1956, by the Corps of Engineers, U. S. Army, relative to a proposed Federal
Dam and Reservoir on Parleys Creek for the control of floods and for
domestic water supply'

$6,000,000 and the project benefits at about $330,000 per year, of which
60% are flood control benefits 40% are water supply benefits}
WHEREAS, the Corps of Engineers has tentatively allocated 50% of
the project cost to flood control ( a responsibility of the Federal Govern-
ment) and 50% to domestic water supply (a responsibility of the local
interests);
WHEREAS, the Corps of Engineers has requested assurances that the
amount allocated to water supply will be repaid to the Federal Government,
and,
WHEREAS, Salt Lake City is in urgent need of flood control and
additional water supply.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Board of Commissioners of
Salt Lake City strongly support authorization and early construction of the
Parley's Creek Dam and Reservoir for flood control and water supply, as
proposed by the Corps of engineers.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Board of Commissioners hereby
furnish the Corps of Engineers the requested assurances to the effect it
will enter into a contract with the Federal Government for its fair and
equitable share of the project cost allocated to water supply, and for the
maintenance and operation of the project by Salt Lake City; such contract
to provide, preferably, for uniform annual payments by Salt Lake City to
the Government, over a 50 year period, covering both the principal and
interest at Federal rates on the unpaid balance, and,

Congress, the Corps of Engineers be, and hereby is, requested to review the
allocation of project cost presented at the hearing of 14 August, 1956,
with a view toward dividing such cost more nearly in accord with the 60-40
division of flood control and water supply benefits, respectively, to be
created by the project, in lieu of the 50-50 division of project cost as
proposed at the public hearing.
