<br />., <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />1 <br /> <br />In 1998, the Authority requested $25,000 from EI Paso County to complete three projects, <br />but only $17,000 was awarded, <br /> <br />1998 Proposed Technical Studies <br />. EI Paso County Water Resources Study <br />. Optimum County Water Distribution Infrastructure <br />. Water Plan for Private Well Owners <br /> <br />This year, the Authority again requested $25,000 from El Paso County to complete three <br />additional projects, but again only $17,000 was awarded, <br /> <br />1999 Proposed Technical Studies <br />. Water Import Projects <br />. Water Reuse <br />. Synergistic Projects with the City of Colorado Springs <br /> <br />Discussion <br /> <br />Because of the budget reductions and problems in committing funds, all of the proposed <br />technical studies except the inventory were postponed to 1999. The Authority would like to begin <br />the studies as soon as any funds might become available. Brief descriptions of these proposed <br />technical studies are given in the Authority's 1999 budget request to the county, attached to this <br />memo. The CWCB staff has not provided input to the plan of study or detailed cost estimates for <br />any of the technical studies, <br /> <br />Recommendation <br /> <br />I recommend that the Board consider a grant of up to $75,000 over a 3-year period from <br />any funds available to the Board from the Severance Tax Trust Fund Operational Account <br />provided that: <br /> <br />a, the staff can work with the EI Paso County Water Authority to assure the plan of study for <br />the technical studies is defined to produce a set of quality products through an effective <br />process at reasonable cost, and <br /> <br />b, the MEGA Board concurs with the proposal. <br /> <br />Attachment <br /> <br />L:\BOARDMEM\JAN99\16c - El Paso County <br /> <br />2 <br />
