Dear Mayor ^t1d8rsoo:
The City of 'vVhcat Ridge hus reqUl~sted that th,-, Urban Drainage
aod flood Control District, during 1:J 73, cor-Juet Cl coo;Jerative study
to develop a master drainage plan for LeOil Gulch. The ;sluJy vvould
iovolve the jurisdictions of Golden, Lakewood aod Jdferson Couoty
in additioo to\J'lheat Ridge.
To this date, ooly Jefferson County hile; indicated they \\ill
also participate in the study. Letters have or will be sent to Lakevvood
and Golden requesting their cooperatioo in the study. I think Lakewood
will participate but I am not too certain about Golden. However, I
am optimistic about getting the study underwuy duriog 1973.
Y,[e estil1ate that the toted costs, includiog engineering and
mapping, for Lenil Gulch willD':' Clbout $35,200. If all other jurL;-
dictions participate finaociully, Wheat Ridg2' s share \"ouid b2
$3,ClOO. This umOJnt might be incrcdscd, how:"ver, if Lukcwood
Clnd/or Gold8n do not wish to PMtlcLJale froc;1 a fiounci,ll 00int of
, ,
view. The study as nmv visucdi;:ed, "vouia ioclude the 9.8 miles
of Lena Gulch as indicated io red on the ,'"\ttached map. As with other
drainage studies, the Uruao DrClioClge Dlstrict will plo"lde the n8cessClry

is estirnatod to be $10 500. vVheat Hidge' s slnre is estimated to ;-J8
from $1,500 to $2,000. As with other projects, the Dl,;trictwould
provide the necessary mapping and share Of18-half of the englneerillg
costs with the local jurisdictlons.
I will keep you adivsed as to the progress of securing the
cooperation of Lakewood and Golden regarding the Lena Gulch project.

potential drainage studles, ple:J.se contact me.
