It occurred to me that you might wish to be kept abreast
of the activities this firm is undertaking on behalf of the City
of Aspen and Pitkin County with respect to the offering of water
by the Basalt Water Conservancy District and the Colorado River
Water Conservation District out of Ruedi Reservoir. Accordingly,
1 prepared a letter over a month ago transmitting the enclosed
documents. The only drawback was obtaining executed copies of all
the enclosures. Having just received such, I am enclosing a copy
of the 1976 Resolution by the Board of County Commissioners, the
recently adopted Resolution by the City of Aspen, a Joint Resolu-
tion of the City of Aspen and Pitkin County, and a proposed resolu-
tion submitted to the Basalt District expressing the City of Aspen's
and Pitkin County's position that water should not be offered for
sale for new municipal and industrial development where such would
be inconsistent with local land -use plans and result in a decline in
the recreational value of Ruedi Reservoir.
Additionally, the City of Aspen and Pitkin County have submitted
the enclosed correspondence to the Colorado River Water Conservation
District.
Due to the concerns you expressed in your recent correspondence
to the Basalt District and your position on the effects upon local
land -use planning by the contemplated Ruedi water sales, we felt the
enclosures may be of interest to you.
