CWC Board, Meeting Update, CWC Annual Workshops, Forums & Events CWC Board Actions on 2018 Ballot Items At their September 26 meeting, the Colorado Water Congress Board voted on the organization's stance on the following 2018 ballot action items: Proposition 112, Setback Requirement for Oil and Gas Development: the CWC Board voted to oppose due to the potential loss of severance tax and the negative impact on water project loan funds. Amendment 74, Just Compensation for Reduction in Fair Market Value by Government Law or Regulation: the CWC Board voted to oppose because the language is too broad and because it is a Constitutional Amendment. Amendment Y, Congressional Redistricting: the CWC Board voted to support. Amendment Z, Legislative Redistricting: the CWC Board voted to support.
