This visit, as well <br /> <br /> <br />as the one required when stored water is called for, should be made by the Water <br /> <br /> <br />Commissioner. It is anticipated that the spring inspection trip will cost $200 <br /> <br /> <br />and the late summer maintenance trip will average $400, for a total of $600 per <br /> <br /> <br />year. <br /> <br />6.3 Fund Requirement Schedule: <br /> <br />Total funding requirements for the Project, as developed in the preceding <br /> <br /> <br />section, will be $75,000. These funds will be expended over a IS-week <br /> <br /> <br />construction period. The proposed date for commencement of construction is July <br /> <br /> <br />1, 1989. To realize a construction start by this date will require that funding <br /> <br /> <br />connnitments be in-place approximately by June 1. Actual disbursements will be <br /> <br /> <br />made as construction progresses, with 10% of earnings retained until the work is <br /> <br /> <br />complete -- approximately the 15th of October, 1989. <br /> <br />6.4. Sources of Funding: <br /> <br />The District has accumulated funds in a capital reserve account sufficient <br /> <br /> <br />to finance 50% of the estimated Project cost. The District is, with this <br /> <br /> <br />application, requesting funding from the Colorado Water Conservation Board <br /> <br /> <br />(CWCB) for the remaining 50%. Application has previously been made to the <br /> <br /> <br />Division of Wildlife for partial funding through the "Fishing is Fun" program. <br /> <br /> <br />Alsbury Reservoir was not selected for funding in 1988, but the District was <br /> <br /> <br />invited to re-submit its proposal in 1989. If funds from this source become <br /> <br /> <br />available, they would be applied to a more rapid payoff of borrowed money. <br /> <br />-21- <br />
