MR. KROEGER:

BOARD MEMBER:

are three principal things that the United
States desires in the contract. One is that the
channel below the proposed Bear Creek dam will
be kept free of obstruction. This poses no real
problem since the Corps has prepared a revised I
flood hazard area along Bear Creek which is quite
small. This was prepared on the basis that the
dam would be in operation. We expect no dif-
ficulty in getting that area zoned through the
cities and the county concerned. which is
Jefferson County.

The second area is that the state will hold
the United States harmless in matters involving
water rights. Actually. water administration is
under the jurisdiction of the State of Colorado,
and more specifically under the State Engineer's
office. So that is normal routine for us and
the state is not incurring any liability there.

The third one is that the state will comply
with the Relocation Act. That is a fairly recent
act of Congress which states that in the event
that people have to be moved, that assistance
must be provided to them in finding new homes
and moving expenses, et cetra, have to be paid.
In this case, there are no homes involved as far
as the channel is concerned, and the state is
not acquiring any land in connection with the
Bear Creek project. There is nothing for us to
do in connection with relocation in the channel.
There is some relocation which will occur in the
reservoir area, but that is a federal respon-
sibility and this contract pertains to the
channel below the reservoir."

"Are there any questions, board? Questions
from anybody in the audience?"

I

"Mr. Chairman, I move adoption of the res-
olution."

"Do we have a second?"

"I'll second."
