<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. . <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />The other issue whIch has arisen is that the authorizing <br />legislation is silent as to who shall hold title to the <br />completed project. It certainly has been the intent. however. <br />that title to the completed pipeline and the associated <br />easements would be in the Tribe. In order to make It perfectly <br />clear that this is the case. despite the fact that the Tribe is <br />not repaying any of the cost of the pipeline. I believe that <br />the authorizing legislation should be amended. <br /> <br />Recommendations <br /> <br />I recommend that the Board recommend to the General <br />Assembly that section 1(4). chapter 230. Session Laws of <br />Colorado 1986. be amended to: <br /> <br />(1) Empower the Board to acquire by eminent domain for <br />this project and only this project any real property <br />or interests therein necessary for the pipeline. and <br /> <br />(2) Make It clear that the Board Is authorized to convey <br />all right and title to the pipeline and the <br />associated easements to the Ute Motintain Ute Indian <br />Tribe upon the completion of the ~onstruction of the <br />project. all operation. maintenance. and replacement <br />costs to thereafter be the responsibility of the <br />Tribe. <br /> <br />JWM/gl <br />cc: Ernest House.
