<br />3S94 <br /> <br />MR. GEISSINGER: <br /> <br />MR. STAPLETON: <br /> <br />MR. GEISSINGER: <br /> <br />especially when we need water at Craig. <br />lve've got 70 families with no water except <br />shallow wells and the Health Department is <br />after them to got rid of those. An engineer is <br />in there now trying to get water. This Great I' <br />Northern Project will eliminate that trouble <br />and it will take care of flood control because <br />Fortification Creek will have a dam on it and <br />that's where the flood damage is to the City <br />of Craig is - it's from Fortification Creek. <br />I think it should be considered for the ~~l <br />spot." <br /> <br />"Mr. Chairman." <br /> <br />"lolr.

That was what the <br />Board decided according to these minutes. <br /> <br />Now I certainly agree with the Director <br />that we have to be flexible in all of these <br />projects and agree with him very definitely <br />that at the time 485 was originally passed, <br />and you were a member of the Senate at that <br />time, Governor, we wanted to clearly protect <br />Colorado on all these projects and that's why <br />that list was made. If I'm wrong in that, I <br /> <br />1 <br />
