ITEMS DISCUSSED

1.      September Conference Planning

As of today 11 individuals have registered for the conference and 0 for golf. The Vail Cascade Hotel & Club has been handing out the more expensive rooms first ($85/night) rather than the less expensive rooms first ($75/night). A call was made to the hotel to reverse this process and it has been reversed.

Brian has had difficulty obtaining mailing labels from the Colorado Riparian Society membership and will now be sending the conference brochures to the organization for distribution themselves. Brian will follow up on the Colorado Riparian Society trailer display for use at the conference as an outside attraction.

Brian provided a conference speaker update and everyone is on track for the conference. We discussed the appropriate conference fee for speakers and arrived at the following conclusions:

a. A conference speaker attending a whole day of the conference will pay $ 50/day to cover the cost of meals and refreshments.
b. A conference speaker attending the whole conference will pay the going rate as other individuals attending the conference.
c. A conference speaker attending the conference for only his/her speaking part will not be required to pay any money.

Brian will work on selection/invitation of conference moderators for each session and invite non-officers to participate.

Susan explained that Brad Anderson is working on the conference notebook. Mark Glidden is working on arranging entertainment for the conference dinner. Everything is set for the field trip according to Mike. John indicated that 10 nominations have been submitted for the awards competition and he is looking for help judging the nominations.

Doug indicated that 8 vendors were currently signed up and the conference has room for 15 vendors. Anyone is welcome to help attract in additional vendors (contact Doug for a current list of vendors).

A second notice of the conference will be mailed out on July 26th by Kevin upon receiving a flyer from Susan on the conference and a 1996/1997 Officer and Area Representatives Nominations ballot from John P.

On August 19th at 9:00 am a special conference update meeting will be held at the City of Fort Collins Stormwater Utility to coordinate last minute items.
 

3.      Flood & Stormwater Committee News

On June 27, 1996 a field trip/meeting was held at Rocky Flats. Eleven individuals were in attendance and observed sampling equipment, Women's Creek Reservoir, and various other interesting items within Rocky Flats.

4.      Community Benefit Program

Brian explained that two people are helping assemble all of the pieces for the Community Benefit Program so he can then present it to the CASFM Board. At this time Brian is waiting for the two people to provide him the materials they have promised him. Brian will contact these two people in order to receive the remaining materials (and Brian has also been very busy this summer)

Larry brought up the Buffalo Creek flood of recent and indicated that the area received 2-3 inches of water within a 45 minute time period causing a water depth of 6-7 feet in Buffalo Creek. Larry explained that the FEMA hydrology for the area indicated 600 cfs and the area received between 8000-9000 cfs of water during the flood. Flood flows were 5 feet above the downstream gaging station. Larry asked for volunteers from CASFM for an upcoming town meeting on July 22nd in the evening as he will be in attendance to speak on behalf of CWCB.
