Proposed Budget Additions I <br /> <br />In accordance with the views expressed in the enclosed project <br />summaries, the staff believes that the current water situation in the <br />San Luis Valley is the most critical one in the state of Colorado today. <br />It is therefore recommended that the sum of $150,000 for F.Y. 1976 and <br />$50,000 for the transition quarter be sought to accomplish advance <br />planning for the Closed Basin project. <br /> <br />As can be seen from the project summary, the Dolores project should <br />be ready for construction before the end of the next fiscal year. This <br />is a high priority project and construction should be undertaken without <br />further delay. It is therefore recommended that construction funds in <br />the amount of $300,000 for F.Y. 1976 and $200,000 for the transition <br />quarter be requested to initiate project construction. <br /> <br />The feasibility report on the Lower Yampa project was terminated <br />before its completion. The board members will recall that the board <br />recommended an appropriation of $100,000 last year to assist in the <br />completion of the feasibility report. This appropriation was not made. <br />The staff recommends that another attempt be made on the same basis. <br /> <br />In relation to each other as additional funding requests for <br />F.Y. 1976 and the transition quarter, the staff recommends that the <br />priority and amounts be established as follows: <br /> <br />Memorandum <br /> <br />-2- <br /> <br />March 12, 1976 <br />
