<br />I <br /> <br />Final selection of a recommended plan will be accomplished this fall, <br />so that design work can be done and the feasibility report can be done <br />and the feasibility report can be completed by March of 1978. Thank <br />you. <br /> <br />I'll now turn the time back to Mr'. Crandall, and he can answer the <br />questions. <br /> <br />MR. CRANDALL: That concludes our presentation. <br /> <br />MR. STAPLETON: You'll be available for some questions, will you, Dave? <br /> <br />MR. CRANDALL: Yes. <br /> <br />MR. SPARKS: Before we get started on the questions, could we get the <br />slide back showing the construction schedule for the Dallas Creek <br />project? I would like to have it shown during the period of discussion <br />on the Dallas .Creek project. <br /> <br />Ladies and gentleman, it's both with pleasure and sadness that I make <br />these presentations to two former members of this board. The members of <br />this board are appointed by the Governor, at least nine of the thirteen <br />members are appointed by the Governor, for terms Df three years. These <br />members are not compensated in any way for their services. Each of them, <br />for the period of service on this board, must travel many thousands of <br />miles and sacrifice countless hours on behalf of the people of this <br />state -- all without compensation. It takes dedicated individuals to <br />serve as a member of this important agency of the State of Colorado. As <br />times goes on, like everything else, the membership on our board changes. <br />This presentation is to honor two of the previous members of this board. <br /> <br />I would like to first call upon a gentleman who has traveled some <br />distance. He's now residing in Farmington, New Mexico, but his real <br />home is Hooper, Colorado, if any of you know where that is. It's one <br />of the major cities of the San Luis Valley, actually. I would like to <br />call on Quincy Cornelius to come up at this time. Quincy. <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />(Applause. ) <br /> <br />MR. SPARKS: Quincy, I have this picture here of the Pueblo Reservoir, <br />a recently completed unit of the Fryingpan-Arkansas project. While it <br />is a rather placid picture, it represents the culmination of one of the <br />bitterest struggles in Colorado. The Fry-Ark project for over twenty <br />years deeply divided the members of this board and led to ,a long internal <br />struggle within Co10radD. When the board members did finally come to <br />agreement, the Fryingpan-Arkansas project was authorized. That project, <br />unlike most of those over here, is now well along. <br /> <br />On behalf of the members of this board and the board staff, for your <br />unselfish and dedicated service to the people of this state, I'm proud <br />to present you this small token of our esteem and affection. <br /> <br />(Applause. ) <br /> <br />-13- <br />
