The following letter was presented and read at length: CITY OF GREELEY February 29, 1968 Mayor Dorothy Martin Zabka Members of the City Council City ofGreeley Greeley, Colorado Dear Mayor Zabka and Councilmen: About four years ago, the Mays and City Council allowed city employees to use the facilitie, of Peterson Lake, and many pleasurable hours were spent at the cabin by city personnel. A lot of hard work was accomplished by man:. of these people, felling timlber, repairing the facilities of the cabin, and improving the premises generally. It is our understanding that the city is comtemplating the sale of the entire Big South Water -shed, whereby the employees will lose the right to use the cabin and it's surrounding area. We are also aware that the city owns property inown as Rockwell Ranch on the Little South This location offers excellent fishing.,�hunting, and recreation facilities and has the advantage over the Peterson Lake area in that Peterson Lake was three hour drive from Greeley, and because if it's extremely high altitude, the weather conditions made it's accessibility period restricted to about five month, at the most; whereas the proposed area for a new site is approximately a two hour drive from Greeley and is accessible more months of the year. We have a letter from the United States Department of Forestry guaranteeing permanent access to the area indicated in red on the attached map. We are asking the Council to give us permission and assistance in developing anderecting a cabin skucture for the recreational use of all city employees. Approximately 80 employees of the city have voiced their desire to take part in the con- struction, maintenance, supervision, and to make sure that rules ad regulations regarding the use of the cabin are strictly adhered to. The entire construction and improvementof this project will be accomplished by city employees on their own time and on a volunteer b They also guarantee that the site will be one that any citizen could be proud to claim as property of the City of Greeley. You are well aware, we are sure, that many large businesses and corporations have recrea- tional facilities for their employees, and we feel that the benefits we could reap- from s a facility, and the morale it would create between our city's personnel, it's Mayor, and it's Council, would be of profit to all concerned. e respectfully ask your permission, co-operation, and assistance in accomplishing this roject. Since this area is jointly owned by Greeley and Ft. Collins, we will also need pproval from Ft. Collins City Council. Also, we will need the two council's help in btaining permission from the present lease holder. ost respectfully, s/ ruce Forbes, Fire Chief on Martin, Pres., Asso. Municipal Employees of Greeley ernon Schaffer, Sup e,intendent of Streets ohn Pfliederder;:, Superintendent of Parks im Robenstein, Chief Building Inspector The letter is more or less self explanatory and the City Manager enlarged to some xtent on this request and explained the location upon which this cabin would be built.

Roll was called resulting as follows: Ayes: Councilmen Bennett, Carson, Troxell and Kruchten. Absent: Councilman Kissock, excused. Nayes: None. The President declarsi the motion adopted. The City Manager reported that he and the City Attorney had been in negotiation Ifor 1� shares of Capital Stock of the Water Supply and Storage Company at a price of $2,500.00. During these negotiations the City has been afforded the opportunity in lieu of acquiring said Water Supply and Storage stock and for the City to obtain 204 acre Uits of water from Northern Colorado Conservancy District for the same sum of money. It was the recommendation of the City Attorney and City Manager that they be permitted to complete the negotiations on this basis and start to make application to t1� Northern Colorado Conservancy District for the transfer of said acre units to the City and pay the Water Supply and Storage said sum of $2,500.00 and to permit said company to acquire the stock in their own companies. In his analysis of water value,those who are able to make application for various periods of water delivery have advised us that the Water Supply and Storage delivers about 107 acre feet per share, therefore, in acquiring 204 acre units of CBT water, the City would be receiving at least the same amount of water that they would have in 1� shares of Water Supply and Storage water. After further discussion, motion was made by Councilman Troxell, seconded by Councilman Kruchten, that the City Attorney and City Manager proceed with the negiations for purchase of the water upon the recommendation made.
