Agenda Item 14 - Funding for SCS Snow Survey <br /> Chairman Johnston discussed this item by calling attention <br /> to the fact that the President ' s FY 1986 budget request <br /> proposes that the snow survey program administered by the U. S. <br /> Soil Conservation Service be terminated after the next fiscal <br /> year . He emphasized that the water supply and runoff forecasts <br /> derived from the snow course measurements are of vital <br /> importance to Colorado ' s water users . He suggested that the <br /> Board take action supporting the continuation of the federal <br /> program by approving a resolution which had been prepared by <br /> Mr . McDonald. <br /> Mr . Lochhead moved, seconded by Mr . Vandemoer, that the <br /> Board approve the proposed resolution as written. Motion <br /> adopted unanimously. (A copy of the proposed resolution is <br /> included as Appendix G) . <br /> Agenda Item 15 - Closed Basin Project, Stage 5 Wells <br /> (Appendix H) <br /> Board Member Raymond Wright addressed this item by stating <br /> that the Bureau of Reclamation, the agency constructing the <br /> Closed Basin Project, wishes to commence construction of <br /> salvage wells in Stage 5 of the project in November 1985 . <br /> Pursuant to the project authorizing act, construction may be <br /> • undertaken in stages only if construction of each successive <br /> stage after stagel is consented to by the Colorado Water <br /> Conservation Board and the Rio Grande Water Conservation <br /> District. To insure that there is sufficient lead time to <br /> acquire rights-of-way for the stage 5 salvage wells, the Bureau <br /> needs the Board ' s and the District ' s consent to proceed at this <br /> time . A draft resolution granting this consent was attached to <br /> Mr . McDonald ' s April 22, 1985 , memorandum to the Board relevant <br /> to this item. <br /> Mr . Wright moved, seconded by Mr . Vandemoer, that the Board <br /> adopt the resolution and instruct Mr . McDonald to forward <br /> certified copies of the resolution to the District and to <br /> appropriate officials of the Bureau of Reclamation. Motion <br /> approved unanimously. <br /> Agenda Item 16 - Floodplain Resolutions (Appendix I) <br /> Mr .
