Mr. Ioannides then presented to the Board the matter of the Limon
Project, which was originally authorized by the Legislature in 1978 ,
with State participation set at $831,000 , Due to some cash flow
problems , the City is requesting that the originally approved repayment
period of 30 years be extended to 40 years and the service charge
reduced from 4 percent to 3 percent. He noted that the staff recom—
I/ mended approval of this request. Mr. John McQuay, Town Manager of
Limon, was then called upon by Mr. Stapleton to address himself to the
project briefly. After brief discussion, Mr. Smith moved, seconded by
Mr. Furneau, that the Board accept the staff's recommendation. After
further discussion about the propriety of reducing the service charge
from 4 percent to 3 percent, the question was called and the motion
passed on a unanimous voice vote.
The next agenda item to be brought before the Board was agenda
item 5 concerning floodplain designations . Mr. McDonald indicated that
all of the floodplain resolutions which were before the Board were of
a routine nature (copies of which resolutions are attached to this
minutes) . There being no discussion, Mr. Gormley moved, seconded by
Mr. Furneau, that the floodplain resolutions be passed. The motion
passed on a unanimous voice vote.
The Board then turned its attention to agenda item 6 concerning
minimum streamflow appropriations . Mr. Helton recommended that the
final recommendations for Park County be postponed until the next
meeting due to the fact that the staff had not, through inadvertence,
notified the City of Colorado Springs of these pending actions even
though they have a clear interest in the Middle Fork of the South
Platte River. With respect to the final recommendations for instream
flow appropriations in Routt County (copy attached) , Mr. Helton
reported that distribution of those proposals had been made and no
adverse communications had been received. Mr. Fetcher moved, seconded
by Mr. Getz, for approval of the final recommendations in Routt County
as presented by the staff. There being no further discussion, the
motion was passed on a unanimous voice vote.
Mr. Helton then proceeded to present the preliminary recommenda-
tions for instream flow appropriations for streams in Summit, Mineral,
and Archuleta Counties . He noted one correction to the Catarack
I/ Creek appropriation, which correction is reflected in the tabulation
of preliminary recommendations for the subject counties attached here-
to. He then recommended that these preliminaries be advanced to
final consideration at the next meeting. There being no further dis-
cussion, Mr. Getz so moved, seconded by Mr. Sherman, and the motion
passed on a unanimous voice vote.
Mr. McDonald then requested leave of the Board members to skip
