Summary

County manager told commissioners that Denver Water disbursed CRCA funds that escalated to more than $6.4 million; staff reviewed prior resolutions and outlined intended allocations for water-quality, 'learning by doing' and Winter Park projects.

County Manager Moyer told the Board of County Commissioners that Denver Water had disbursed CRCA (Colorado River Cooperative Agreement) funds and that escalation calculations raised the total to "over $6,400,000." He said staff would notify recipients and proceed under previously approved resolutions, although a few reconciliations remain.

Moyer reviewed allocations: section 3.2 funds (originally $2,000,000, now escalated) for wastewater treatment plant water-quality improvements distributed among several districts; section 3.e.3 funds previously used for aquatic improvements; learning-by-doing funds totaling about $1,250,000 after escalation; and an additional approximately $2,000,000 (escalated) for Winter Park Water & Sanitation District projects including a Jim Creek pipeline and a Fraser River pump and pipeline tied to a 40-acre-foot discovery pond for snowmaking. Moyer said staff will perform required reconciliations and notify entities before disbursement under existing board resolutions.

Commissioners asked for a written breakdown and Moyer offered to email the detailed escalation figures to the board.
