Yes, we’re interested in these water rights being transferred to COB and can use that transfer as
consideration in meeting the CILWR obligation for the project as it moves through platting. I can’t
tell you at this time what the value of the consideration will be as it will be negotiated based on how
much water is actually transferred. I’d prefer for the water rights transfer to be written into the
annexation agreement so it becomes a contractual obligation thus preventing Baxter Ranch from
severing the water from the land for them to hold as a separate asset.
Are you working for Baxter Ranch/Anderson or a separate entity? If the latter, I would encourage
you to have the buyer drive hard on obtaining the appurtenant portion of these rights when the
ownership changes hands and not allow Baxter Ranch to sever the water from the land.

Brian,
We are starting to work on the property described below. We met with Shawn K. and
Griffin N. in regards to some general infrastructure questions today. The topic of cash-in-lieu of water rights came up. They suggested we pass the water rights that are associated
with the property (see the attachments) along to see if these would be something the Citycould use?
Thank you,
Matt
