Re: Raw Water Master Plan Contract between the City of
Louisville and the state of Colorado, Colorado Water
Conservation Board

Dear Mr. Phare:

You have requested our opinion on certain matters in relation to
the Raw Water Master Plan Contract (Contract) between the City of
Louisville and the state of Colorado, Colorado Water Conservation
Board, in the amount of $48,285. We reviewed a copy of the
Contract which you provided to us on September 27, 1991 and which
was attached to a letter to you dated September 23, 1991 from Frank
M. Akers, P.E., Chief, Project Planning and Construction section of
the Colorado Water Conservation Board. Based on our review of the
Contract and our knowledge of the actions of the city, and of the
laws applicable to it, it is our opinion that, under the facts as
we understand them to exist:

1. The signature of the person signing the Contract for the
city of Louisville, Colorado, is that of Herman Fauson,
the duly elected Mayor of the city of Louisville.

2. Herman Fauson, Mayor of the City of Louisville, has been
authorized by the City council of the City of Louisville
to sign the Contract on behalf of the City and the
Louisville City Council has approved the Contract.

3. The city Council of the City of Louisville has the
authority to enter into the contract without a vote of
its registered electors.

4. To the best of our knowledge, there are no provisions in
the City's ordinance or in other State or city law that
prevents this Contract 'from binding the city.
