Moses <br /> <br />.n02-~o'- <br /> <br />',' <br /> <br />AGENDA ITEM #8 <br /> <br />ACTING DIRECTOR'S REPORT <br /> <br />March 13. 1963 <br /> <br />Aqenda Item #88, Closed Basin Salvaqe proiect Meetinqs. <br /> <br />The Acting Director has conducted three educational <br />meetings in the San Luis valley to acquaint people in the Valley <br />with the Board's position on the Closed Basin Salvage project. <br />The first meeting was held on January 17th in Alamosa to present <br />the project report at a combined meeting of the conejos Water <br />Conservancy District and the San Luis valley Water Conservancy <br />District. The results of this meeting were, in my opinion. <br />encouraging_ Since that time resolutions have been received from <br />both conservancy Districts endorsing the Board's position on this <br />project and urging the state to seek authorizing legislation in- <br />corporating all of the provisions set forth as conditions neces- <br />sary for acceptance of the project report by the State of colorado. <br /> <br />On February 9th a similar informational meeting was <br />conducted for the membership of the Rio Grande Water Users Asso- <br />ciation in Monte vista, colorado. A detailed presentation of <br />the project report was made at the meeting, however, no formal <br />action was taken by the Board except that a substitute proposal <br />to curtail surface diversions was rejected at this meeting. In <br />my opinion this meeting was productive and well worthwhile. <br />After the presentation a number of questions regarding the con- <br />struction and operation of the project were asked and answered. <br />It is significant to note that the tenor of this meeting was <br />considerably different from the meeting held on February 3, 1962. <br />in that the questions asked, and the comments made, were all <br />constructive. The reception was quite cordial and it appeared <br />that the membership of the Rio ~rande Water Users Association were <br />sincere in their efforts to understand the project so that it <br />could be evaluated by them intelligently. <br /> <br />The third meeting under this heading has not been held <br />at this time (March 7, 1963) but will be held the evening of <br />March 11. 1963, with a group of small ditch owners above Monte <br />vista. An oral report will be made on the impressions gained at <br />this meeting. <br /> <br />Agenda Item #8b, Trinidad proiect Proqress <br /> <br />At the time of this writing, little specific informa- <br />tion on the Trinidad project progress is available.
