When the City first applied <br /> for the grant we were working on a storage reservoir project and the matching portion of <br /> the grant was going to be paid from our Water Fund. When the project was not feasible <br /> and the focus was on flood mitigation the City's General Fund was going to take over and <br /> finance the matching funds. At this time the General Fund is not in a position to pay for <br /> our portion of the project. <br /> We appreciate all of the work and support that we have received from the Colorado <br /> Water Conservation Board and hope to have the opportunity to work with you in future <br /> years and projects. <br /> If you have any questions please contact Sunny Barnes at 719-784-4848 ext. 223. <br /> Sincereiy, <br /> "� <br /> Mart Hall <br /> Mayor <br />
