Authority Staffing and
Reorganization
 Retirement/resignation of two staff.

 Northglenn and Westminster would like the Authority to
be more autonomous.
 Staff will no longer be Northglenn employees.
 Hiring 2 full-time and 1 part-time employees.
 General Manager
 Ditch Superintendent
 Secretary.
 Staff will run the ditch separate from the Cities.
 City staff will continue to sit on the Authority board.
2015 Run Season Operations
 Authority is very short staffed.
 New staff is not anticipated to be hired and working
until July 2015.
 City of Northglenn will provide a few staff to help
when needed.
 Authority will contract with Farmers Highline Canal
and Reservoir company to help with 2015 run season.
Delivery Process
 Unique conditions in 2014 pointed out ineffiencies in
delivering water to inch-holders.
 Too much water going down Dry Creek Valley Ditch means
more water is available to inch-holders.
 Developed a new delivery spreadsheet to help determine
pro-rata share for each inch-holder based on:
 Diversion from Clear Creek.
 Number of inches calling for water.
 Inch-holders who have not called for water, will not have
their gate unlocked.
 Water will be distributed to all calling inch-holders based
on the pro-rata share available.
 Laterals/headgates that do not have adequate measuring
devices will need to be replaced.
Reminders
 Assessments are due by April 1, 2015.
 Please call or e-mail to request your water. We will not
open your gate without a formal request.
 Please make sure that your flume and laterals are
cleaned prior to April 1, 2015 in preparation of water
deliveries.
 We cannot deliver water to a headgate that cannot
measure it’s deliveries. Please maintain these structures.
 The website will be updated frequently with updates
on projects and with important information.
