Rybus has been meeting with Greeley-Loveland officials to try to coordinate this work with some planned construction by the State Parks System and State Highway Department which would require that they take the level of Boyd Lake down. He said the City would encourage them to pump irrigation water from Boyd lake to lower the level as much as possible, because this would aid in lowering construction costs. The staff hopes that this work can be done in the Fal I of 1986, because Lake Loveland is currently the sole source of supply to the Boyd Lake Plants and the City water system cannot operate without these plants in the summer months should a chemIcal spil I or other occurrence make Lake Loveland water unusable. It was noted that financing details need to be worked out for this project because it may be unadvisable for the City to attempt to issue bonds again Tn 1986 after refinancing bond issues in 1985. Motion was made by DavId Clarkson and seconded by Richard Boettcher to authorize the staff to continue to proceed with the design of the Boyd Lake Water Treatment Plant Improvements. Motion was carried unanimously. Mr. Boettcher reiterated previously expressed reservations about expanding a treatment plant in the city of Loveland, with the city growing around it, but agreed that this is the most feasible alternative for Increasing the water supply to Greeley at this time. ******* Mr. Morrell said that the Water and Sewer Department staff will soon begin its 1986 rate study, and will be bringing this information to the Board.
