ITEMS FROM THE
FINANCE
DIRECTOR
Financial Report: Mr. Campbell presented the financial report as of
December 31, 2014 and November 30, 2014 as they relate, including the cash
position report, the cash encumbrance report, the work order status update,
and the capital costs summary broken out by project.
Director Seaworth was concerned with the Balance Sheet as it relates to all
the projects and allocated sums. He provided a handout to the Board
showing what he believes Boxelder Authority has paid. He requested the
Balance Sheet show the specific projects and the amounts spent towards
those specific projects. Director Seaworth stated that he is concerned there is
money that has not been correctly allocated to projects. Director Seaworth
wanted to know why Wellington has paid more than 30% of the fees.
Director Sampley asked management to prepare the summary of money spent
to date by the Authority. Director Sampley stated that as for what Wellington
3 3
RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS

BBRSA Minutes 12 10 14
has paid for already, there is nothing in the Agreement that specifically states
the original percentage split by the three entities has to be maintained.
Mark Peterson, Larimer County Engineer, addressed the Board regarding the
Agreement and stated that he believed the agreement outlined the estimated
percentage each entity would contribute toward the local match that was
needed for the PDM Grant. These percentages were Larimer County 50%,
Wellington 30% and Fort Collins 20%. After further assessment of the
impervious area in each entity these percentages changed to Larimer County
40%, Wellington 30%, and Fort Collins 30%. Due to the impact of
development, the percentages paid by each entity will vary from these initial
percentages.
Approval of Payables: Mr. Campbell reported that due to the early meeting
this month the Board will consider approval of the December payables at the
January meeting. Mr. Campbell noted the payables are within the scope of
the usual monthly operating costs. The Board tabled the approval of
payables for further review until the Work Session on January 6, 2014.

ITEMS FROM
AUTHORITY
MANAGER
AUTHORITY MANAGER’S REPORT
Mr. Myers presented the Manager’s Report.
Larimer Weld Canal Crossing Structure (LWCCS): Greg White has had
discussions with Butch Sommermeyer of the Larimer and Weld Canal
Company. He is no longer asking for a structure check or compensation for
the proposed improvements. Mr. White will provide an update to the Board
and a draft agreement for review later in the meeting. Greg White has
completed draft agreements for the adjacent properties (Norm Karasa and
Roger McConnell). Manager Myers will begin to coordinate execution of
these agreements with the property owners in the next few weeks. There has
been no further response from the City of Thornton on the Authority’s stance
on work on their property.
Lake Canal Reservoir Agreement: Greg White and Manager Myers have
continued to work with Brent Bartlett, the new legal counsel for the Lake
Canal and Reservoir Company (LCRC) to finalize the agreement. A final
version of this agreement will be reviewed with the Authority Board in
Executive Session.
AT&T Cable Relocation: Manager Myers contacted Tom Jakse of Clearwater
Consulting who is managing this project for AT&T and Robert Williamson
who is the Senior Project Manager for AT&T. Mr. Williamson conveyed
that bids have been completed and the contractor has been awarded work and
that “the bids are confidential between AT&T and the bidders.” Work is

likely to start after the first of the year.
North Poudre Inlet Canal Tree Stump: Manager Myers presented a more
complete specification for this work to Chad Uthmann, which resulted in an
increase to the cost. After further discussion Chad agreed to compact the clay
material that he is providing to fill in the hole left by the stump removal and
seed the area. Chad is planning to move forward with removal of the tree
stump during the week of December 1st.
Mountain Vista Golf Course Coordination: Manager Myers and Greg White
have prepared a letter summarizing the discussions to date with the O’Dell’s
and their legal counsel, Tim Goddard. The letter and attachments will be
reviewed with the Board in Executive Session.
Discussions with Doug Johnson: Manager Myers has reinitiated discussion
with Mr. Johnson, on the final configuration of the flowage easement and
land acquisition required for the ESDF outlet and energy dissipation
structure. Manager Myers will provide an update on this issue to the Board
in Executive Session.
Information Request from the Town of Wellington: On November 24th
Brad
March of the Town of Wellington met with Manager Myers, Greg White and
Brendan Campbell of Pinnacle regarding information requested by Mr.

request.
Status of ESDF Land Acquisitions: Manager Myers and Malcolm Murray
intend to provide and update on the Boxberger, Day and the Day recreational
(partnership) parcels in Executive Session.
2015 Meeting Schedule: Manager Myers proposed for 2015 that regular
meetings still be held on the fourth Wednesday of every month except for the
November and December meetings in which case should be held on the
second Wednesday to avoid any conflicts with the holidays. The Board did
not see an issue with this and agreed the last two meetings for 2015 will be
held on the second Wednesday to avoid any conflicts.

CONSULTANT
REPORTS
ENGINEER’S REPORT
Ms. Faucett presented the Engineer’s report.
On-Going Work
Middle Basin/Larimer and Weld Canal Crossing Structure (LWCCS): Ms.
Faucett reported that based on the final hydraulic modeling, which was done
for the CLOMR submittal, the weir length and slope slightly on the side spill
weir were revised. In addition, Ms. Faucett spoke with Butch Sommermeyer
regarding the proposed spills. Butch had requested that we spill all of the
5 5
RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS

Boxelder Basin Regional Stormwater Authority
BBRSA Minutes 12 10 14
Boxelder Creek flows at this location even if it exceeded the existing
condition spill. Ms. Faucett informed him that could not legally be done
because it would cause a rise on an insurable structure downstream. An
exhibit for Butch was prepared, which showed the existing vs. proposed
project spills at the weir location and are within 10 cfs of the existing spill,
which is as close as it can come. Ms. Faucett attached the exhibit to her
report for the Board’s reference.
Ms. Faucett will continue to follow up with Xcel about the power poles. Ms.
Faucett has been in contact with Xcel about the power pole modifications but
they are currently swamped and have stated it may not be until after the first
of the year before they can respond to the application to modify 4 power
poles that are impacted by the ditch bank lowering. Ms. Faucett will
continue to keep this in the monthly report until it has been addressed. As
noted last month Ms. Faucett believes the weir construction was within the
prescriptive easement for the L&W canal since this is considered a
maintenance project. Manager Myers has informed City of Thornton of this.
ESDF
Final Design Report: Ms. Faucett reported that the Final Design Report,
Technical Specs., design drawings, application and application fee was
submitted to the State Engineer for their review and comment. Ms. Faucett
will continue to keep this in the monthly report until a response has been
received from the State Engineer.
Ayres is revising the roadside drainage design for CR 50 to account for the
future pavement section. Ms. Faucett will submit the revised design to
Larimer County for their review and approval once it is complete.
Spillway Design: Ms. Faucett prepared a new exhibit for Manager Myers
showing the revised right of way required for the primary spillway and
energy dissipation pool, along with the flowage easement needed for the
State Engineer requirements. Manager Myers is working with Mr. Johnson
on acquiring the necessary easements.
404 Permit Application: Ms. Faucett received an email on the 404 permit
stating they are just waiting on the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO)
to concur that there are no impacts. The public comment period has ended
and there were no substantive comments received. Ms. Faucett attached the
email to her report for the Board’s reference.
CLOMR: Ms. Faucett stated that the CLOMR was submitted to the City of
Fort Collins on Wednesday November 29th. The current schedule is to
submit the CLOMR to the Larimer County Flood Review Board on
6 6
RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS

BBRSA Minutes 12 10 14
December 10th. The goal is to submit the CLOMR to FEMA on or before
December 31st because after the 31st the CLOMR/LOMR review contract
may no longer be held by Michael-Baker, whom Ayres has worked with
during the past 7 years. There is budget remaining to address comments
received from the City of Fort Collins, Larimer County and FEMA.
Peer Review of ESDF: Ms. Faucett reported that the Final Design Report,
Technical Specs., and Design Drawings were submitted to Duane Smith of
Smith Geotechnical so he can begin his peer review. Ms. Faucett will
continue to report on this in the coming months.
Next Steps for ESDF
County Road 52 Design: Ms. Faucett reported that she is continuing to
support Manager Myers with his efforts regarding the golf course
negotiations and have provided several exhibits for his use. Until an
agreement is reached she is assuming this will be an on-going effort.
Design Budgets: Ms. Faucett reported that she has submitted the work order
accounting spread sheet which includes this month’s invoices. Based on the
current level of design and where the budgets are currently, she feels the
design effort is in good shape in terms of budget tracking. Ms. Faucett will
know more once she receives comments back from the SEO on the design,
but she has left some budget to address those comments along with
comments from Duane Smith.

ENGINEER’S REPORT
January 28, 2015
ON-GOING WORK: Middle Basin or Larimer and Weld Canal Crossing Structure (LWCCS): Xcel has not completed their review of the power poles being impacted by the side spill weir as yet, but they have stated they will begin looking at the design drawings we have sent. This is at least some progress, and I will continue to keep the board posted. ESDF: Final Design Report: I received an email from Jeremy Franz (State Engineer) regarding his review of our Final Design submittal which included the Final Design Report, Technical Specs., design drawings, application and application fee. Jeremy stated that he is about 25% done with his review with no major comments yet. He feels he will complete his review by the middle of February. This should give us plenty of time to address any comments and obtain our permit from the State prior to the June construction date. 404 Permit Application: The State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) has concurred with our report stating there are no significant impacts to historic features with the construction of ESDF. Matt Montgomery with the Corps of Engineers has said our permit will be approved and issued sometime this month, which is well ahead on our June construction date.

CLOMR: City of Fort Collins: The CLOMR was submitted to the City of Fort Collins on Wednesday November 29th, and we received review comments from the City on December 29th. We are working through the City of Fort Collins comments now and plan to re-submit to the City of Fort Collins on or before February 6th. None of the City of Fort Collins comments were significant in nature. Larimer County: We submitted the CLOMR to the Larimer County Flood Review Board on December 10th. We met with the Larimer County Flood Review Board on January 6th and received their comments. One comment of significance from the Flood Review Board was their desire to have the ESDF outlet gauged and possibly tied into the City of Fort Collins Flood Early Warning System. They also requested that the Authority pay for Water and Earth Technologies (WET) to design a roadway overtopping warning sign/system for CR 52. They originally requested that the Authority construct enough box culverts under CR 52 to reduce the overtopping depths to current standards. The warning system was a compromise. I have contacted Markus Ritsch with WET to obtain a scope of work and fee estimate for designing both the downstream gauge at the outlet to ESDF and the warning system at CR 52. On January 12th Andrea attended the Larimer County Commissioners hearing on the Boxelder CLOMR. The CLOMR was approved by the Commissioners pending Ayres adequately addressing the flood review comments including the CR 52 concerns. FEMA: We submitted the CLOMR to FEMA on December 19th. We were notified that Michael-Baker has been assigned our case and have begun working with their reviewer. We have not received initial comments from them as yet, but would expect them before the February board meeting. We have budget remaining to address comments received from the City of Fort Collins, Larimer County and FEMA. Our goal is to finalize the CLOMR and gain approvals from the three entities by May 1st, 2015. Peer Review of ESDF: I contacted Duane Smith about his peer review of ESDF. He noted that although he had not begun, he will make it a priority, particularly since the State Engineer (Jeremy Franz) is making progress. I will continue to report on this in the coming months. Next Steps for ESDF: We were contacted by Don Ash who is the engineer hired by the Day family to review our design. We have sent them copies of the CLOMR, along with a jump drive which has all of our design drawings and other design data on it. We have not heard anything from them, since we sent them all of our design data. I will continue to report on this until it is resolved. County Road 50 Design: We are continuing to work with the County to resolve concerns related to the future CR 50 design and how it relates to the spillway construction. The County has reviewed Ayres design for the CR 50 drainage culvert sizes and placement and has approved that design. Our remaining issue is related to the future design of CR 50 and how that might impact the flowage easements, or the spillway design. We are meeting with the County on January 20th to discuss their future design for CR 50. Ayres will likely need to put this design into the 2-D hydraulic model they prepared for the spillway to determine if it changes any of the design components related to the spillway scour protection or the downstream flowage easement limits. I will continue to keep the board updated on this issue until it is resolved.
54 54
Design Budgets: Based on our current level of design and where we are with our budgets I feel the design effort is in good shape in terms of budget tracking. I will know more once we receive comments back from the SEO on our design, but I have left some budget to address those comments along with comments from Duane Smith.
