The City is unable to send a representative to your March 22, 2006 meeting at <br />which the hearing on Chaffee County's RICD will be continued. However, the City wants to express <br />its support for the County' s Water Court claims, as limited by the settlement documents that the <br />County will present at your March 22 hearing. <br /> <br />Chaffee County has worked diligently to address the concerns of the City of Salida <br />and other water users in the Arkansas River basin. The result of that effort is a Memorandum of <br />Understanding (MOU), proposed decree and various settlement stipulations. The City believes that <br />the settlement reflected in those documents adequately addresses each of the five statutory criteria <br />set out in Senate Bill 216. Therefore, the City of Salida respectfully requests the Board to <br />recommend that the Water Court approve the settlement and enter a decree confirming the RICD <br />application of Chaffee County <br /> <br />Thank you for your consideration. <br /> <br />Yours truly, <br /> <br />J~1~~ <br /> <br />for <br />MOSES, WITTEMYER, HARRISON <br />AND WOODRUFF, P.C. <br /> <br />Attorneys for the City of Salida <br /> <br />JRM:rlo <br />
