$500 ,000 and it is the staff's recommendation that the Board finance
100 percent of the cost overrun with a service charge of 5 percent.
After brief discussion, Mr. Getz moved, seconded by Mr. Gormley, that
the staff's recommendation be accepted. There being no further dis-
cussion, the motion passed on a voice vote, with Mr. Fetcher. abstaining.
Mr. McDonald then reviewed the Winter Park Project, which was
originally authorized in 1977 but which, due to the lack of funding,
had not been put under construction. Now that funding is available,
inflation has increased the cost estimate for the project by $300,000.
The staff recommends that the Board finance 50 percent of the increase
in the estimated cost with a 4 percent service charge for the entire
amount financed by the Board.
Mr. Stapleton then called upon Mr. Jack Buchheister, President of
the Winter Park Sanitation District, who commented briefly upon the
project. A discussion then ensued between Mr. Buchheister and members
of the Board concerning the agreement which Winter Park needed to
reach with the Denver Water Board concerning certain water rights which
will underlie the project. Mr. Buchheister indicated that agreement
had been reached with the staff of the Denver Water Board and that the
agreement would be presented to the Denver Water Board proper at one
of its meetings during December. Mr. Stapleton concluded by observing
that the agreement between Winter Park and the Denver Water Board con-
cerning the subject water rights would have to be completed and in
hand before the Board forwarded its recommendation concerning this
project to the Legislature in January of 1980 .
There being no further discussion, Mr. Getz moved, seconded by
Mr. Fetcher, that the staff's recommendation on this project be accepted.
The motion passed on a unanimous voice vote.
The next project taken up by the Board was the Beaver Park Project.
Mr. McDonald briefly reviewed the project for the Board. He noted that
the Department of Local Affairs , in the context of the Governor's
recently promulgated Human Settlement Policies, had raised questions
about whether or not the water which would be recaptured by improving
the efficiency of the irrigation system which is involved in this proj-
ect would permanently go to the benefit of irrigated agriculture as
I/ opposed to promoting additional subdivision in the area, which subdivi-
sions would be contrary to the Human Settlement Policies . Mr. McDonald
recommended to the Board that this was a matter which could be handled
pursuant to contractual arrangements between the Board and the local
sponsoring entity in consultation with the Department of Local Affairs .
Mr. McDonald concluded by noting that it was the staff's recommendation
that this project be approved in the amount of $315,000 (which is 50
percent of the total estimated project cost) with a service charge of
