Minutes of Regular meeting of April 12, 1974 approved
Chairman Fischer stated copies of the minutes of the April 12, 1974, meeting
had been received; hearing no corrections, the minutes stood approved as
published.
Black $ Veatch proposal on 0 & M Manual for
Sewer Treatment Plant #resented
Director of Public Works, Chuck Liquin, informed the Board that the EPA grant
which the City received for improvement of Sewer Treatment Plant #2, had
as one of the conditions that the City direct its Engineering Consultants
to prepare an 0 $ M manual. The proposal as submitted by Black and
Veatch for this manual is $30,000; $24,000 of this amount will be funded.
Mr. Liquin advised the Board that this was an informational item to them
and no action needed at this time.
Approval given to North College Sanitation District acquisition
Director of Public Works, Chuck Liquin gave some background on the item to the
Water Board and referred to the agreement with the District in 1970 and the
Federal Grants to the City.for the construction and operation of this District.
The Chair felt that since this was a land matter and not necessarily a water
matter that the Water Board was not in a position to make a recommendation.
Mr. Harvey Johnson excused himself from the discussion and the voting due to
a possible conflict of interest.
The consensus of the Water Board on this matter then is; there is no
objection to the recommendation of the Director of Public Works to acquire

the land on which the North College Sanitation plant is located in the
amount of $8,000, and as to the means by which this should be done, the
Water Board is neither advised nor informed and expresses no opinion as
to the desirability of any particular method of approach.
Member Karl Carson made a motion that the Water Board advise the Council
that it sees no reason to object to the proposal as submitted by the
Director of Public Works, seconded by Fred Feit. Yeas: Feit, Evans,
Carson, and Waltz. Nays: Fischer. Abstaining: Johnson.
Board member Evans gave copies of a study prepared by Dave Hendricks
entitled "The Role of Water Reuse in Meeting Regional Water Requirements".
This study was presented as an added informational item.
Schedule of discussion on Windy Gap
Chairman Ward Fischer felt that the Water Board should discuss how to
schedule discussions on the question of whether or not the City of Fort
Collins should or should not participate in the Windy Gap Project and if
so, to what extent? Their decision must be ready by August 1, 1974,
and since the Water Board is only advisory to the Council, discussion
should be far enough in advance of the deadline so that Council will have
time to consider the matter.
Board member Carson suggested that the first meeting just be the Water
Board members. Then, after the Water Board has met and formed its
opinion on this matter, plan to meet with the Council.
Chairman Fischer will contact the Mayor concerning a meeting with Council,
and report back to the Board at its next regular meeting.
Adjournment
There being nothing further to discuss, the Board adjourned.
