Dear Weld County,

the address above.
Please execute the ballot on the other side of this page and return it to the office.
The directors are providing you with the enclosed proxy and voting ballot to fill out and send beck
to the Association in lieu of your attendance at the annual meeting, The items to be voted on at l
meeting include electing -- two directors Re three-year terms, the levying of assessments and any any
business** may properly come before the membership.
The board currently consists of seven directors, Mike Hungenberg (President), Lynn Fagerberg
(Vice-president), Frank Eckhardt, Keith Amen, Bryan Hoffner, Bruce Johnson and Dale Trowbridge
(Secretary).
The directors whose terms expire this year are Bryan Hoffner and Dale Trowbridge. These two are
on the enclosed ballot. No other nominations have been made for director.
The well pumping fees for 2016 are recommended by the directors to meet the budget needs of the
company. The directors are recommending the well assessments be $2.75 per acre-foot of pumping.
If you would prefer to attend the annual meeting rather than fill out the enclosed proxy and ballot,
or if you have questions or comments about the Association, the items of business, the proxy or the annual
meeting, please contact Dale Trowbridge, Secretary of the Association, at the number above for further
details and so that we can obtain a bead count of those who plan to attend in person.
Questions have been raised as to the possibility of well owners using their well for hydraulic
fracking of oil & gas wells. The CLPWUA well augmentation plan does NOT augment wells for this use.
Therefore, using a well for this purpose is outside of the policy of the company. Those who do use their
well for purposes outside of the augmentation of the Association are risking future use of their well.
Thank you for your continued support of the Association.
Sincerely,
Dale Trowbridge
Secretary, Board of Directors
