one of the regional planning meetings so that some of this money could be used for this type study. The Committee turned us down. I sought funding elsewhere. I contacted the Texas Water Development Board and they said that no grants were available for these studies, but they could conduct the study if we wanted one done. The price for the study was estimated to be $14,500.00 depending on the actual size of the lake as determined by the study. Last fall, the TWDB contacted me and said that they had found a program (Public Law 101-540, Section 319 and Public Law 93-251, Section 22) whereby we could save some money in doing the study. Working with the assistance of the Corps of Engineers, the TWDB would conduct the study for $8,300.00 +/- as above. I contacted the TWDB and the Corps of Engineers and they have sent us the paperwork to get this study initiated. If it is approved by the Council, I expect the study to be completed before summer. In this years budget, $25,000.00 has been allocated for "Lake Crook Special Project". While this money was to be used to replace some more of the concrete panels on the face of the dam, I think it would be appropriate to use a portion of it to do this study and to take advantage of the assistance offered by the Corps of Engineers.
