Roll call vote was taken. The motion passed by a vote of 7-0. Public Works Director Tom Phare distributed a graph, which depicted the projection of City water supply versus water demand. He also distributed and reviewed a spreadsheet that outlined the water demand by month, using 2001 data. The spreadsheet also outlined the various sources of the water supply. Phare emphasized that with the dry winter; the next six weeks will be critical. He stated the water supply would be monitored and that the Council would be updated on a monthly basis. Mayer asked Phare about the City's current holdings of CBT water and Windy Gap. Phare stated that the City owns over 1,000 units of CBT water. He projected 100% quota on CBT, which is one acre-foot per unit, and 0% from Windy Gap. Mayer addressed the Windy Gap Water supply and asked why the projection is so low. Phare stated that in dry years, the Windy Gap water peaks at the runoff season, and is difficult to capture. He noted that Windy Gap water is used more by entities and the City's prorated share is very small. Mayer stated that Windy Gap is a storage system for CBT water. Phare stated that there has not been a runoff pattern capable of keeping the reservoir full with Windy Gap. He stated the City might get some water out of Windy Gap, but not realize full quota. Mayer requested the monthly updates be more detailed. Davidson commented that the City purchased Windy Gap because it was the criteria for joining the Northem Colorado Water District and purchasing Big Thompson water. CITY ATTORNEY'S REPORT None.
