<br />Evidently not then. . Let's call for a vote. <br /> <br />MR. JACKSON: Mr. Chairman, if I may, could I speak on behalf of <br />Montrose? <br /> <br />MR. .STAPLETON: : Yes, if you will again identify yourself. <br />MR; AUSTIN: This is Harley Jackson from Delta. <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />. - <br />MR. SPARKS: Mr. Jackson is a member of the'City Council of Delta. <br /> <br />MR. JACKSON: And also Tri-County Board, which,you see on your summary <br />sheet. <br /> <br />I'm going to ~ry to wear two hats. The first one will be the Tri-County <br />hat. Presently the usage along Tri-County lines ~is beginning to almost <br />equal the amount, of water that the city of Montrose is using in the city <br />limits. This is far beyond the original projections that were ou~lined. <br />And so consequently, I think for the immediate future anyhow, Tri-County <br />.is interested in,more availaple water.: For example, last.month,at the <br />Board meeting, I believe there-were well over a hundred applications <br />for water taps for a new subdivision on Tri-County lines. -It creates <br />quite a problem since the city of:Montrose.treats all of the Tri-County's <br />water. ' : <br /> <br />The Tri-County lines also extend all' the way to Delta, and they: are. , <br />connected. We, ,in these:lastffew days, have had conversations with the <br />city of Montrose - and I'm speaking about the city of Delta right now - <br />about the critical water problem we are having there today, the:possi- <br />bility of having the city of Montrose treated water transferred through <br />Tri-County lines to the city'of Delta. And~for them to better serve the <br />Uncompagbre Valley with this type of arrangement, they're going to. need <br />some help. <br /> <br />So I just wanted to speak on behalf of Mo~trose, which doesnit happen <br />too often. (Laughter.) <br /> <br />MR. STAPLETON: The beginning of a beautiful friendship. ' <br /> <br />. <br />MR. LEINSDORF: Mr. Chairman, I move approval,of the Montrose project., <br />MR. JACKSON: Second. <br /> <br />MR. STAPLETON: It's been regularly moved and seconded. Any further <br />discussion? <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />(No, ,response.) <br />All those in favor, signify by saying "Aye'." <br />(Unanimous :"Ayes.") <br /> <br />MR. STAPLETON: Opposed? <br />(No response.) <br /> <br />-52- <br />
