The board also reviewed
applications for the Public
Works position and inter-
views were to be held Monday
'following the meeting.
Drainage problems in
Shawn Lea were on the agen-
da and property owners
along Montana Way were in-
vited to the meeting to dis-
cuss possible solutions, both
short term and long term.
Only one. Lorna Rich. at-
tended the meeting but
agreed the drainage is not
working the way it should.
One solution discussed was
curb and gutter, which
would be an expense in-
curred by the property
owner. Rich said she feels the
expense would benefit her,
regardless of the fact she
would have to pay for the
improvements.
Dale Williams approached
the board about the pos-
sibility of purchasing town
property which currently
houses the town main-
tenance shop. He would not
want to take possession until
it is vacated and plans to
build a residence on the site
eventually. Mayor Mary
Helen deKoevend suggested
Williams return to the next
meeting after everyone has
had a chance to look at his
proposal from all angles. She
also noted that Pat Rlchards
has expressed an interest in
purchasing some town
property and the mayor
believes it Is the same
property Williams is talking
about.
The town has checked with
Montrose County Planning
and Zoning Commission
about the possibility of either
the mayor or a board member
serving as the town's repre-
sentative on the county P&Z
board. The county said there
was no problem with either
one serving in that capacity.
Jess Fulbrlght reported on
meeting with the forest ser-
vice concerning public land
use. He said a couple of
movements were underfoot
to prohibit unrestricted
travel and camping outside
specified campground areas
which were squelched. He
said the group will study dif-
ferent sections of the Uncom-
pahgre at different times in
order to address the issues in
specific sections one at a
time. That way perhaps more
public input can be received
concerning needs for keeping
some roads open, closing
others, and related issues,
Public Works supervisor
Carl Pender reported that the
water treatment plant is run-
nlngwell but the monitors for
turbidity and for chlorine are
not hooked up to the dialer.
He plans to contact Huston
Enterprises about getting
those systems hooked into
the dialer so ffthere is a prob-
lem. the plant will be shut
down automatically and
Public Works wlll be notified
by telephone.
Marshal Richard DeWeber
suggested posting signs at
the town parks noting the
state statute prohibiting el-

Dale Williams made
another proposal to the town
board, this one concerning
park benches with advertis-
ing in various areas around

him to meet with Parks Com-
missioner Paul Koski to in-
vestigate possible locations
and to bring a formal agree-
ment to the next board meet-

Norwood Loan...
continued from page 1
87500 for the preparation of
a feasibility study for the con-
struction of the raw water
reservoir. Ordinance #1010
was brought up before the
Board. This ordinance is for
the approval to borrow the
funding from the Colorado
Water Conservation Board to
build the 30 million gallon
reservoir. The loan would be
in the amount of 8580.000
and would be paid back
through the water users
fee's. At the present time
there are 540 active water
ta s in the system. The reset-
volr ts needed to provide
storage through the winter
months and to prevent
shortages like the one this
summer. This reservoir
would also provide enough
storage so that expansion of
the water system could"
begin. If all the paper work is
met this year. construction
on the reservoir could begin
next summer, and provide
water by 1996.
The vacancy on the board
was filled with the appoint-
ment of Chris Romaine as
trustee.
