• Board Meeting Date: 1/9/1963
• Description: Minutes
• Board Meetings - Doc Type: Meeting

Governor Love. As you know, by statute,
Governor Love is the Chairman of this Board
and is in charge of each of these meetings.
I have been informed by his Administrative
Assistant that, at least at this meeting, we
are to carryon as we have been in past meet-
ings. It is doubtful whether Governor Love,
this being his second day in office, will be
here. The staff and the Board are anxious
to work closely with Governor Love and I am
sure at subsequent meetings he will be present.

Now we'll go into Agenda Item #5 which
is the Resolution proposed by the Southwestern
Water Conservation District at the November
l4th meeting of the Board. Will you review
that resolution, Kuip?"

MR. KUIPER:

"First, let me say there are extra copies
of the reports and agenda items up here on
the stage for anybody that wants them; and,
secondly, to apologize to the Board for not
furnishing them a report, as we have been
doing, prior to the meeting. Some other very
urgent things came up at the time I had put
aside to write the report and it was not
possible to get it in the mail in time.

On this particular agenda item I should
like to read parts of the report to the Boar~.
First, that the remarks that we made at our
last meeting certainly should be reiterated.
And secondly, to go to this point - a recon-
naissance report on the O'Neal Project which
was reported in 1956 as set forth in the Reso-
lution did not find this project feasible.
The benefit-cost ratio as reported was .9l to
l.O. Now further studies by our contract
staff in the San Juan Basin, Mr. Jex, has
indicated the possibility of a feasible proj-
ect in this area by amending and changing
some of the features of the 1956 report and
perhaps a reconnaissance report along these
lines might be in order for the Bureau of Recla-
mation at this time, to find a feasible project
in that area.
