CASCADE DAM -FALL RIVER HYDRO PLANT:
A letter dated May 14,1984 from the National Park Service has
been received.The letter stated the Town does have the right to
reconstruct Cascade Dam as long as such construction is in the
same location,the dam is the same size,and the dam is used only
for diversion not storage.However,the National Park Service
would prefer that the Town elect not to do so.Due to the Lawn
Lake Flood,a sediment problem has occurred and will probably
persist in the foreseeable future.Discussion followed with
input from the Town’s Accountant Jerry Boudreaux regarding
funding from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (F.E.M.A.)
for reconstruction.An informative report written by C.S.U.was
also submitted.The report deals with sediment transport and
channel modifications of Fall River following the Lawn Lake
Flood.The Committee recommends the National Park Service be
advised that in view of the reports,a decision will be delayed
until such time as the Light and Power Department has met with
their consultants and acquired further facts.When the consul
tant’s report has been submitted,the Committee also recommends
that Leonard Boulas/State of Colorado and possibly Roger
Free/F.E.M.A.meet with the Town to discuss the Cascade Dam
Project.
APPLICATION FOR GENERATING UNIT -OLYMPUS DAM:
Following a brief report,the Committee recommends applying for a
preliminary permit from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
for a generating unit located at Olympus Dam.
RATE ADJUSTMENT:
Director Dekker advised the Committee of a proposed rate re
duction.R.W.Beck,our rate consultants,have recently com
pleted a cost of service study based on the 1983 test year.With
the present kilowatt hour “adder”of minus $.00075,the resulting
adder will be minus $.00288.The old rate would be applied to
meters read in July;the new rate would be applied to meters read
in August.The Committee recommends the Gorsuch,Kirgis,
Campbell,Walker and Grover firm prepare the resolution and

resolution and ordinance to the Board of Trustees at the their
next regularly scheduled meeting.
