CITYOF BOULDER CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM MEETING DATE: Januarv 20.2009 AGENDA TITLE: Introduction, first reading and consideration of a motion to order published by title only an ordinance designating the building and a portion of the site at 1777 Brcadway Street, to be known also as the Municipal Building) as an individual landmark under the city of Boulder Historic Preservation Code. Applicant/Owner: city of Boulder PRESENTERS: Jane S. Brautigam, CityManager Stephanie A. Grainger, Deputy City Manager Ruth McHeyser, Executive Director of Community Planning Susan Richstone, Long Range Planning Manager ' James Hewat, Historic Preservation Planner Chris Meschuk, Historic Preservation Planner EXECUTIYE SUMMARY: The purpose of this item is to determine whether the proposed individual landmark designation of the building and aportion of the site at 1777 Broadway Street meets the purposes and standards ofthe historic preservation ordinance (Sections 9-1 1-1 and 9-l l-2, B.R.C. 1981), in balance with the goals and policies of the Boulder Valley Comprehensive Plan. If approved, this ordinance Attachment A) would designate the building and a portion (see of the property as an individual landmark. This designation was submitted by the City Manager's office, at the direction of the City Council. The hearing on this item on second reading will be held under the quasi-judicial procedures of the Boulder Revised Code. The Municipal Building was constructed in 1952 upon plans by James Hunter, an acknowledged Boulder architect. An addition at the rear of the building was constructed in 'W.agener. 7962, designed by Boulder architect Hobart D. The building is recognized for its International Style of architecture, with the addition being a local vanant of the Formalism Style, as well as its association with the development of Boulder and history of the municipality. See Attachment B for photographs of the building. The building is considered to be historically, architecturally, and environmentally significant according to criteria adopted by the Landmarks Board. On December 3, 2008 the Landmarks Board recoÍtmended approval (5-0) of the designation finding that designation of the g.l- AGENDA ITEM # JV PAGE # 1 building and property as an individual landmark is consistent with the purposes and standards of the historic preservation ordinance. RECOMMENDATION: Suggested Motion Language: Staff requests council consideration of this matter and action in the form of the following motion: Motion to introduce and order published by title only an ordinance designating the buildingandaportion of the site at 1777 Broadway Street, to be known also as the Municipal Building, as an individual landmark under the city of Boulder Historic Preservation Code. COMMUNITY SUSTAINABILITY ASSESSMENTS A¡ID IMPACTS : Economic: Studies indicate that historic preservation adds to economic vitality and tourism. Changes to the exteriors of individually landmarked buildings require a Landmark Alteration Certiftcate, issued by the Planning Department at no charge. This additional review process may add additional time and design expense to a project. Landmarked properties may be eligible for historic preservation grants including those offered by the Colorado Historical Society and National Trust for Historic Preservation. The city of Boulder has utilized these grants on numerous locations to aid in rehabilitation work. Environmental: Owners of individually landmarked buildings are encouraged to reuse and repair as much of the original building as possible when making exterior alterations, thereby reducing the amount of construction waste of building materials deposited in landfills. Social: The Historic Preservation Ordinance was adopted to ". ..enhance property values, stabilize neighborhoods, promote tourist trade and interest, and foster knowledge of the city's living heritage." 9-11-1 (a), B.R.C., 1981. The greater community benefits from the preservation of the community's character and documentation of Boulder's social and political history, of which the Municipal Building is an importantpart. OTHER IMPACTS: Fiscal: The designation of individual historic landmarks is an anticipated and ongoing function of the historic preservation program. Staff Time: This designation application is manageable within the staff work plan. LANDMARI(S BOARD ACTION: On December 3, 2008 the Landmarks Board voted 5-0 to reconìmend to City Council the designation of the building and aportion of the site at ll77 Broadv¡ay Street as a local historic landmark, finding that it meets the standards for individual landmark designations in ,.1 AGENDA ITEM F)\/ PAGE # 2 9-11-l and 9-1 I-2 of the Boulder Revised Code and is consistent with the criteria specified in 9-11-5(c) of the Boulder Revised Code. PUBLIC FEEDBACK: At the Landmarks Board hearing one member of the public spoke in favor of designating the building. One email was sent to the City Council and staff received one phone call both opposing the designation of the building. The comments stated that the building was not historic, should not be a landmark, and that a higher standard should be kept for landmarks. ANALYSIS: CODE CRITERIA Section 9-11-6(b), B.R.C. 1981 specifies that in its review of an application for local landmark designation, the council must consider "whether the designation meets the purposes and standards in Subsections 9-l l-l(a) and Section 9-11-2,"City Council May Designate or Atnend Landmarl¡s and Historic Districts," B.R.C. 1981, in balance with the goals and policies of the Boulder Valley Comprehensive Plan." The City Council shall approve by ordinance, modify and approve by ordinance, or disapprove the proposed designation. See Atlachment D for sections 9-11-1 and9-1l-2. BOUNDARY ANALYSIS The property proposed for designation includes the building, and the space between the building and the streets to the north and east, and the creek to the south. The western edge of the boundary extends approximately 80 feet west of the rear of the building, to what is currently the edge of the sidewalk near the parking lot. This boundary will maintain an appropriate setting for the building and ensure the immediate context of the building is maintained. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANCE To assist in the interpretation of the historic preservation ordinance, the Landmarks Board adopted an administrative regulation in7975 outlining signif,rcance criteria for Individual Landmarks. The cnteria are located in Attachment C. An evaluation of the property's signif,rcance in relation to the significance criteria is provided in Attachment B.

SIGNIFICAIICE: flistoric Signifïcance: Summary: The building at 1777 Broadway has historic significance under criteria .1, 2,3 and 4. 1. Date of construction: 195 I-I952; addition 1962 (source: Historic Building Inventory Records; Daily Camera clipping frles). 2. Association with historical persons or events: The Municipal Building is signif,rcant for its association with the history of local government in Boulder. At the time of its construction, the Municipal Building was the sixth structure to serve as offices for Boulder's municipal government. The Boulder Town Company, which was organizedin 1859, was not an offîcial government, and as such, didnotrequire an ofhcial center for govemmental operations. It wasn't until Novembet 4,1870 that the county commissioners granted a request to set aside the original townsite and three additions as the Town of Boulder. At f,rrst the trustees of the new town met in the offices of one of the trustees, Alpheus Wright. After the town was incorporated in 1878, the town board met in the offrce of A. J. Macky, and later in the off,rce of John A. Ellet. (Source: Carnegie Library "Municipal Building'clipping frles) The hrst town hall was established in 1880 on the ground floor of a block owned by John Ellet (1100 Pearl Street). It contained the offices of the attomey, clerk, water department and town board. One year Iatet, asite on 14th Street between Pearl and Walnut was bought by the city for a combination city hall and fire station. A two- story building at lg2l l4th Street was completed in 1.882, and remained as the city hall for the next 70 years. As early as 1890, though, the city was beginning to outgrow this site and purchased a lot at 13tn and Spruce for a new town hall. It was never built, however, and the lot sold in 1892. (Source: Carnegie library "Municipal Building" clipping f,rles) When the fire department was centralizedin 1898, its equipment was removed from city hall, and the former fire department quarters were converted into city offices. Although this helped the crowding for a short time, by 1903, the city was again advocating for a new city hall. A $50,000 bond for a new city hall was placed before the citizens in 1907 ,but was defeated by a vote of 457 to 403. The city hall was later expanded by renting the adjoining one-story building at 191.5 14"' Street. The three rooms in this addition housed the city council chamber and the offices of the city manager and director of public service. Hoping to take advantage of federal funds, another bond was brought before the voters ir-7933,but this was defeatedby 37 votes. (source: camegie library "Municipal Building" clipping frles) On Novemb er 6, 1945, a $225,000 bond for a new municipal building was finally passed, this time by an overwhelmingly supportive vote of I,217 to Ill. The building was to include the city hall, library and museum, and was to be constructed on the site between Boulder Creek and the railroad tracks, facing Broadway across from Central Park. The project funds were to be held in reserve for the economic depression which was expected to follow World War II. Instead, the prices of materials and labor rose, and the city finally began earnest plaruring for the new municipal building in 1950. Precipitating this was the factthatthe city had to vacate the one-story building it was renting at I9I5 14'n Street when it was sold. The city manageÍ,his staff, and the public sewice director were clowded back into the building at 7927 14th Street, forcing the police department into another city-owned building at 1763 Broadway. This was situated in a row of buildings which were purchased in 1948 to clear the site for the new city hall. The city council had to meet in a new location -- first atthe county commissioners' room, then the library of Central school -- until the new city hall was finished. (Source: Camegie Library "Municipal Building" clipping files) Figure 2: 1952 Dedication Ceremony. Courtesy the Carnegie Branch Library for Local History, Boulder, CO When the city council was forced to move in 1950, they reopened discussion of the new municipal building. By this time, the originally planned building would have cost between $350,000 to $400,000. The Boulder Historical Society agreed to have the proposed museum omitted if they could use the library building at 7125 Pine Street after the library moved to the new municipal building. Holever, after reducing the size of the library, the library board felt the proposed space was inadequate and requested that the library remain in its present location. When the f,rrst bids came in, further revisions were necessary in order to meet the construction budget. Extras, such as a basement andaproposed pistol range for the police department were also removed. The bids for the revised plans were finally awarded on AGENDA ITEM #\/I PAGE # 13 August 7,1951, and a ground-breaking ceremony was held on August 22,1951. The building was occupied on Iluly20,1952. (Source: CamegieLlbrary "Municipal Building" clipping files) Ír spite of the many'þenny-pinching" efforts that were necessary to bring the project into budget, the new Municipal Building was cause for much celebration in Boulder, and the building's design and features were well received. The Daily Camera article at the time of the building's opening noted that even though the plans had to be revised for economy's sake, the elegance of the building still remained. ". . . most of the refinements are still there - a plush council chømber and public lounge, a mainfoyer with walls of reddish travertine and elaborate lighting effects, alumínum stair rails and window casings, steel partitions for the ffices, tiled restrooms, modernfurnishings, and other marks of elegance without extravagance. On the outside, too, it is a dignified structure in a beautiful setting along Boulder Creekwith the Flatirons and the mountains as ø background. The architectural concretewhichforms most of the exterior walls sets off the natíve stone walls at the north and south ends and at the main entrance on the east, facíng Broadwøy. . . . Another strikingfeature is the two-story-high glass paneling at either síde of the concave main entrance and across the rear of the center section. . . "(Source: Carnegie Library "Municipal Building" clippingfiles) The architect for the building \ilas James M. Hunter and staff, and the general contractor was Jack H. Cys, who had offices both in Denver and Boulder. The 12,600 square foot building was 160 feet long, with two wings that were 37 feet wide. The south wing was 12 feet long, and the north wing 60 feet. The building had forty- two rooms, with a council chamber, public lounge, main foyer, city off,tces, and a city jail -- Boulder's first in 28 years. 10 inch aluminum letters of the "Municipal Building" were on the stone wall at the front entrance. This wall forrned a backdrop to the entrance teÍÍace, which was conceived as a place for city ceremonies. A 30'x 70' reflecting pool was also included in the original plans for the front lawn. In the dedicationpamphlet for the new building, CityManager Bert W. Johnson had the following words of encouragement to his staff and citizens: "Good morale brings a higher standard of workfrom each of us- The new Municipal Building provides a real boost in morøle not only to cíty employees, but to the city councí\, its fficial boards, and to all citizens of the community. Let us capitølize on thís new source of community pride. Let us dedicate ourselves to higher standards of all community enterprise. No one will begrudge us the use of this symbol as a turning point ín our municipal history. AGENDA ITEM #g W PAGE # 14 Such a standard wíll avoid penny-pinching extravagance. It should mean quality construction, whether it be streets, sewers, or recreation facilities. It should mean quality service, promptly and courteously provided in a direct and fficient manner. It should mean quality citízen participation in his city government - supporting it when it is right, or pitching in and helping if it is not right. Our new and magnificent Municipal Building should andwill inspíre each of us in Boulder toward even greater community øcltievement." (Sour ce : Carnegie Library " Municip al Building " clipping files) Although the city of Boulder could not afford all of the originally planned features in the Municipal Building, the idea of a "civic centef" was not abandoned. In 1961 James Hunter was again retained by the city to design a new Public Library at the southeast comer of 9tt' Street and Canyon Boulevard. This building served both as library and cultural center, containing an auditorium that could be used as an art gallery, two meeting rooms, a children's garden with amphitheater for plays, and music room, and large librarylooms. A Civic Mall was createdbetween the Municipal Building and the library. As the city's population continued to grow (from 20,000 in 1950 to 37,700 in 1960), there was an increasing demand for additional city services, which in turn required additional city employees and offices. In1962, the city issued a $185,000 bond to build an addition to the Municipal Building. Designed by Hobart Wagener, the new addition of sandstone was 69'x67'with an additional 12' wide connector. The second story of the addition contained the municipal court, attorney's offices, budget director, and personnel director, while the first floor had the city manager's office and accounting department. City Council chambers remained in the oigSnal1952 building. a J. Distinction in the development of the community of Boulder: The Municipal Building lies within the Boulder Original Townsite, established by the Boulder City Town Company on February 10, 1859. The Town Company consisted of 54 prospectors who had come to the areain search of gold. The downtown section of Boulder was the nucleus of the fledgling community, and its main thoroughfare, Pearl Street, led into Boulder Canyon and the mining camps. While this area grew into the commercial centet of Boulder, the rail lines, which were located just south of downtown along what is now Canyon Boulevard, became a natural dividing line for development. This, combined with the frequent flooding of Boulder Creek, made the area between the creek and the railroads an undesirable location. For a while, the aÍearteat the railroad depot near 9tl' Street between Canyon Boulevard and Boulder Creek was a red light district. Although swept away in the 1894 flood, the area was still "an eyesore lined with mills, factories and a shantytown." (Source: Corson & Noel, Boulder County: An Illustrated History) .'t.4 AGENDAITEM#WV PAGE# 15 Figure 3: "Tlte Jungle", from Broadway to 9'' St, between Boulder Creek and the railroad tracl<s. Courtesy the Carnegie Branch Líbraryfor Local History, Boulder, CO The selection of the town as the site for the state university, the establishment of Chautauqua, and a number of other factors signaled a change in Boulder's status from mining supply camp to an educational center and health-resort. Aware of the need to improve certain areas of "Boulder in health, gtowth, cleanliness, prosperity and attractiveness," the Boulder City Improvement Association was organized in 1903. One of their projects involved hiring landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted, Jr. in 1908, who later produced the 1910 booklet, "The Improvement of Boulder, Colorado: Report to the City Improvement Association." This far-reaching report had many recommendations, including ones for public buildings and the Boulder Creek area. As the principal waterway in Boulder, the area along Boulder Creek was obviously prone to frequent flooding. Olmsted felt that a park along the creek, in addition to providing a passive recreational area, would greatly help in times of flooding. In his 1910 report, he also conrmented that the existing anangements for the City Hall and other city offices were "makeshift, neither convenient nor by any means worthy of the community. It goes without saying thatit is desirable, within reasonable limits, to group together the main public buildings of a city, both as a matter of convenience and for the sake of appearance. . ." (Source: Olmsted, "The Improvement of Boulder, Colorado") Olmsted felt that the most logical sites for a civic center would be near the county courthouse, although land prices would probably prevent this from occurring. In 1910, the only block of land large enough to meet the city's needs and secured at a reasonable prices was towards Boulder Creek. However, he felt that"apart from the prejudice against a 1ow site and one which is now in such unattractive condition, this is objectionable because of its being separated from the business center of the town by the railroad." (Source: Olmsted, "The Improvement of Boulder, Colorado") Olmsted was brought back to Boulder nearly thirteen years later. When he found the creek still unimproved, he produced a report titled "Improvement of Boulder Creek" AGENDA ITEM #,3f PAGE # 16 in which he recommended that the city buy the land along the creek for a park as well as for a new city hall. Boulder began purchasing creek front property, and almost thirty years later, finally completed a city hall along Boulder Creek. 4. Recognition by authorities: The Municipal Building \Mas inventoried in 1995 by Front Range Research Associates, Inc. It was listed as significant as representing the work of a master; representin g a typte, period, or method of construction; and to be associated with signif,rcant events or patterns. The statement of signif,tcance noted "its association with the history of local govemment in Boulder, . . . âs an important representative of the International style in Boulder, . . . for its inelusion of University of Colorado style stonework . . fand representing] the work of Boulder architect James M.. Hunter. The accompanying survey report noted that the Municipal Building may be eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places when it reached fifty years of age. The Municipal Building was re-inventoried in 2000 as part of a Certified Local Government grant-funded study of Modern Architecture in Boulder. This inventory noted it to be one of James M. Hunter's "most important and high profrle commissions." (Source: Historic Building Inventory Records; "Boulder Survey of Historic Resources, 1995: Scattered Resources") The Municipal Building was recognized in the December 1953 issue of Proeressive Architecture. The magazine called attention to the curving stone wall at the entrance (then on the east side) - "an effort to gain the maximum monumentality with the minimum mass . . . to toy with the light across the jagged projections of the ledge- stone surface . . . to form a def,rnite termination to a vista from the park beyond." Several photographs of the building were included, and it had been singled out at the Conference of City Managers for seminar discussion, and was noted to be a dominant structure in the community. (See Attachment D: Historical Background Research) Architectural Significance : Summary: The building at 1777 Broadway has architectural significance under criteria 7,2,3, and4. 1. Recognized period/style: The Municipal Building was noted on the inventory forms as representative of the International Style in Boulder. Also, the 1962 rear addition is a local vaiant of the Formalism Style. Distinguishing elements of the Intemational Style are: horizontal orientation; absence of omamentation; use of concrete, glass, and steel materials; ribbon and corner windows with minimal exterior reveals (i.e., perceived as continuations of the wall surface); flat roofs; asymmetry with balance and regularity; anduse of the cantilever. Distinguishing elements of the Formalism Style are: vertical orientation; synmetry (formal arrangement); vertically linked, recessed windows; smooth wall surfaces; vertical piers; differentiation of base from 'Whiffen, shaft; and flat roofs without eaves. (Source: American Architecture Since 1780; Preservation Press, What Stvle is It?; "Historic Context and Survey of Modem Architecture in Boulder, Colorado : 1947 -1977") The Intemational Style came into being in Europe in the I920s, with its leading practitioners from Germany, Holland, and France. It debuted in the United States in 1928, and was an accepted style in the 1930s. It came somewhat under fire by critics AGENDA TTE.M#í PAGE # 77 in the late 1940s, but it still provided a set of principles under which some architects continued to practice. The 1952 Municipal Building is a late example of this style, adapted by James Hunter to reflect its Colorado origins. It has many of the distinguishing elements of the International Style, including the flat roof without eaves, horizontal orientation, ribbon windows, and lack of omametfation. Instead of ornamentation, the emphasis is on modem structural principles and materials-- concrete, glass, and aluminum. The surface is smooth, except for the central concave stone wall and north and south end walls. The stone work relates to the masoffy found on the University of Colorado campus and in other buildings throughout Boulder, although it was given an especially horizontal appearance here through the use of long, thin sandstone blocks. The volume of the central entry bay and wings is also emphasized, and although appearing symmetrical,the two wings are slightly different in size. Cantilevered concrete awnings provide protection over the north and south end wall entries. The 1962 addition to the rear forms a"T" shape, and is a simple rectangular addition. It has many elements of the Formalism Style. This style first appeared in this country in the 1950s, and was closely related to the International Style. It reintroduced classicism through its regular and symmetrical features. Although there is no distinguishing base to this addition, the roof edge is emphasizedby a recessed concrete panel coping, which relates to the concrete panels of the original portion. The stone wal1s also relate to the original building, but in the 1,962 addition, the stone blocks have less honzontal emphasis. Vertical emphasis is instead provided by the very tall, narrow recessed windows which are suffounded by concrete bands. The windows extend from the base of the floors to nearly ceiling height, and are regularly spaced along the north and south elevations of the rear addition. This addition is connected to the original portion of the Municipal Building by a recessed section of curtain window walls. 2. Architect or builder of prominence: The originall95l-52 portion of the Municipal Building was designed by James M. Hunter, and the 1962 addition by Hobart D. Wagener. James Hunter studied architectural engineering at Iowa State University from 1927 to 1931. He then transferred to the University of Illinois, and received his degree in 1936. He began his career as a draftsman with Ernest Stouffer, Supervising Architect at the University of lllinois. He came to Boulder to work as a head draftsman in the office of Glenn Huntington, as well as head draftsman for the University of Colorado. In 1940 he formed a partnership with Harold Jones. After serving in World'W.ar II, he returned to Boulder and started his own firm. Although his work extended through the state and in other states as well, the bulk of his practice was in Boulder where he could be close enough for full supervision. He felt "fhat an architect could function in a small community and could be an influencing and bettering force in the esthetic environment of that community." Hunter served as planner and architect for Colorado State University and Fort Lewis College in Durango. He also held similar posts with Regis College, Denver, and Tarkio College, Missouri. He was president of the Colorado board of architect examiners, president of the Colorado chapter of the AIA, and national second vice president of the AIA, and was made a Fellow of the AGENDA ITEM #í PAGE # 18 AIA in 7957. His work was recognizedin architectural professionalmagazines. Hunter retired from active practice in 1973. He was also interested in research in solar design. Hunter died in 1983 in Boulder. (Source: Carnegie Library "James Hunter" clipping files) Hobart Wagener graduated from the University of Michigan. Before establishing his practice in Boulder in 1953, Wagener worked in the office of Harold Spitznagel in Sioux Falls, S.D.; Eggers and Higgins in New York; and Pietro Belluschi in Portland, Oregon. He moved to Boulder in 1950, and began working in James Hunter's office. 'Wagener The focus of his practice was Boulder; felt this concentration enabled him to contribute significantly to the character of the city. His projects included schools, churches, banks, office buildings, city and county facilities, industrial and commercial projects, university housing, and residential buildings. He was the recipient of several major design awards from regional AIA awards programs, the Federal Housing Authority, Sunset Magazine, and Architectural Record Magazine. Several of his buildings have been the subject of design articles in architectural professional magazrnes. He served as president of the Boulder Chamber of Commerce, and as president of the Colorado Society of Architects, AlA. He became a fellow of the American Institute of Architects in 1971. Lr 1984, he was recognized by Historic Boulder as the outstanding designer in Boulder over the past 50 years. (Source: Daily Camera clipping frles) 3. Artistic merit: The Municipal Building is an excellent example of the International Style, as reflected in its flat roof, ribbons of windows, emphasis of volume, and the windowless expanse of stonework on the original entry bay. Although lacking in omamentation, Hunter felt that the structural qualities of the building's form and materials were key artistic elements. 'Architecture must do more than create an efhcient and articulate structure in terms of this generation's technical abilities. . . . somehow the esthetic perception of John Q. Public must be satisfied - not through historical eclecticism, but by the simple premise that a building must create a wann, intimate atmosphere to be satisfying. . . The esthetics must be far enough above the public standards that the citizenof the community can grow to appreciate it, and find his culture broadened." The 1962 addition is also a good example of the Formalism Style adapted with a Boulder architectural vocabulary. (Source: Carnegie Llbrary "James Hunter" clipping files) 4. Indigenous qualities: The Municipal Building is signif,rcant for the high quality of stone work which reflects masonry found on the campus of the University of Colorado and elsewhere throughout Boulder. Although buildings of the Modern Architecture period often utilized simple, smooth surface materials, architects in Boulder successfully adapted the native stone into these modern styles. Environmental Significance : Summary: The property has environmental signif,rcance under criteria 3. 1.

"[Matilda] is a macabre, empowering, and riveting musical that was adapted by Dennis Kelly from the children's book by Roald Dahl (Charlie and the Chocolate Factory), who imbued it with one of his trademark themes: Adults are the natural enemies of children." —Griffin Miller, City Guide
"Rejoice, my theatergoing comrades. The children's revolution has arrived on these shores, and it is even more glorious than we were promised...[Matilda] is the most satisfying and subversive musical ever to come out of Britain," —Ben Brantley, New York Times
"The show is strenuously entertaining, as dark as it is funny." —Erik Haagensen, Backstage
"You want to shout, 'Again!' and demand that the cast start over from the very beginning so you might catch everything that you missed — and revel in everything that you savored the first time around. Aren't those the best kinds of stories?" —Thom Geier, Entertainment Weekly

Now that the first milestones on the road map for the resumption of dialogue have been laid, Pakistan hopes that India will respond to its note verbale for arbitration on the construction of the Kishanganga project.
The note verbale was sent to India on April 9 and Foreign Office sources said a delay in the Indian response could raise suspicions.
Pakistan decided to invoke Article 9 of the Indus Waters Treaty (IWT) after exhausting options to resolve differences with India over this project within the Permanent Indus Waters Commission.
Islamabad is now awaiting a response from New Delhi on its decision to invoke the disputes settlement mechanism.
"India needs to tell us who its two negotiators will be in the court of arbitration and also inform the World Bank about the need to appoint a neutral expert, since the two countries have been unable to resolve differences over the project."
Ahead of his teleconference with External Affairs Minister S.M. Krishna on Tuesday, Pakistan Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi met Indus Waters Commissioner Syed Jamait Ali Shah on Monday to discuss issues relating to the IWT and the meeting of the Permanent Indus Waters Commission in India later this month.
Amid demands from a section of technocrats for reworking the IWT, Mr. Qureshi said it was an effective mechanism and reiterated the need to address all differences including outstanding issues between the two countries over the Kishanganga project in accordance with the Treaty.
While Kashmir remains a key issue for Pakistan, the acute water shortage being faced across the country has given it an opportunity to fuel its anger towards India. Just this past Sunday, several leading political parties — including the ruling Pakistan People's Party — put their signatures to a Jamaat-ud-Dawa statement to launch a countrywide movement against India's "water aggression."
Top priority
According to newspaper reports, the joint statement said the government should give top priority to Kashmir and water issues in the Pakistan-India dialogue.
"If India is not willing to focus on these vital issues, there is no gain in continuing such a dialogue. Pakistan must keep open the option of using force to protect our precious water resources if India does not stop these projects [Baglihar and Kishanganga]."
