the General Assembly for authorization and voiced his opposition

to the inclusion of Condition No.4 as stated on Table 1,

"prior to commencing construction on the project, the District

shall obtain from the owner(s) of any lands adjacent to the

reservoir pool (at the maximum water surface elevation) the right

to receive any appreciation in the value of the lands which is

attributable to the construction and existence of the reservoir

if and when those lands or any portion thereof are sold by the

owner(s). In turn the District shall contract with the Board to

convey to the Board any monies which it might receive as a result

of this requirement, said monies to be in addition to the

payments required by condition No.1, Table 1" (see Appendix G).

concerning the project, particularly with reference to lack of

mountain home sites, the District's ability to repay the Board's

cost, the relationships between the District and Colorado Ute,

and the latter's involvement in the project.

The discussion on the Stagecoach Project was concluded and

action thereon was deferred pending Board consideration of Agenda

Item 9. Thereupon Chairman Fetcher returned to chair the meeting

and called for discussion of added Agenda Item Ga, Federal
