by the Salt Lake City Council that the following policy considerations

convenience of those involved, that an election be held for the
approval of the Supplemental Repayment Contract between the United
States Government and the Central Utah Water Conservancy District for
the issuance of additional obligation for the Central Utah Project.
3. The Salt Lake City Council also recommends that a Blue
Ribbon Committee be appointed either at the state level or by the
Mayor of Salt Lake City to study Salt Lake City's involvement in the
Central Utah Project and the state-wide impact of said project on cost
effectiveness and the delivery of municipal and industrial water.
4. The Salt Lake City Council requests that the Salt Lake City
Metropolitan Water District not submit the petition for the 20,000 acre
feet of water from the Bonneville Unit of the Central Utah Project to
the Central Utah Water Conservancy District until the election on the
repayment contract is held and the study of the Central Utah Project
and Salt Lake City's involvement therein has been completed.
