APR 15 1974 Board of County Commissioners Attention: Mr. Harry S . Ashley, Chairman Weld County Courthouse Ninth Avenue and Ninth Street Greeley, Colorado 80631 Gentlemen: We have prepared and are enclosing three specific clauses, which can be inserted, if applicable, in the standard rights-of-way easement contract for the Hayden-Ault Transmission Line, as discussed at our meeting at Greeley on February 19, 1974. This meeting was attended by Mr. Glenn Billings and some of the landowners involved. One or all of the clauses will be inserted, as indicated in Article 3 of the enclosed "Contract and Grant of Electric Transmission Line Easement" form, No. 7-1522, if it is found during negotiations with the land- owner that they are applicable to his property. The clauses were prepared along the same lines as the amended Declaration of Taking in the pending condemnation actions on the Archer-Weld Transmission Line. The suggestion of Mr. J. Norman Brown to negotiate the easements with a group of owners instead of individually has been checked with our legal counsel, and we have been advised no regulation precludes this type of negotiation with consenting landowners. Your assistance in contacting and informing the landowners of our program is appreciated. Sincerely yours, James M.
