The motion was carried unanimously. 7. CONSIOERATION OF A REQUEST FROM THE EAST GREELEY LAND COMPANY TO EXCHANGE TRACTS OF LAND OF APPROXIMATE EQUAL SIZE LOCATED IN THE VICINITY OF THE MOSIER HILL RESERVOIR This was a separate request involving the same property discussed in Item 6. Mr. Scott, representing the East Greeley Land Company, was requesting that the City and the Company exchange two triangular parcels of equal size in an effort to square off the property and make the property lines more orderly. There are City of Greeley water lines running through the property to be exchanged, and Mr. Rybus said he has informed Mr. Scott that the East Greeley Land Company will have to allow for easements for these lines. Mr. Rybus recorTlllended that, if Mr. Scott's request were approved, it should be stipulated that he is to be responsible for all costs involving the survey and legal description. A motion was made by David Clarkson and seconded by Elmer Rothe to approve the land exchange with the stipulation that the East Greeley Land Company bear all survey expenses. The motion was carried unanimously. Water Aoard Attorney Bill Bohlender stated that all easements should be shown on the survey. 8. RAW WATER SUPPLY PROJECTION FOR 1987 Eric Wilkinson gave a detailed water supply and demand SUrTlllary. The City's 1987 water surplus is estimated to be approximately 10,975 acre feet. Mr. Rybus said the staff will contact parties who have rented water in the past in an effort to market this water. 9. CONSIDERATION OF AUTHORIZING THE STAFF TO ENTER INTO AN AGREEMENT WITH MORRISON-KNUOSEN ENGINEERS, INC. TO CONDUCT ENGINEERING FEASI8ILITY STUDY OF REHA8ILITATION OF 8ARNES MEAOOW OAM Mr. Rybus said this project is included in the Budget and Capital Improvements Program. The staff is requesting that Morrison-Knudsen Engineers perform the study because they recently performed studies on three other City of Greeley reservoirs, and the Colorado Water Conservation Board has endorsed them. The cost of this study will be $45,000, and the staff is pursuing a 50% grant from the CWC8. Eric Wilkinson then detailed the work to be performed at 8arnes Meadow Reservo; r. A motion was made by David Clarkson and seconded by Elmer Rothe to authorize the staff to enter into the agreement with Morrison-Knudsen Engineers and the Colorado Water Conservation Board for the engineering feasibility study at Barnes Meadow Dam. The motion was carried unanimously. 10. CONSIDERATION OF RE-RENT AGREEMENT WITH R.K.W. PARTNERSHIP AND OFFER FOR PURCHASE OF 1.77 ACRE FEET OF SEVEN LAKES WATER This request involved water transferred to the City to satisfy the raw water requirement for Gallery Green. The developers were requesting to enter into a standard re-rent agreement for that portion of the water which is not presently necessary to supply the developed area. The developers were also requesting that the City purchase 1.77 acre feet of Seven lakes water which was an excess amount from the raw water transfer. The 1.77 acre feet of water was offered at a price of $750 per acre foot, for a total of $1,327.50. Mr. Rybus recommended approval of the re-rent agreement and requested that he be authorized to make a counter offer on the water purchase. Based on recent water sales, Mr. Rybus felt that a counter offer of $1,000 for the 1.77 acre feet of Seven Lakes water would be an equitable price.
