PAGE 2 SEPTEMBER 24, 2001 include a brief executive summary and it be presented to the Board of Health and the Water Board so that these two boards can offer informed recommendations to the Fort Collins City Council. Halligan Reservoir Enlargement Project The City of Fort Collins and the North Poudre Irrigation Company (NPIC) entered into the Halligan Reservoir Agreement in November 1993. The purpose of the agreement is to give the City the option of pursuing the enlargement of Halligan Reservoir, which is currently owned by NPIC. If the City exercises that option, they could proceed with development of the project. The Water Supply Committee recommends that the City continue with actions during the next year that will put the City in a position to exercise the Halligan option at the end of 2002. These actions include: 1) Complete the review and update of the Water Supply Policy for adoption by the City Council. 2) Pursue an agreement with NCWCD regarding competing water storage decrees and how they could be administered in the future. 3) Explore the feasibility of a joint project with other local entities and enter into any necessary agreements. 4) Hire a consulting firm to conduct additional environmental and feasibility studies, update cost estimates, and review permitting issues associated with the project. David Lauer made the motion to accept the recommendations of the Water Supply Committee. Robert Ward seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously.
