is by
opening remarks by the Chairman, the following report was given
by Dwight Sayles as part of their design contract. In making this report the
firm of Black and Veatch used the population projections prepared by DT2 and the
recent Fort Collins histories of per capila flow loading.
ALTERNATE I
Take Plant No. 1, add secondary treatment that would meet 1978
standards, add Plant No. 2 - the balance of the addition.
ALTERNATE II ✓.
Construct the line between Plant No. 1 and No. 2 and use
existing facilities. Make Plant No. 1 the primary basin, then run affluent at
Plant No. 2 and add secondary treatment. Build Plant No. 3 and eventually
discontinue Plant No. 1 (secondary affluent at one point might require additional
treatment).
ALTERNATE III
Retain Plant No. 1 on standby basis. Run row sewage in line.
Construct total capacity at Plant No. 2.
Alternate I would be the least expensive, Alternate II would be more
expensive, and Alternate III would be the most expensive in capitol costs; but
the reverse would be true of operating costs. Therefore, Mr. Sayles recommended
the City should proceed with Alternate II being cognizant that the relative
costs indicate sizable amounts of money must be raised; so if federal funds
• become available, it would make a significant difference.
City Manager, Robert Brunton, advised the Water Board that he, Mr.

Di Tullio, and Mr. Liquin planned to meet with representitives of E. P. A.
on Wednesday regarding sources of federal funds. Federal funding for 75% of
the project is possible. However, Mr. Brunton stated that it may be a "lean
year" in 1973 for federal funds.
Dr. Norman Evans, Chairman of the Sewage Subcommittee, stated this had
been the first opportunity for them to review the alternatives presented by
Black and Veatch. Member Harvey Johnson spoke to the question of the Boxelder
Sanitation District and their federal funds request for a treatment plant.
Mr. Brunton stated the City was now looking into our alternatives and
not the total basin plan or the considerations of the Larimer-Weld Planning
Commission. Mayor Carson inquired whether or not E. P. A. might look more
favorably at the City's request if the Boxelder problem were included, as regards
to Plant No. 3.
The South Fort Collins Sewer District also has plans for Plant No. 3
and the functional plan was adopted by the Larimer-Weld Planning Commission.
Chairman Ward Fischer stated it was unfortunate that the urgency of the situation
did not allow the subcommittee time to review the alternatives and get a
recommendation to the full Water Board.
It was stated that if federal funds were not available, the renovations
• could be staged to reduce initial costs but probably would increase the long range
cost.
The City Manager expressed his desire to meet with the subcommittee and
schedule a breakfast meeting on Friday morning at 7:00 A.M. at the Juntion
Restaurant.
Chairman Ward Fischer announced that it was the consences of the Water
Board that with the consent of the subcommittee the Board schedule a meeting for
Friday, November 17, at 3:00 P.M.
There being no further business to come before the Board, the meeting
adjourned at 4:45 P.M.
