COUNCIL REMARKS Councilman Meier NOEL HOBBS - WATER CONSULTANT APPROVAL 1/6/81 Page - 5 - Inquired if the toal amount of funding was included in the application. Administrator Wurl replied that it was, it may behalf from the State and the remaining half from FHA. Councilman Meier then asked which of the three items would be priority if all the funding was not available, and shouldn't this be stated in the application. Administrator Wurl advised (1) the improve- ments to our existing reservior (2) Har- per Lake east of 80th (3) the gravel pit. However, it was Mr. Wurl's opinion that at this point there was no need to set a priority as our application was one of a few that is far enough along with projects to apply. The funding would be a loan for approximately 40 years @ 5% interest. Explained that the Water Conservation Board will initially review our appli- cation and then conrrnit funds for a feasibility study then funds for con- struction. In comparison with the Coal Creek project, this is being done on land that the City already owns. Discussion was held as to how many acre feet Harper Lake would acconrrnodate when the project is complete - 665 acre feet. Administrator Wurl advised a grant would be given the City for the feasibility study, and 1982 would possibly be the year the City would have to start re- paying the loan money on the project. Noel Hobbs stressed the importance of our agreement with the FRICO people allowing the City to use Marshall Lake for storage. Councilman Meier moved that the applica- tion for State Water Project be approved and instructed the City Administrator to file the application with the Colorado Conservation Board.
