of the Town’s Windy Gap water,and subsequent transfer to the Superior
Metropolitan District #1 and their sale of 4 units to the Town of Erie,and bond
payment liability thereof.Trustee Habecker questioned the process to alleviate
the Town of said liability,with Attorney White responding that as the Town was a
party to the original pledge on the bonds,the liability cannot be removed for the
Town.The bonds mature in 2017,and should Erie default on the payments,the
units would be returned to the Town at a much greater value than when
transferred.Attorney White read Ordinance #5-03.Public comment was heard

the Town’s previous purchase of 211 units of CBT water and the procedure

units.The NCWCD has implemented new policy,and it requires conversion of
Temporary Use Permits to Section 131 Contracts effective November 1,2003,
thus Town Attorney White read Resolution #4-03 canceling the Temporary Use
Permit for the 211 units and Ordinance #6-03 converting said units to a Section
