18i. Water Project Construction Loan Program Annual Construction Fund
Appropriation Bill- Proposed Non-Reimbursable Projects - South Platte River Urban
Corridor Project.
Tape 4, Start/Stop: 3300 - 4776
Action: A motion was made by David Harrison to approve conceptually the idea of
trying to move forward on reprogramming the $600,000 in Chatfield funds to allow the CWCB to
participate in the Globeville restoration, while recognizing that this brings the Board into
confrontation with policy questions regarding flood control, and that the Board indicate with the
resolution its desire to go forward but to explore these policy issues before actually putting the
request in the bill. The motion was seconded by Patricia Wells and approved unanimously (9-0). A
motion was made by David Harrison that staff develop a proposal for a feasibility study to be taken
to the legislature and included in the January meeting agenda, if it seems appropriate still, to look at
a state-wide flood control management program, (a possible mix of loan and/or grants program)
including river restoration and floodplain management, finding funding that would not be subject to
the 5% limitation. The motion was seconded by Janice Sheftel, who added that the staff should
investigate if there are other funding opportunities aside from the CWCB. The motion was approved
unanimously (9-0).
