H. Hottenroth dated <br />January 22, wherein Mr. Beise set forth the position of the Board of the Southeastern <br />Colorado Water Conservancy District as of that date. Nichols also reported that a <br />conference call between Corps of Army Engineers representatives, Attorney Charles <br />Belae, General Manager Tbomson. and himself was bad on Thursday, February 8, 1968, <br />wherein Colonel flottenroth outlined a schedule of activities which must be carried on if <br />the proposal is to be submitted in proper time. President Nichols then read a letter <br />from 'Colonel J. H. Hottenroth to Governor John A. Love, dated February 9, reiterating <br />the schedule of activities which the Colonel boped the Colorado Water Conservation <br />Board and the Southeastern Colorado Water Conservancy District could meet. In the <br />conference call, and In the letter to the Governor, Colonel Hottenrotb advised that the <br />Game. Fish and parks Department and tbe U. S. Bureau of Fisheries and Wildllie bad <br />offered several significant chs.nges in the Project which would protect wildlife and pro- <br />vide recreation activities in the channelized section between Pueblo and John Martin. <br />President Nichols stated he foresaw additional problems and additional COBt~ being im- <br />posed by the requirements from the Game. Fish and Parks and the Bureau of Fisheries <br />and Wildlife. Attorney Beise then 'read a memorandum from General Manager Thomson <br />to Nichols and Beise regarding the conference call. <br /> <br />: ~ <br /> <br />President Nichols stated that two items could be reviewed at this time: 1. Get the <br />cities with local flood control projects to underwrite their specific projects. and. <br />2. Get a pilot program developed between the Corps of Engineers and the USGS which <br />would be funded by the Federal Government. Young suggested that until we can- get <br />specific; information on the Game, Fish and Parks request, there is little that tbe Board <br />can do, and possibly, this request may put the entire project beyond the scope of the <br />District. Cooper observed that the channelization program would be most beneficial <br />for the valley, but was concerned about the related items. After further discussion, it <br />was suggested that tbe Attorney for the District write to tbe Corps of Army Englneera <br />advising of the concern over the Game, Fish and Parks proposal, and that DO action <br />could be taken by ilie Board until we receive Ute formal report. <br /> <br />COMMITTEE REPORTS: <br /> <br />". <br /> <br />President Nlcbola reported to the Board that the General Manager bad been directed to <br />write a letter to Engineer Wallace Doe suggesting a review of the Contract between the <br />District and Mr. Doe. Nicbola atated that the Manager bad written a letter to Mr. Doe <br />advising that due to the change of activities since the original Contract was entered into, <br />the Contract between the District and Mr. Doe would be terminated on February 20. <br />Nichols also reported that Mr. Doe bad responded on January 25, agreeing the Contract <br />should be terminated by mutual consent. Milenski moved, seconded by Hutchinson, <br />that the action be approved by the Board. Motion unanimously carried. <br /> <br />GAGING STATIONS: <br /> <br />President Nichols tben read a: letter from Ibe USGS requesting the Conservancy District <br />to assume one-half of the operating costs of the gaging atation on tbe Apisbapa River. <br />He advised this station was originally establisbed by the Corps of Army Engineers, but <br />had been discontinued by them in July. USGS and others feel that the information gathered <br />at this station would be very helpful in the overall river management program and of ' <br />service in the management of the Fryingpan..Arkansas Water. Director Milenski con- <br />curred in this observation, and Young moved. seconded by Dilley, that the Board approve <br />the expenditure of $650 per year as the Districts part of the program.
