WHEREAS, it has now come to the attention of the Board of County
Commissioners, Weld County, Colorado, that a condemnation of Farmers
Reservior and Irrigation Company, Farmers Highline and Reservior Com-
pany and Lower Clear Creek is being sought by the municipalities of
Thornton, Northglenn, Dacono, and Westminster, Colorado; and
WHEREAS, the Board of County Commissioners, Weld County,
Colorado is aware that in the event the municipalities of Thornton, Dacono,
Northglenn and Westminster prevail, that many thousands of acres of
irrigated farmland will become in essence barren for lack of water, and
its evaluation greatly lessened thereby; and
WHEREAS, it is the determination of the Board of County Commis-
sioners; of Weld County, Colorado that the Colorado Land Use Commission
ought to intervene in the condemnation proceedings in question because of
the far reaching effect that the unprecedented decision in this case will
have on priority of productive agricultural land and reduction of revenue
to a County in which land sought to be condemned is situated.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the Board of County
Commissioners, Weld County, Colorado, that a copy of this Resolution
be forwarded to the Colorado Land Use Commission urging it to intervene
in the condemnation proceedings currently being conducted in Jefferson
County by the municipalities of Thornton, Westminster, Dacono, and
Northglenn against Farmers Reservior and Irrigation Company, Farmers
Highline and Reservior Company and Lower Clear Creek.
The above and foregoing Resolution was, on motion duly made and
seconded, adopted by the following vote on the 29th day of January, A. D. ,
1975.
