the construction of a habitat recovery area and another $150,000
each year for the next three years for a study of the flows in the
Colorado River. The Six City Water Committee agreed to these pro-
grams in order to avoid court actions and further delays which could
cost about five million dollars. Bids on construction of the Windy
Gap Project will be received on May 7, 1981 and construction should
begin on June 7th.
There being no further business, the meeting adjourned.
