7.         2000 Conference Planning
 

2000 Conference is August 30th, 31st and September 1st at the Sheridan in Steamboat Springs.  Conference theme is “Storming into the 21st Century”

Jamie reported on how the conference planning was going.  So far we have only received three abstracts, but the deadline isn’t until the end of the month.  We talked about different ideas for a keynote speaker.  Craig will give Jamie a contact name from Shea homes to follow up on.  John suggested either Mark Reisner (author of Cadallac Desert) or CSU Professor Dan Tyler.  He will follow up with them to get information.  We discussed a growth and development related panel in the afternoon.  Potentially someone from DRCOG like Larry Mugler, someone from CML, Bill DeGroot, a developer, local government, consultant, etc.  Jamie will be following up on this lead.  We also discussed potential workshops to have at the conference.  John Hunt has a workshop on culvert hydraulics, complete with flume demonstration that would be very good.  Only problem is to shorten it to 4 hours.  He will be further discussing it with his company.  Want to ensure that they don’t discourage people from attending a longer seminar on the subject.  Other thoughts were to have another workshop on Volume III of the UDFCD manual or NPDES.  There will also be a bike ride field trip at this time.  We also briefly went over the time schedule spreadsheet for conference planning.  We discussed the items to be done and the time line
