<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />A NEW SECTION will change the session laws to change the name of a <br />mitigation account grant recipient. <br /> <br />Last year the General Assembly approved the CWCB recommendation that monies from the <br />Fish and Wildlife Resources Account within the CWCB construction fund be made available to the <br />recovery program to help implement improvements to the Grand Valley Canal. These improvements <br />are intended to reduce administrative spills by the canal and, as a result, increase stream flows <br />available for recovery of the endangered fish. These improvements are being planned and will be <br />implemented with full cooperation of the Grand Valley Water Users Association and without any <br />impairment of their beneficial uses. This section is only intended to give us more flexibility in the <br />delivery of those monies, and is supported by the Grand Valley Water Users Association, and <br />Recovery Program participants. <br /> <br />A NEW SECTION will change the statutes to allow the Board to expend funds <br />received in managing cooperative projects. <br /> <br />The Department of Natural Resources Controller's Office has determined that, while the <br />Board has statutory authority to receive funds for cooperative projects with local governments, the <br />CWCB technically does not have the statutory authority to expend such monies. This section <br />amends the statutes so that the Board has the same authority to manage cooperatively funded <br />projects as other DNR agencies. <br /> <br />SA VE9801.DOC <br /> <br />8 <br />
