Board Meeting-- <br />Animas-La Plata Project (Ridges Basin Dam) Cost <br />Sharing Agreement <br /> <br />Introduction <br /> <br />The June 30. 1986. Binding Agreement for Animas-La Plata <br />Project Cost-Sharing specifies that the State of Colorado shall <br />provide $5.6 million for the Ridges B~sin Dam "on a schedule <br />acceptable to Colorado and the Secretary [of the Interior] <br />beginning in the first year of construction of said dam." <br />Pursuant to section 37-60-121 (6.1). C.R.S.. the Board has been <br />authorized to enter into a binding agreement with the Secretary <br />to contribute the required $5.6 million. <br /> <br />At its September 28-29. 1989. meeting. the Board authorized <br />me to commence negotiations with the Bureau of Reclamation on <br />this agreement. At its November 13-14. 1989. meeting. the <br />Board aut~orized me to execute the agreement that had been <br />negotiated subject to final editorial revisions being made. it <br />being anticipated at the time that there would be no <br />substantive changes. However. because I subsequently proposed <br />two substantive changes to further protect the Board's <br />interests. the agreement is only now ready for execution. <br />Thus. the matter is before the Board for final action. <br /> <br />Discussion <br /> <br />The final cost sharing agreement which Reclamation and I <br />have negotiated is e.lclosed. The principles upon which you <br />instructed me to negotiate are itemized below with a citation <br />to the relevant provision in the agreement. The onlY <br />substantive chanqes in the enclosed final aqreement relative to <br />the draft presented to you at the November Board meetinq are <br />those discussed in item (3) below. <br /> <br />0989E* <br />
