to report on his findings in regard to the cost of water by our neighbor
cities. It was unanimously agreed and motion was made by Owen Moore, seconded
by Dugan Wilkinson, that the City meet the Current Market Price of Horsetooth
water that becomes available to the City within Larimer County, also, that
the City Manager negotiate with the seller at not more than Market Price
and offer rent back priveleges, since the City is not hurting for water at
the present time. To confer with the Water Board should there be a drastic
change in the cost of water. The President put the motion which was unanimously
adopted.
It was pointed out by several members that the City of Boulder had
recently purchased a large Block of Big T water and paid $150.00 per acre foot.
It was the consensus of opinion that this was forcing the price above what it
was worth at the present, however, it was stated that Boulder was in dire need
and did so with out considering the other cities.
