Since the Board's grant funds are committed into the Year 2000, you suggested that the Authority submit a letter of application in preparation for future consideration. You also advised that our budget request to EI Paso County for the year 1999 be included in our application, Please find attached to this letter of application for a grant from the Colorado Water Conservation Board to conduct water studies, the Authority's 1999 budget request to the EI Paso County Board of Commissioners, Since we were advised that our request was to be reduced again from $25.000 to $17,000. the Authority made an appeal to the Commissioners on 1 October 1998, The results of this appeal is unknown at this time, but we are hopeful. Because of a budget reduction in 1998 and other administrative problems in committing funds, all of the proposed planning studies except the Inventory of County water purveyors had to be postponed to 1999, Any further reductions, will extend the planning process into 2001. The EI Paso County Water Authority was established under Sections 18 and 2 of Article XIV, Constitution of the State of Colorado. and subsection 29-1-204,2, Colorado Revised Statutes 1973, The Authority consist of sixteen membered districts and municipalities, including the County. The attachment outlines the Authority's goal to effect the development of water resources, systems, and facilities in whole or part for the benefit of its members and their inhabitants, and other residents of the County, now and into the future. To ensure the completion of all proposed planning studies within the anticipated five- year program and to enable the Authority to meet administrative costs, a grant of $75,000 is requested, I am the technical consultant to the Authority hired within the last several months, I will be glad to answer any of your questions and/or submit additional information, The officers of the Authority and their addresses are as follows: President Bill Nance, Donala Water and Sanitation District 15950 Holbein Dr., Colorado Springs CO 80921 719-488-2312
