depth and got more variety of opinions concerning it than we normally
do for most of our floodplain information reports.

We're satisfied now that it is an accurate report. There have been
public meetings held on it in Larimer County. We believe that that
report and the others should be accepted by the Board so that we can
notify local authorities that they can proceed then with their planning.

As the Board knows, this Board has no authority to tell the counties
what. they should 40 with these flood information-reports. -Only the
vcounties.and cities can enact zoning ordinances. We have no control
over that. We ?ssist in a technical nature onl~ to establish the
parameters for flood control studie~. We provide part of the funds,
and we cooperate with the counties and the cities as the studies are
being done. We now think these four reports. are. ready for adoption by
the Board. .

MR. STAPLETON: All right. Unless I hear objection from the Board,
I'll entertain a motion that we approve all four of the floodplain
information r~ports. .

MR. SHERMAN: So move.

MR. ROBBINS: Second.

MR. STAPLETON: Regularly moved and seconded. Any discuss~on? (No
response. ) All those in favor signify by saying aye.: (Unanimous ayes.)
Opposed? (No response.) The reports are unanimously approved. (See
Appendice s C, D, E and F.)

I wanted to take this opportunity to compliment the staff of the Colo-
rado Water Conservation Board and all the people that worked with them
in developing the one hundred year flood. Recognizing there wa~ a
tremendous amount of pressure exerted from a lot of different sources
concerning the study, the integrity of the Colorado Water Conservation
Board staff in maintaining the objectivity and technical expertise in
developing the one hundred year flood was remarkable and I think should
be commended.

That's from a personal standpoint,-but as far as I'm concerned, the
Recovery Council would also go along with me in that regard.

MR. STAPLETON: Thank you very much for those' compliments. I'm sorry
I didn't recognize you sooner.

MR. SPARKS: I particularly appreciate those because some of the
comments we get about our activities are otherwise.

MR., STAPLETON: One of the other activities is the:priority system for
the Colorado Water Conservation Board Construction Fund. Some ~f.the
Board members had some questions about the.priority schedule ~ndthe
