<br />693 <br /> <br />There followed a discussion as to the availability <br />of money for this purpose. <br /> <br />MR. PETERSON: <br /> <br />"How would this effect the priority <br />list of projects?" <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />MR. JERMAN: <br /> <br />"The report is scheduled for 1962 and <br />might be expedited by the use of this <br />money." <br /> <br />MR. KELLY: <br /> <br />"The Dolores Project is scheduled <br />a little ahead of the Animas-La Plata <br />in the plan." <br /> <br />"At the present time, the Dolores is <br />scheduled for about 1959 and the Animas- <br />La Plata is now scheduled in 1962. If <br />this money were available it would bring <br />this up to 1960 or '61." <br /> <br />MR. JERMAN: <br /> <br />Discussion was held as. to methods of use and hand- <br />ling of the appropriated donated moneys. It was decided that <br />it might be better if the Southwestern Conservancy District <br />made a separate cooperative agreement with the Bureau for the <br />use of its' contribution and that the Board do likewise with <br />its' portion. <br /> <br />Several amendments were offered to the motion made <br />by Mr. Kelly and it was decided that the motion be reworded <br />by Mr. Barnard. <br /> <br />MR. BARNARD: <br /> <br />"I move that this Board authorize the <br />expenditure of a sum not to exceed $20,000 <br />for the purpose of expediting studies on <br />the Animas-La Plata Project, if the Direc- <br />tor determines that the use of the funds <br />will materially expedite the studies with- <br />out interfering with the established pro- <br />ject priorities. <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />In the event such findings are made, <br />the Director is hereby authorized to coop- <br />erate and contract with the U. S. Bureau <br />of Reclamation or the Southwestern Conser- <br />vancy District or both, in the utilization <br />of the funds." <br /> <br />Motion was seconded and on vote was unanimously car- <br /> <br />ried. <br />
