Water Supply Planning and Finance - Loan De-authorization Review

Introduction

In September 1999, the Board adopted Board Policy #1, Construction Fund and Severance Tax
Trust Fund Perpetual Base Account Project Time Limits, which policy provides the following
direction:

The Colorado Water Conservation Board (CWCB) shall review the status of all Construction
Fund and Severance Tax Trust Fund Perpetual Base Account loan projects that do not have a
fully executed CWCB funding contract within three years of the project's legislative
authorization, These projects may be recommended for inclusion in the list of Project Loan
De-Authorizations in the next arumal Construction Fund Bill unless the Board specifically
approves a time extension,

The Policy further outlines the basis for staff recommendations:
1, If the Project Sponsors have not shown diligence toward execution of a funding contract
within three years of their authorizing legislation, the staff will recommend to the Board
that the project be included in the Project Loan De-Authorization recommendation to the
Legislature.
