PROPOSED GIFT TO <br /> CITY OF RECREATION <br /> FACILITY Johnson asked for more details regarding this gift <br /> and to have it opened for discussion under Regular <br /> Business so that everyone can have the opportunity <br /> to know exactly what the gift is. Hioco explained <br /> that it is a course similar to the one at Viele <br /> Lake, located by the South Boulder Recreation <br /> Center . The only cost incurred by the City would <br /> b. the City Park Department 's time in installation <br /> and the cost of the sand used in the course. This <br /> would be located in Centennial Valley in South <br /> Louisville. The materiels are manufactured wood <br /> and metal to minimize vandalism and <br /> deteriorization. Mr . Hammer, the donor, was <br /> unavailable to publicly thank. However, a letter <br /> of appreciation will be sent and a plaque in his <br /> name will be erected at the site. Leary asked <br /> that an orientation class be held to allow the <br /> public to become familiar with the course. Hioco <br /> will also have a Rap available, however , the <br /> course is well marked and self-explanatory. Mayor <br /> Meier moved that the City accept this gracious <br /> donation of this recreation facility, Cussen <br /> seconded and Council accepted the motion unanimously. <br /> UPDATE - RAW WATER <br /> AVAILABILITY Upon Council 's request, Steve Williamson, City <br /> Water Attorney, provided some information <br /> regarding the City 's raw water availability and <br /> answered questions or concerns that Council had <br /> have. He related that there is a less than <br /> average snow pack in the foothills from Deaver <br /> north. South Boulder Creek is 302 below average. <br /> Yet other parts of Colorado are above average. <br /> Reservoir storage is in excellent shape all along <br /> the front range including South Boulder. Marshall <br /> Lake is full and we will get our full yield of <br /> Marshall shares, both those that the City owns and <br /> those that we lease. All lease transactions are <br /> happening on target . Williamson is therefore <br /> projecting that there will NOT be a raw water <br /> shortage and there may even be it SLIGHT surplus. <br /> Williamson stated two areas of concern: 1) lawn <br /> watering practices, i .e. , too much too soon - this <br /> being extremely wasteful; 2) 1986 projections, <br /> i.e. , the second year after a dry year. This <br /> could be a problem if indeed the water acquisition <br /> program and transfer proceedings are not stepped <br /> up dramatically. Williamson also related that the <br /> City 's water rates don't provide a financial <br /> incentive for water conservation. In order to gat <br /> through this year , the City will essentially <br /> deplete the carryover storage this year in order <br /> 3 <br />
