Agenda Item 10 - Recommendations for Project Authorizations •
Mr. McDonald introduced this item indicating that initially
four projects were included in the list to be presented for Board
action. However, during the annual Fort Lyon Canal Shareholder 's
Meeting in December 1983, agreement was not reached as to funding
sources, i.e. , Board Construction funds or an increase in annual
water assessments, to perform the rehabilitation work as needed.
As a consequence, the shareholder 's decided to withdraw their ap-
plication for Board funds and would reconsider the funding ques-
tion at the December 1984 Shareholder 's Meeting. Mr. McDonald
called the members ' attention to the brief summaries of each of
the proposed projects and a draft bill which he had provided to
Representative Younglund for pre-filing with the request that he
again sponsor the annual project authorization legislation (Ap-
pendix E attached) .
Following his discussion, Mr. McDonald recommended that the
Board recommend to the General Assembly that the three projects
be authorized for construction with monies from the construction
fund, subject to the terms and conditions identified in each
project summary and in the following listed order of priority:
1. Summit Reservoir
2. Monument Reservoir
3. Fruitgrowers Reservoir •
At Mr. McDonald 's request, staff member Nick Ioannides
briefly summarized each project, describing the work proposed,
the funding arrangements and repayment of board funds .
Mr. Ioannides asked sponsors of the projects in attendance
to testify on behalf of the proposed projects . The following
listed individuals presented statements on the projects:
Summit Reservoir - Mr. Steve Harris, President, Harris Engi-
neering Company, representing the consulting firm which had
prepared the feasibility report.
