P.O.

I am in receipt of your letter of Novembe 4, 1991 nd a a

result of th t and the meet nq we had in Bob Hessler' off ce on

November 1, I am re- tating GASP•s possitio . I am wil ing to

t · ke to the board a propos 1 that h s the follow'ng provi ons. 1. GASP to provide augment tion for pumping not to exceed

700 AF.

2. GASP to pay the assessment for the seven GASP unit created.

3. GASP to receive the right~ to 17 1/2 ~hare~ of schneide trans er water equalling 6 2/3 cfs.

4. You will pay 11 ditch a se~~men s a ociated witl #3

above.

5. All terms are ren ~ ble annually.

You indicated in prev·ous conversations that tl 17 1/2 share

of water will deliver 733 AF/y ar. Plea e be advised tha I

believe this number ref cts a gross q1 ntity and hat a true consumptive use amount of that delivery i probably on y about

300 to 400 acre feet. The only way to q t tru de e mina , on

would b to hav an engineering evaluation done nd get

water court to agre by handing down a deer e. Thi is th

proc ss you would, in all likelihood, go through if you cho o

pursue an alternate point of dive sion

I believe that the board o directors would b . receptiv . o

provision 1-5 abov . I do not b li ~ v th the bo d s w llinn

to al o provide payn1ent of ditch a . e. ~ment as you would hav . them do. I h efore believe this to b wha yo terme "best offer".

I hope that you further understand that GASP has no obligation to make his proposal. we would consider this arrangement to break even. we are not in any way trying to gain an advantage in this situation. If no arrangement is made, we still break even. We are propo ing this only a a means of good water management, nothin more. If this agreement works for you .. then we s1ggest you pursue it. If it does not, then that too, is O.K. with GASP.

our next board meeting is to be December 2: 1991. If you have made a decision by then, please let me know so that I can take

it to the board of directors and finalize this matter. Thalk you for your diligence and interest.

We do not believe our offer to be excessive in light of the fact

GASP pays other parties, $5.00 +per acre foot leased. On the other

h nd, th of e . Odor made to us of abo t $2.00 per acre foot,

creates a great inequity.

Ou 1 ns are to attend the next meeting of GASP in Ja u y a d

will be willing to a swe any questions pertaining to this letter.

You lo g1tfu cons deration will be greatly appreciated and

your decision espected.

You s truely;

2. GASP will p y fcJr the asses~ment of said 700 AF of ugmentation.

3. GASP will receive all rights to your ditch water or augmentation uAe.

4. You will continue to Pay the assessment 01 your di ch

water.

5. This agreement is renewable annually by mutual consent. It is my understaz diner hat there mav be Rome confusion. as

to point 4 above. I r .qret th~t confusion may exist, howev r I

cannot support this acrreem .... n t if GA.Sf' ·~k v~:: ·or bo .1 he

80701 Dear Jack:

I cant nue to be a little confused about how values of water are placed and stated as per consumptive use and other

numbers. also remain somewhat concerned about what was said at our original meeting several months ago when my son Perry and I visited with you.

What I would like you to do is to make a proposal in writing to me that would be consistent with other water purchases you have made in the past and tell me exactly what the Schneider w ter is worth to you and your system and outline your best proposal. As you remember, you have always offered at east seven units of GASP in exchange, but I continue to feel this water has additional value above what your offer has been in recent conversations.

We are all concerned about the past communications as to what was sa·d and not said, but it is time that I know what your best offer is so that I may make the best decision for us in the process.

Kindest regards and we w"ll be awaiting your proposal.

Sincerely,

-#.:tU~~
