Under current law, the board of directors of an irrigation district may only enter into a contract to commit payments in excess of $500,000 if the contract is first ratified at a general or special election. This bill permits a board of directors to enter into any obligation or contract to borrow money, which the irrigation district may use to issue loans to landowners to make improvements to private water delivery systems, or for other types of projects that improve water delivery, drainage, conservation, or efficiencies on landowner property. The board may not assess district land in order to raise money to issue the loans; however, the board may use other sources of money to issue loans. The irrigation districtâs annual appropriation resolution to county commissioners must include the amounts needed to meet loan obligations and the amounts payable by landowners to the irrigation district. When assessing land within an irrigation district, the bill requires that the county assessor apply the information in the annual appropriation resolution concerning loans to landowners and assess the additional amount payable for each tract for which the landowner has received a loan. 12:15:31 PM Representative Roberts, bill co-prime, made opening comments on the bill. 12:15:50 PM The bill sponsors responded to questions from the committee. 12:16:10 PM Mr. Max Schmidt, representing Orchard Mesa Irrigation District, testified in support of the bill.
