<br />I <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />1009 <br /> <br />The whole thing is a complex situation <br />and as Ed pointed out, takes time. We would <br />be delighted to have you sit in on this from <br />the beginning. <br /> <br />Again I wish to reiterate what Harold <br />has already told you. The last thing we have <br />any desire to do in this state, and I will not <br />do so as individual or public servant, is <br />to go contrary to the statutes. I wouldn't. <br />I owned water rights in this state. I was even <br />thrown in the jug because I stole water and I <br />have a little conception of what it means. <br /> <br />I am sorry we have taken so much of your <br />time, but it has been a great pleasure to be <br />here. There is one thing in addition to what <br />Harold pointed out that I should like to say. <br />In these flood prevention projects, the design <br />is made in concurrence with Mr. Whitten's <br />office so that there will be no storage in <br />those structures, and the size of outlet will <br />be in accordance with the agreement that we <br />have arrived at with the State Engineer's office. <br />That varies from structure to structure, based <br />on the dimensions of the canal below the <br />structure and the particular flood intensity for <br />which the structure was designed. If there are <br />water rights, and the adjudication is all in order, <br />that is a different thing. <br /> <br />Thank you, gentlemen, we appreciate being <br />here with you today." <br /> <br />MR. SPARKS: <br /> <br />"To terminate the discussion on this <br />particular phase, I will state to the Board <br />that this matter came to my attention some two <br />months ago. There was a federal agency that <br />had money to spend and wanted to spend it. <br />I was particularly interested. We could get <br />approval, local approval up to $250,000. In <br />talking to Gil, I found out the Water Board <br />has provided some services on an expediency basis, <br />and the engineering staff of our Board and myself <br />will present a plan to this Board in the near <br />future as to how we can expedite a program which <br />I personally consider to be extremely vital to <br />this State." <br /> <br />MR. MOSES: <br /> <br />"Thank you Larry. Is there anything else <br />on item 2 of the agenda? <br />
