Show I. Preface Article VIII (d) (13) of the Upper Colorado River Basin Compact requires the Upper Colorado River Commission to "make and transmit annually to the Governors of the signatory States and the President of the United States of America, with the estimated budget, a report covering the activities of the Commission for the preceding water year." Article VIII (1) of the By-Laws of the Commission specify that "the Commission shall make and transmit annually on or before April 1 to the Governors of the states signatory to the Upper Colorado River Basin Compact and to the President of the United States a report covering the activities of the Commission for the water year ending the preceding September 30." This Tenth Annual Report of the Upper Colorado River Commission has been compiled pursuant to the above directives with one exception. That exception being that we have included the period beyond September 30, 1958 to December 31, 1958 in this report in conformity with the practice of previous years when the reports have included periods as late as March of the year following "the previous September 30" of the Compact requirement. Our objective for future reports will be to conclude the report as of September 30 of the previous water year as stipulated in both the Compact and the By-Laws and to compile it during the period between October 1 and December 31 in order to avoid the pressure of events that follow immediately after the first of each year. This Annual Report includes, among other things, the following: Membership of the Commission, its Committees, Advisers, and staff; Roster of meetings of the Commission; Brief discussion of the activities of the Commission; Brief discussion of the Storage Units and participating projects and of the status of their construction or investigations; Appendices containing: Fiscal data, such as: budget, balance sheet, statements of revenue and expense, etc; List of construction contract awards for Units and projects of the Colorado River Storage Project; 9 |
