IIItUCI ,JOSS <br /> <br />January 24, 1984 <br /> <br /> <br />Colorado Water Conservation Board <br />Department of Natural Resources <br />823 State Centennial Building <br />1313 Sherman Street <br />Denver. Colorado 80203 <br /> <br />Re: Contract with the Colorado Water <br />Conservation Board for imorovement of <br />Louisville raw water storage <br /> <br />Dear Mr. loannides: <br /> <br />The purpose of this letter is to provide an op1.nwn relative to the <br />above captioned matter. Please be advised that the Mayor is authorized to <br />execute contracts on behalf of the City of Louisville with the Mayor's signature <br />to be attested by the City Clerk. The Mayor does have authority to bind the City <br />with respect to any contract which has been approved by the City Council. The <br />contract with respect to the above captioned matter was specifically approved by <br />the Louisville City Council, with a COpy of the minutes of the Council meeting <br />attached to this letter. Norbert A. Meier is the duly elected Mayor of the <br />City and has authority to execute contract documents. <br /> <br />Under the Colorado Revised Statutes and the Colorado Constitution, <br />Louisville City Council has authority to enter into the above captioned coutract. <br />This contract may be approved without a vote of the citizens because it involves <br />construction and improvments of water supplies which are exempt from a vote by <br />the citizens. No provisions of the Municipal Code of the City of Louisville or <br />IDlY provisions of which I am aware in the State Statutes prevent the above captioned <br />contract from being binding upon the City. Therefore, it is my opinion, said <br />contract would be valid and binding against the City of Lousiville. <br /> <br />If you have any questions cOncerning this matter or desire further <br />information, please do not hesitate to contact me. <br /> <br />~ <br /> <br /> <br />Yours very <br /> <br />Curt Rautenstraus <br />City Attorney <br /> <br />CDRlsw <br />
