ROLL CALL It was moved by Director McMurtrey, seconded by Director Gallivan-Crist, to excuse the absence of Director Brandenburg. Roll call was taken. All other Directors were present. AGENDA REVIEW Agenda Item 6.3 – LTWD – City of Loveland Intergovernmental Agreement was moved for discussion before Agenda Item 6.1 – Carter Lake Filter Plant. There were no other changes to the agenda. PUBLIC COMMENTS ON NON-AGENDA ITEMS President Szmyd opened the Public Comments period. There were no public comments and the Public Comments period was closed. CONSENT AGENDA It was moved by Director Bukowski, seconded by Director Brandt, to approve the Consent Agenda including:

• Minutes of the January 9, 2020 Regular Board Meeting, • Tap List 649, • January 2020 Disbursements in the amount $1,800,669.64:

o Operating Account: $1,352,092.10: ACH Manual Check Numbers 2355 to 2399 – $1,076,548.40, Bank Bill Paycheck Numbers 5007 to 5028 - $60,069.12, Check Numbers 9693 to 9729 – $215,474.58,

o Payroll Account: (Two Bi-weekly payroll periods in December) for $448,577.54: ACH Transmittal Vouchers – O-1770 to O-1783 – $261,067.82, ACH Direct Deposit Numbers N-9453 to N-9520 – $187,509.72,

• January 2020 Financial Report. Motion carried unanimously. DISCUSSION ITEMS LTWD – City of Loveland Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA): The proposed IGA between Loveland and LTWD provides for the following:

• The new IGA changes the service boundary between the two entities. o Loveland desires to grow along State Highway (SH) 402 and would like to serve that corridor. o LTWD has not made substantial investment in that area and does not propose switching the

existing customers in that area unless they develop their property. o The change results in a loss of service area for LTWD of 4.6 square miles west of I-25 and

east of SH 287. • The two entities have services to customers that overlap service areas and sometimes have customers

served from the other entity’s lines. • Loveland and LTWD have not suggested transferring raw water supplies for this tap exchange. • In exchange for LTWD taking over the Campion area Loveland will be providing LTWD with up to

20 acre-feet of return flows for a portion of LTWD’s native water obligations. • The provision reduces the amount of water LTWD has to return through the river and therefore saves

LTWD costs that would otherwise be spent on infrastructure and water rights. • To make the tap swap effective, LTWD and Loveland have agreed to split the costs for the

infrastructure changes required. Following discussion, it was moved by Director Martens, seconded by Director Bukowski, to support the City of Loveland IGA subject to possible changes by the Loveland City Council. Motion carried unanimously.

Carter Lake Filter Plant (CLFP): The following items were discussed:

• In December 2019 CLFP board approved the purchase of additional membranes from Evoqua to replace membranes that had been damaged beyond repair. By Wednesday, February 5 CLFP had received approximately 540 modules.

• CLFP Manager, Rick Whittet, believes the 540 modules will be enough to take the plant through the 2020 summer season.

• A representative from Dupont tested the modules that were transported in a truck that was not climate controlled and determined the modules were acceptable for use.

• Discussion followed regarding means to assure the performance of the modules in addition to the testing completed by Dupont.

• Director Bukowski suggested forming a User’s Group for filter plants that use membranes. • The construction for the 7 million-gallon (MG) tank had begun. • The Bureau of Reclamation (BOR) granted CLFP perpetual easements. • Central Weld County Water District (CWCWD) and LTWD were planning to meet with Colorado

Department of Transportation (CDOT) to address the removal of the 42-inch waterline for use at CLFP.

• During Northern Colorado Water Conservancy District’s (Northern) scheduled canal shutdown CLFP used all three pumps at Dry Creek to keep up with the flows.

• No taste and odor complaints were taken at either District during the shutdown.

6

St. Vrain Water Authority (SVWA): Both Firestone and LTWD’s interim financing agreements were approved by the Authority at the January 2020 meeting. The Authority is in the process of setting up banking for operation. Going forward the scope of the board meetings will be more directed as to the creation of the Intergovernmental Agreements (IGA). SVWA Board Member David Lindsay and LTWD District Manager, Amber Kauffman, met February 5, 2020 to discuss IGA issues. It was decided that two agreements should be written. An IGA would address the formation and management of the Authority:

• Buyout or lease of capacity. • Opt-out of Authority. • Bonding ability of the Authority. • Rate structure: fixed costs and variable costs. • Decision making for capital expansion and allocation of costs/capacity. • Capital replacement to be made through rates. • Reserve accounts.

An Operations Agreement would address the operation of the Authority:

• Water accounting and water loss assignment. • Capital planning requirements. • Rate studies/structures, update requirements including triggers for updates. • How are new raw water sources approved for treatment, who pays for that approval, what happens if

it affects the treatment train, etc. • How are raw water/treated water deliveries managed or controlled. • Allocation of space on site for pumping facilities.

Discussion also included the following topics:

• Construction of the plant was expected to start in May or June of 2020, with the plant to be operational by 2022.

• A permit for a deep well injection site had been submitted.

Action Item: Resolution 2020-7, Consumer Data Privacy Policy: The Colorado Special District Association recommends adopting a Consumer Data Privacy Policy resolution as referenced in §24-73-101 C.R.S. Governmental entity – disposal of personal identifying information – policy – definitions. Following discussion, it was moved by Director Bukowski, seconded by Director Gallivan-Crist, to approve Resolution 2020-7, Consumer Data Privacy Policy. Motion carried unanimously. Public Hearing: Action Item: Motion to Ratify Adopted Resolution 2020-1, 2019 Amended Budget: The Board of Directors approved Resolution 2020-1 at the January 9, 2020 meeting. A Public Hearing is required for budget approval. The requirement was fulfilled at the February 13, 2020 meeting. The Public Hearing was properly noticed in two newspapers of general circulation within the district, as well as all District Posting Places. President Szmyd opened the Public Hearing. There were no public comments and the Public Hearing was closed. It was moved by Director Martens, seconded by Director Brandt, to ratify the 2019 Supplemental Budget and Appropriation Resolution 2020-1. Motion carried unanimously.

Weld County Request for Tap Relocation: Weld County was in the process of making improvements to the intersection at Weld County Road (WCR) 54 and WCR 17. The County purchased parcel number 095729000014 (served by LTWD Residential Tap 928). The existing utilities, including District infrastructure, were to be relocated for the intersection improvements. The county would not need a water tap at this location as it was to become a portion of a new traffic circle. Weld County also purchased parcel number 120713100090 at the southwest corner of the improved intersection of WCR 34 and WCR 13. The county planned to utilize the second parcel for a heavy equipment storage facility that would include a small office and restrooms. The proposed county facility would require a domestic water tap, therefore the basis of the county’s request to relocate tap 928 from parcel 095729000014 to parcel 120713100090. Subsection 304.1 of the District’s Rules and Regulations prohibit relocation of water meters unless the parcels are adjoining and of the same ownership. The referenced parcels were owned by Weld County but separated by approximately 10 miles. A waiver to the District’s Rules and Regulations was required to accommodate Weld County’s relocation request. Following discussion, it was moved by Director Szmyd, seconded by Director McMurtrey, to grant a waiver to the District’s Rules and Regulations, Subsection 304.1, to relocate Tap 928 from Parcel Number 095729000014 to Parcel Number 120713100090. Motion carried unanimously. Action Item: Resolution 2020-9 Board Term Limits: District Manager Kauffman presented information regarding changes to Board of Director Term Limits and Director Wards within the district, as requested by the Board at previous meetings. Per the Colorado Constitution changes to or removal of board term limits would require a vote by the District. A resolution would need to be passed to add a ballot question regarding changes to term limits. Additionally, the Board was advised there were no state statutes legislating the abolishment of director wards within the district. However, legislation was being crafted regarding the number of directors on a Special District board. This legislation was expected to include wording that would address changes to director wards. Following discussion, it was moved by Director Martens, seconded by Director Brandt, to adopt Resolution 2020-9 to add a ballot question in the May 5, 2020 election asking District voters to eliminate term limits, extend term limits from two 4-year terms to four 4-year terms, or keep term limits at two 4-year terms. Motion failed. Following further discussion, it was moved by Director Szmyd, seconded by Director Martens, to adopt Resolution 2020-9 to add a ballot question in the May 5, 2020 election asking District voters to extend term limits from two 4-year terms to four 4-year terms. Motion carried unanimously. Opposition to Johnstown’s Change of Consolidated Home Supply Change Case: The Town of Johnstown applied for a change of use of Consolidated Home Supply shares it acquired after 2006 and other water within the Home Supply Ditch from agricultural to municipal use through Water Court. This application would initiate the town’s third change of use case based upon a ditch-wide analysis completed in 1997. In order to have standing in a Water Court case, the District must file a Statement of Opposition. As an objector, the District can monitor and enter into the case as needed to protect the District’s ability to change the use of its Consolidated Home Supply shares and other Big and Little Thompson water rights. Water Resources Manager, Nancy Koch, recommended the Board approve the District filing a Statement of Opposition to Johnstown’s Water Court application 20CW3011. Following discussion, it was moved by Director McMurtrey, seconded by Director Martens, to support Ms. Koch in opposing the Johnstown Consolidated Home Supply Change Case. Motion carried unanimously.

Public Hearing: Action Item: Motion to Approve Resolution No. 2020-8 Exclusion: It was moved by Director Brandt, seconded by Director Bukowski, to approve Resolution 2020-8, Exclusion (Hulson Properties LLC Parcel 106103435001). Motion carried unanimously.

Staff: Amber Kauffman, District Manager

Subject: Carter Lake Filter Plant (CLFP) Staff Recommendation: Informational only

Discussion: No CLFP packet was available at the time of the preparation of the Board packet. The construction for the 7 MG tank and required yard piping is progressing. Stan, Rick, Josh and I met with Brad Wind and Jerry Gibbens, General Manager and Operations Manager respectively, of Northern Colorado Water Conservancy District (Northern) on March 2 to discuss operations of the raw water delivery to Carter Lake Filter Plant during annual maintenance and shut down of the Saint Vrain Supply Canal. Northern has a better understanding of our supply options and will evaluate two options for the future, replacing the “high pressure line” with a new, larger waterline and a potential new connection to the flume at the upstream end of their canal system. Both options would allow CLFP to stay in service during a canal shutdown but would require the review/approval of the Bureau of Reclamation.

Agenda Item Summary Little Thompson Water District

Date: March 12, 2020 Item: 6.5

Staff: Amber Kauffman, District Manager

Subject: Prohibition of the Wasting of Water and Voluntary Outside Watering Schedule Staff Recommendation: Staff Recommends a motion to approve Resolution 2020-11.

Discussion: Both topics are related to water conservation and were therefore included in one resolution. An explanation of the purpose of both topics is below. In order for Little Thompson Water District to be more successful in attaining grants and loans in the future it is important for the District to move in a path in line with the Colorado Water Plan. The Colorado Water Plan is currently being updated but one of the goals of the plan is “honoring Colorado’s water values and ensuring that our state’s most valuable resource is protected and available for generations to come.” This means ensuring beneficial use of the water Colorado has, i.e. using water on farms, in homes, and on lawns instead of sending the water down the storm sewers or watering while weather conditions result in ineffective watering. Many times flows out of Carter Lake Filter Plant peak on one day of the year. This peak causes stress on the treatment plant and the transmission facilities. If Central Weld County Water District (CWCWD) and Little Thompson Water District can alter watering days, voluntarily, there is opportunity to extend the capacity of our facilities by spreading the peak demands over two days. The following resolution is intended to show a specific decision by the Board to achieve this balancing of peak demands without requiring the customers to comply.

Staff: Amber Kauffman, District Manager

Subject: District Manager’s Report.

Managers Meeting A manager’s meeting was scheduled with Rick and Stan for March 4 but had to be cancelled due to Stan being sick. We are looking for a date to reschedule. Loveland IGA The Loveland Utility Board approved the IGA on Wednesday February 19 and sent it to the City Council with the recommendation for approval. The IGA will be on the Council Agenda in April. Loveland and LTWD will host open houses for the communities impacted by the change in billing agency. We are targeting March 26 and 31 for those open houses to be hosted in the Campion area. Utility Roundtable I was invited to participate on a utility roundtable of water providers across the state to discuss the largest challenges water providers face; whether there are any policies/laws/other gaps or hurdles we routinely have; and to discuss innovative solutions. The result was confirmation that LTWD is one of the most difficult utilities to manage for purposes of land planning, raw water inventory, and development type relationships. Consistent challenges for water providers were:

• Water scarcity and a longer reach was required to secure additional water resources. • Water quality for treatment. • Undefined future uses for commercial or industrial zoned parcels. • Realistic population projections. • Ensuring long term maximum water use on each parcel – not increased water use for

landscaping. Some interesting solutions others had used (some appropriate for use in LTWD and some not):

• Surcharges for use over what was allocated (similar to our Urban tap). • Reimbursement agreements for tap fees when developments meet water conservation goals. • Having a developer’s roundtable for review of policies that affect development and landscape

planning design such as reducing or eliminating irrigated bluegrass requirements. • Requiring qualified landscape contractors be used on irrigation installation.

Rules and Regulations Updates Staff have been working hard on updating Section 3 of our Rules and Regulations regarding Taps and plan on having the updated Section to the Board in April for review. Annual Tri-City & Districts Water Board Meeting Mark your calendar for the Annual Try-City & Districts event hosted by the City of Fort Collins on Thursday, May 28, from 5:00 to 8:30 p.m. at the Lincoln Center (Columbine Room). May Board Meeting We need a volunteer to run the meeting as Bill will not be in attendance. Suggest either Ed or Larry due to the elections.
