Colorado Water Conservancy District to increase the pipeline from 3 c.f.s, to 4 c.f.s. Roll call was taken. Motion passed by a 6-1 vote with Howard being absent. Phare: I want to make sure any roll we should be taking in getting water (INAUDIBLE). We have some preliminary, discussion with Boulder, if that needs to be pursued, and some time tables established consistent with our touching the appropriate bases on the Northern Project. I know that there is a willingness on Boulder to sell some of that water now, even under some terms, commit to it under an option bases for a limited time period. If we need to do that, I'd like to see that it's done. If you'd like to wait until in the future, that's fine, but there may be a change in attitude, a different policy decision made in the future. I would also like some direction on whether I should be gathering a portfolio of Colorado Big Thompson water or should I be telling people, not yet, keeping in mind that there is some dollars allotted there as early as '93. What is your desire regarding the discussions with Boulder on a firm arrangements on acquiring a few units of raw Windy Gap? Mayer wanted this looked into at some depth,, with some feedback as to what Louisville's options are. What is Boulder offering? What sort of lease possibilities does Louisville have for Windy Gap? What is the Windy Gap situation in terms of, if Louisville procures CBg?, how soon will Louisville get it and for how much? He would like to look at the implications of a mill levy with CBT? Could that be paid out of the water fund or does that have to be assessed on each property owner? Council wanted some Work Session on this. Phare: This was direction on the Northern District water. I would assume that we are still actively in the market on South Boulder Creek, given we don't know we have a pipeline project. 14
