- .. Water-Sewer Board Meeting August 2, 1990 Page 2 6. STATUS REPORT ON COMANCHE RESERVOIR PROJECT Water Operations Manager John Gauthiere said the contractor, AS1 RCC, Inc., was given a Notice to Proceed on June 15th. Items of work on this project include a new roller compacted concrete spillway, a new embankment, access roads, and various other components which are necessary to stabi tize the dam and alleviate seepage problems. Mr. Gauthiere made a slide presentation detailing the construction activities. It was noted that efforts to preserve the water quality downstream of the construction have been successful. Mr. Bohlender complimented Mark Rybus and the staff for their efforts in convincing the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to withdraw their objections to the "no impact" declaration made by the Corps of Engineers. The Corps of Engineers then issued the 404 Permit, which was needed before the contractor could begin work on the project. 7. CONSIDERATION OF AN OFFER TO PURCHASE ONE CONTRACT RIGHT OF LAKE LOVELAND This offer consisted of one contract right of Lake Loveland water, which has a face value of 40 acre feet, at a price of $36,000. Mr. Rybus noted that Lake Loveland water has the best delivery rate of the Greeley-Loveland system waters. He said that funds are available, and the staff reconmends that this water be purchased. A motion was made by Julianne Haefeli and seconded by Jack Cochran to approve the purchase of one contract right of Lake Loveland Irrigation Company from the East Greeley Land Company. The motion was carried unanimously. 8. CONSIDERATION OF A PROPOSAL TO TRADE GREELEY-LOVELAND SYSTEM WATER FOR CBT UNITS This offer from Mr. Martin Bird proposed an exchange of Greeley-Loveland system waters and $20,000 cash for 290 units of the City's C~T water. Mr. Rybus presented historical yield information for each type of water. He noted that C~T water is very beneficial to the City because it can be used at both of the treatment plants, and surplus amounts can be rented to other water districts and farmers. Mr. Lawrence added that CBT water has better yields in dry years than other types of water. A motion was made by Richard Boettcher and seconded by Kim Lawrence to decline this offer. The motion was carried unanimously. 9. CONSIDERATION OF AN OFFER TO EXCHANGE 108 ACRE FEET OF GREELEY-LOVELAND SYSTEM WATER AND CASH FOR ONE UNIT OF THE WINDY GAP PROJECT Mark Rybus explained that this was an offer to exchange one unit of the City's Windy Gap water (100 acre feet) for 108 acre feet of Greeley-Loveland system
