Sr 22)3 P.O. B.X /38 GREELEY, COLORADO 80631 COLORADO November 5, 1975 Br-- Mr. J. Ben Nix, Chairman Northern Colorado Water Conservancy District 1250 North Wilson Avenue Loveland, Colorado 80537 Lear Mr. Nix, Enclosed is a resolution unanimously approved by the Board of Weld County Commissioners at today's Board meeting. The Board feels the resolution states clearly the importance of the needed change, as described in the resolution, in the NCWCD southern boundary line in Weld County so that the NCWCD boundary coincides with the Weld-Boulder and Weld-Adams lines. The Board believes that this request for a change in boundary would in no way leave the NCWCD open to future requests for boundary changes to the west in the mountainous areas in Larimer and Boulder counties because adequate danestic water needs are in danger in this case in terms of the southern municipalities' , particularly Fort Lupton's and Erie's, ability to meet future water quality standard requirements of the federal government . Protection of Weld's agricultural lands, planned growth contiguous to existing towns according to the Weld County Comprehensive Plan and economic stability of southern Weld County could depend on the extension of the NCWCD boundary. Extension of the boundary to coincide with the county lines would also Lend continuity and canplete jurisdictional authority for both NCWCD and Weld County. A basic policy of the NCWCD, as understood by this Board, is the serving of agricultural interests. Weld County's Comprehensive Plan is geared to preserving agricultural land. Therefore this Board feels the requested boundary change imperative to interests of both the NCWCD and the people of Weld County. This Board would appreciate hearing from or meeting with you regarding this matter at your earliest convenience. Best regards, Glenn K.

Reeb, Agency Coordinator Northern Colorado Water Conservancy District 1250 North Wilson Avenue Loveland, Colorado 80537 Dear Mr. Reeb, Thank you very much for your letter of November 11 and the copy of the NCWCD resolution. As you requested, Weld County will endeavor to keep you advised of any activities which would involve the interests of Weld County in the creation of the proposed Metro Water District. This week the Board of Weld County Commissioners met with municipalities in the southern end of Weld County; the meeting included representatives from Erie, Frederick, Firestone and Dacono, Fort Lupton and Keenesburg. There was major discussion of this Board's resolution presented to the NCWCD requesting the inclusion in the NCWCD of souther areas of Weld County. Even though a vote was not taken, major interest was indicated, with strong feeling particularly from Fort Lupton, about encouragement of further discussion and negotiations regarding including southern Weld County in the NCWCD. Most of the Fort Lupton Town Council members present were not desirous of any participation in the Metro Water District and were very much opposed to crossing of jurisdictional boundaries by major utilities or the proposed Metro District. As Chairman of the Board of Commissioners, I requested fran towns involved letters indicating official action by,those town councils regarding this Board's resolution requesting extension of the NCWCD boundaries. I appreciated your quick response to this Board's resolution and will keep you posted of any further information regarding this matter. Best regards, • , �riv 4- _ 7JCl: Glenn K.
