CONSIDERATION OF PURCHASE OF THE GREAT WESTERN SUGAR COMPANIES' WATER RIGHTS. Mr. Rybus explained he received a ZAP letter earlier that morning in regard to the offer made to purchase the surplus Great Western Sugar Company water. Mr. Rybus said they had to notify us because Greeley made an offer on a certain quantity of water, and their Dallas office has sold off a portion of that water. so there is a reduced amount of water available. He further explained Great Western is usi~g that sale as a basis to set an equitable price. Mr. Rybus said Great Western thinks now the value of the C.B.T. water is $750 per unit. for a total price of $1.566.000 for the remaining units. The value established for the Greeley-Loveland water offered would be $1.2 million. for a total value of $2,766,000. Mr. Rybus Said he did not want to mention pub- licly the number Greeley offered for the water as it was a private bid. He said. however. our total offer was less. as the Board had authorized him to go to a limit of $2.5 million on the total package. Mr. Rybus further explained that Great Western has gone to other water purveyors and offered it to them at the same price stated in the letter. yet Great Wes- tern's attorney did not want to give Greeley a formal rejection on its offer. He then asked the Board to give staff direction on what it now wanted to do with the offer.
