for
assignment by the Board to the United States the
state-owned lands required for project facilities .
This contract is also being processed through the
