Chairman Ward Fischer opened the meeting for discussion of the topic at
hand, the options available to provide the basis for a recommendation from
the Water Board on the Poudre Project Study.
Bill Green, Project Manager from the Staff of the Colorado Water
Conservation Board gave a brief presentation explaining the six potential
decision options for the Cache La Poudre Study as well as the project
alternatives which were summmarized in the Cache La Poudre Project Study
Summary Report. Following his presentation, he answered a number of
questions from Board members.
Stan Case, a member of the Citizen Steering Committee, was asked to attend
the meeting to offer some comments and suggestions to the Water Board. His
ideas contributed a valuable insight to the discussion since he has
substantial knowledge of the Poudre River and, as the former Light and
Power Director, he possesses considerable expertise in the area of
electrical power.
Gerry Horak, liaison to the Water Board from the City Council was also
present to offer comments and ideas. He, too, is a member of the Poudre
Study Steering Committee.
Each of the seven Board members present was given the opportunity to provide
input into the discussion. Although the comments were varied all were
incorporated in the final decision. Following the lengthy but productive
discussion, George Wallace moved that the Water Board support, in essence,
option No. four which recommends a broader study of the Cache La Poudre
Basin to provide comprehensive analysis of alternatives to construction of
dams in the Canyon. Dave Stewart seconded the motion and the Board voted
unanimous approval. The Board directed the staff to draft a letter
incorporating the substance of what had been discussed at the meeting and
the suggestions for specific direction of the study. The letter will be
forwarded to the City Council.
