The following communication was presented and read at length: May 7, 1964 City of Fort Collins City Hall Fort Collins, Colorado Gentlemen: I am writing to you on behalf of Mr. and Mrs. James Steckman and. Mr. Alfred H. Turner who are the avers of 529 Crestmore in Fort Collins. At sometime during March 2 and March 11, 1964, the sewer line serving 529 Crestmore became obstructed and caused sewage to back up into the basement of the residence owned by my clients and caused considerable damage as detailed later in this letter. My investigation of this matter discloses that the sewer line serving this residence and other residences on Crestmore has preciously caused considerable trouble, that a previous owner of 529 Crestmore advised the City on two previous occa:sions that the line was ob- structed and that the City has had adequate prior notice that this sewer line is either improperly installed or is improperly operated and maintained, to the extent that damage occasioned to the residence of my clients was foreseeable by the City. It is my opinion that the City's failure to correct the defect in this sewer line after notice thereof constitutes negligence on the part of the City and renders it liable for the damage sus- tained by my clients. The substantial damage resulting to my clients as a result of the City's negligence in this respect is as follows: Draining basement and cleaning up $ 18.00 New Heating fan control, fan and limit dontrol 22.30 Recreation Room: %0 Lineal feet of stud wall, material and Labor 245.00 394 May 14, 1964 Knotty Pine Paneling - 70 lineal ft. lst Bedroom: 11 lineal feet of dry wall 30 lineal feet of Knotty Pine and stud wall 2nd Bedroom: 44 lineal feet of dry wall Stair landing - tear out and replace Remove dry wall and replace - Under stairs Remove and replace paneling in hallway Bathroom: 24 x,% drywall Two each new doors - closet Bathroom stool 5 each - Mah. flush doors - Replace Damaged sump pump Labor Cleaning up $ 406.00 29.00 240.00 105.60 100.00 50.00 100.00 60.00 20.00 115.00 100.00 49.95 20.00 40.00 $1,720.85 Demand is hereby made on behalf of my clients and against the City of Fort Collins for payment of their damages in the total sum aforesaid.

In addition, many of the conservancy districts, other governmental units, ditch companies, industrial firms and others are also members. Membership in the Colorado Water Congress is important to you because: 1. The Colorado Water Congress is the only independent, non -political action group dedicated to Promoting the water interests of the State and establishing unified support for water programs which are agreed to by the membership after full consideration. 2. The Colorado Water Congress, through its monthly newsletter, other mailings and meetings is the only organization providing for the exchange of information between water users, private industries and roPficial bodies about Cokrrado water problems and programs. 3. The Colorado Water Congress has a growing concern about the need to pro- tect Colorado's dwindling water supplies and to get water users and agencies to look beyond family water fights and focus on the need to work together before it is too late. 4. The Colorado Water Congress is working for you and many of its accomplish- ments directly or indirectly affect you. These activities include the research done by the Congress through its Water Investigation Commission; its work on wilderness legislation; its efforts in resisting increasing federal encroach- ment on state water rights; its work in originating the move toward water law redodification; its efforts in promoting Colorado water development. The Colorado Water Congress exists today with an active program because there are enough people like you in the State and in your area with the foresight to see the necessity of a strong water program for the State; and because these people in all the counties throughout the State are willing to forget their differences while they discuss May 14, 1964 matters that they can agree on. The Colorado Water Congress is a growing organization today because more and more people are coming to realize that the future of Colorado --and of your area --is writt in terms of water supply. The Mayor spoke at length on the above matter and stated that he thought that the City of Fort Collins should be a member and that members of the Council, the Water Board, the City Attorney and the City Manager should receive copies of the monthly News- letter and such other prochures that are sent out by the Colorado plater Congress. Motion was made by Councilman McMillan, seconded by Councilman Guyer, that the City of Fort Collins participate to the limit of $100.00 for this year. Roll was called resulting as follows: Ayes: Councilmen Johnson, Colwell, McMillan, Guyer and Councilwoman Quinn. Nayes: None. The President declared the motion adopted.
