CONSIOERATION OF OPTIONS FOR REHABILITATIUN OF BARNES MEADOW RESERVOIR OAM Mark Rybus noted that, at the November Water-Sewer Board meeting, a representative of Morrison-Knudsen Engineers presented a condition status report on Barnes Meadow Reservoir Dam, along with a series of alternatives for repair of some undesirable conditions that were found during the detailed examination of the structure. Overall, the structure is in acceptable condition, but some rehabilitation work is needed in order to bring it up to first-class condition. Mr. Rybus said the staff had reviewed all pOSSible methods of repairs to Barnes Meadow Dam, and was prepared to make a detailed recommendation to the Board. John Gauthiere gave a detailed report on the condition of the dam, and reviewed the alternatives proposed by Morrison-Knudsen Engineers. The costs of these alternatives ranged from $185,000 to $1,035,000. The staff's recommended alternative included work on the embankment dam, outlet works, and the service and auxiliary spillways, for a total construction cost of $26B.255. The unit cost per acre foot would be $114.20. Mr. Ruyle stated that he would like to have this matter tabled until the repair cost of all the City's dams is analyzed and the staff can determine the estimated cost per acre foot. He said that, when it is determined what the overall situation is, a work session should be held with the City Council to discuss the matter further. Mr. Rybus said there are time limitations involved in completing the Barnes Meadow study, because the Colorado Water Conservation Board is participating in 50% of its cost and the City cannot collect the matching funds until it is completed and presented to them.
