<br />Annual Report for 1990 <br /> <br />A motion to accept was made by Carl Shinn and seconded <br />by Jim Rogers. Motion passed. <br />WHEREAS, the Division Engineer has been imposing a <br />35% charge of all water stored in John Martin Reservoir, stored <br />there under Amity's Great Plains Decree to be used as a credit <br />to the "Kansas Transit Account", and <br />WHEREAS, said 35% is also charged on Amity Winter <br />Water stored there under the winter storage decree, and <br />WHEREAS, the shareholders of Amity Mutual Irrigation <br />Company in their annual meeting assembled, wish to express <br />their extreme dissatisfaction with the charges on the winter <br />water and also to pulling the Great Plains Water in the Kansas <br />Transit Account <br />NOW THEREFORE BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED, that the <br />Board of Directors of Amity be directed to take whatever action <br />it deems necessary to see to it that such charge is eliminated <br />at once. <br />A motion to accept was made by Carl Shinn and seconded <br />by Jim Rogers. <br />Quite a iengthy discussion was entered into; with former <br />Board Members asked to comment on this 35%. Leo POllart <br />thought that the 35% was not to include the winter storage. <br />Dan Neuhold, District 66 & 67 Water Commissioner was asked <br />what constituted winter storage. "Any water stored from <br />November 1 to March 15". He was then asked if there is two <br />programs and he deferred Ihe queslion 10 Bill Howland, from <br />the Division of Water Resources. <br />The Resolution was then reread. Mr. Howland then tried to <br />explain a very complicated set of regulations. The 35% charge <br />was puf into effect in 1980 and only water historically not <br />stored In John Martin was to be charged. 1700 a.f. in Ihe <br />Kansas Transit has been modified to "all"; that is charged lhe <br />35%. Division Engineer does not have the authority to change <br />this, it will have to go to the Compact Administrator. Fort Lyon <br />and Las Animas Consolidated would have to agree. There was <br />an agreement reached in about 1980. It can be modified or <br />cancelled by February 15th of each year and has to be agreed <br />to by both Kansas and Colorado. Jim Sherwood then remarked <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />P4 <br />
