(See Appendix A.) <br /> <br />approval of the agenda as provided with <br />The motion carried on a unanimous voice <br /> <br />Mr. MCDonald introduced the major purpose of the meeting <br />which was to review the Narrows and Animas-La Plata projects <br />according to the requirements that the Board must review a <br />feasibility study for a proposed project as an initial step <br />toward referring a project to the Colorado Water Resources and <br />Power Development Authority for its consideration. He reminded <br />the Board of its previous decision to seek state front-end <br />financing for the two projects in anticipation of federal <br />requirements for such cost-sharing. He reported that <br />discussions between the Governor and legislative leaders lead to <br />a consensus that financing through the authority should be <br />considered. Mr. Pascoe suggested that money already appropriated <br />to the authority could be used if the legislature and authority <br />subsequently agree, but that the Board must initiate the <br />process. (See Appendix B.) <br /> <br />The Narrows project was then described according to the <br />various reports on its feasibility. (See Appendix B.) <br /> <br />Mr. Robbins declared that because of his responsibility to <br />clients, he would abstain from participating in the project <br />consideration. <br /> <br />The availability of $500,000 for Bureau of Reclamation <br />planning from internal reprogramming during the current federal <br />fiscal year was mentioned. A number of project proponents <br />expressed their support for the project. <br />
