City Council Meeting Minutes June 6, 2006 Page 14 of 16 Mayor Sisk requested a City Attorney introduction. City Attorney Light read Ordinance No. 1494, Series 2006. Mayor Sisk requested a Staff presentation. Public Works Director Phare explained in 1932 the City acquired interest in Mammoth Reservoir just outside the Boulder County limits in Gilpin County. The property was acquired for purposes of water storage to supplement the municipal water system. The City did not proceed with acquiring the necessary water rights to store in the reservoir. In the late 1980's the City and the Forest Service with assistance of the National Guard demolished the dam as it was in poor state of repair and a threat to breach and cause flooding damage. The City's original interest in the property was acquired with the understanding that if it was ever abandoned as a water storage facility that the property would revert to the original seller. The City effectively abandoned its storage interest in the property and the property owner is requesting a Quit Claim Deed in order to clarify the fact that the property has in fact reverted to the original property owner. The Ordinance by Quit Claim Deed has been prepared by the City's Attorney. The City Attorney's office has recent understanding with Mr. Toll that the City would be reimbursed for its legal expenses associated with the preparation and conveyance of the Quit Claim Deed. MOTION: Mayor Sisk moved that Council send out Ordinance No. 1494, Series 2006 for publication and set a public hearing for June 20, 2006, seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Brown. All in favor.
