Walker <br />Director <br /> <br />Ms. Patti Akkola <br />State Controller's Office <br />DNR Field Controller <br />10010 16th Street, Suite 1100 <br />Denver, CO 80202 <br /> <br />Dear Ms. Akkola: <br /> <br />Larry Lang on my staff advised me that there is an accounting problem regarding the <br />Erie Flood Control Project which was authorized by Senate Bill No. 439 in 1981. After <br />helpful assistance by you, Larry has concluded that the money was taken off your ledger <br />through an accounting error. The subject project was authorized for construction by the <br />General Assembly in the amount of Three Hundred Thirteen Thousand Five Hundred <br />Thirty Dollars ($313,530) from the Colorado Water Conservation Board. Due to changes <br />in town administrations and local funding priorities, the project has been tabled on a <br />number of occasions. <br /> <br />In 1991, the Town Board of Trustees of Erie, Colorado unanimously voted to contract <br />with the Colorado Water Conservation Board to construct the project. A contract between <br />the Town and the CWCB has been prepared and received the necessary approvals from this <br />Board and the Town with preliminary approval from the Attorney General's Office. The <br />contract will provide the needed construction moneys for the project. <br /> <br />In addition, this Board has been advised by the DNR Accounting Office that an <br />appropriation for the Erie Flood Control Project no longer exists. After further review, it <br />is discovered that the appropriation disappeared from the ledger after FY 85 (See Exhibits <br />lA and lB). A review of SB 439-81; SB 87-82; HB 1102-83; HB 1128-84; HB 1042-85; and <br />SB 27-86 will provide additional background information on the project. <br /> <br />Only the General Assembly upon recommendation by the Board can de authorize a <br />project. We have no record of a request by the Town to deauthorize nor is there legislation <br />annulling the project authorization. Therefore, I request that you place the project monies <br />in your accounts as originally authorized. <br />
