I recommend that the Board enter into a contract with the two
districts subject to the two changes noted above and direct the staff
to execute the contract and proceed with its processing.
Western Governors' Association Activities
At the July meeting, I advised the Board of the general discussion
which the Western Governors' Association had at its late May annual
meeting of the federal hydro power revenue issue. The Western Governors
held a second informal meeting in late July to discuss this matter
further. Out of that meeting came a decision that the Governors would
meet with representatives of the preference customers in a meeting
which is now scheduled for October 1.
I will brief the Board further at the meeting on the outcome of
the Governors ' July meeting and our expectations for the October
meeting with the preference customers .
Other Activities
In an effort to further explore our proposal with the preference
customers , meetings have been held with a number of entities and
associations since the last Board meeting. I will briefly summarize
these below and report on them more completely at the Board meeting.
First, Governor Lamm met with representatives of the American
Public Power Association (APPA) , the National Rural Electric Cooperative
Association (NRECA) , and the Colorado River Energy Distributors Asso-
ciation (CREDA) immediately prior to the late July meeting of the
Western Governors ' Association. At that meeting, the preference
customers expressed a number of concerns about our proposal and asked
that they be more thoroughly advised of how we expected to proceed.
As a consequence, Governor Lamm asked that I meet with APPA and NRECA,
which I did while in Washington, D. C. the last week in July.
Second, David Getches and I, at Governor Lamm's request, had a
lengthy meeting with members of the Colorado Association of Municipal
Utilities (CAMU) . The association is made up of those municipalities
in Colorado which receive hydro power either from the CRSP system or
the Missouri Basin system. The resources from both systems are
marketed by the Western Area Power Administration.
The CAMU representatives asked a wide ranging number of questions
