The <br />historical consumptive use associated with these shares will be used as a part of <br />LA WMA's program to offset members' well pumping depletions in the Lower Arkansas <br />Basin. <br /> <br />Background <br /> <br />In May of 1997, the Board approved a loan to LA WMA for the purchase of shares in the <br />Highland Irrigation Company and in the Fort Bent Ditch Company at a total estimated <br />cost of $3,301,371 (May 12-13, 1997 Meeting, Agenda Item 8.a.). Loan funds originated <br />from the release of moneys in the escrow account established from the sale of X - Y Ranch <br />Lands (about $1.0 milliDn) and from a new loan from the Arkansas River Augmentation <br />Loan Account of up to $2.3 million. The loan is for 40 years with an effective rate of <br />return of 3.0 percent. <br /> <br />To date, LA WMA has acquired 3,382 shares of the Highland Irrigation Company and is <br />continuing to pursue the purchase of the remaining 187 shares contemplated in the May <br />1997 loan approval by the Board. No Fort Bent shares have been purchased by LA WMA. <br /> <br />Current Request <br /> <br />LA WMA now has the opportunity to purchase 270 shares in the Amity Mutual Irrigation <br />Company. Attached is a letter from Amelia Whiting of Moses, Wittemeyer, Harrison and <br />Woodruff, attorneys for LA WMA, outlining the request. <br />
