The Board has had inquiries concerning the possibilities of in- clusion from owners of property located as far East as the Valley Highway and South into Douglas County, as well as West of Broadwqo The uniform answer given to all such persons has been that until the City Council of Englewood permits an extension of the service area, the District cannot consider the inclusion of lands lying outside of the presently defined service area. Our District expansion is limited by, .first, the available i.,->ater supply allocated to the District by the City; secon1ly, by the capacity of the District storage and distribu- tion facilities; and thirdly, by the general best interests of the electors of the Districto The first factor 11 water, is solely within the control of the City0 The second factor, engineering, is within the joint. control of the City and · the Districto Tbs third matter of "best interests" is one of Dist.rict policy. It should be observed that the District is always interested in increasing its tax base in order that the cost of the District diistribution .facilities may be more rapid1y liquidated,, and fran this standpoim, expansion is desirable, subject always to the overriding considerations of water supply and engineeringo The Board of Directors of the District has consistently sought to formulate policies which are in accord with the policies adopted by the City of Englewood Water Board and the City Council, to the end that the nmtual problems of the City and the District could be solved in a cooperative and friendly manner 0 The Board has appre .. ciated the cooperation given it by the City Water Board and the City Council in the past, and we anticipate a continuation of this friendly relationship in the future .~ If there ~ further questions concerning the particular matter being discussed, I would be pleased to furnish whatever other. inf."or- mation you may desireo RBL;br" Very truly yours, /s/ Robert B~ Lee -.~ Q At the request of' Mr. Shivers, Can~tant 1 the Board agreed to postpone discussion of the W~ Wo Wheeler report relating tO the proposed storage reservoir damsite until the next meeting of the Water and Sewer Boardo .. -- Mr. Scott, MayorD presented a cop;y of the following letter from Mro Ao No W:U11ams, Mayor of the City of' Littleton, member of the Tri...City Trust, to Mro Ingmar OJ.sent Mr a Ingmar Olsen~ Route #l., Box 166C Littleton, Colorado Dear Mro Olsen "12 June 195 9 ·.
