SUBJECT:

Agenda Item 26a-b - November 15-16, 2005 Board Meeting
Water Supply Planning and Finance - De-Authorization Review

Introduction

In September 1999, the Board adopted Board Policy #1, Construction Fund and Severance Tax
Trust Fund Perpetual Base Account Project Time Limits, which policy provides the following
direction:

The Colorado Water Conservation Board (CWCB) shall review the status of all Construction
Fund and Severance Tax Trust Fund Perpetual Base Account loan projects that do not have a
fully executed CWCB funding contract within three years of the project's legislative
authorization. These projects may be recommended for inclusion in the list of Project Loan
De-Authorizations in the next annual Construction Fund Bill unless the Board specifically
approves a time extension.

The Policy further outlines the basis for staff recommendations:
1. If the Project Sponsors have not shown diligence toward execution of a funding contract
within three years of their authorizing legislation, the staff will recommend to the Board
that the project be included in the Project Loan De-Authorization recommendation to the
Legislature.

2. If the Project Sponsors have progressed towards execution of a project funding contract,
but the progress has been delayed due to extenuating circumstances, the staff may
recommend that the Board extend the project time limit for one year. The staff will
continue to review the project on an annual basis until a CWCB funding contract is fully
executed or the Board has recommended de-authorization to the Legislature.
