Harold Wahlborg, Secretary Frank Young, Chairman Cathy A. Watson, Minute Taker CLEAR CREEK COUNTY OPEN SPACE COMMISSION January 30, 2001 7:00 P.M. - Clear Creek County Court House, Commissioners' Hearing Room Special Meeting Minutes I. Opening of meeting Call to Order 7:10 Roll Call Members present: Sara Donahue, Sue Howell, Fran Enright, Frank Young, Mall Sailor, Hal Wahlborg, Marilyn Hogan Absent: Amy Karshbaum, Marion Anderson, Pete Helseth Approval of Agenda: Three main topics for this meeting to be arrastra, Elmgreen properties, and county's master planning process. 2002 calendar year meeting schedule distributed II. Announcements Frank noted the article in the Courant and Courier about Snyder Mtn. property. He also mentioned several upcoming events and meetings: o Memo with dates for meetings on BLM lands, first of which is March 29. o DRCOG update memo on outstanding regional people. o DOT 2-day workshop designing streets for bicycles/pedestrians. Flyer is in folder o Referral notice: St. Mary's parcel. o Frei quarry hearing coming up Feb 20th Ill. Updates Report on Master Plan Steering Committee (MPSC) met 1/22. Mark Levin said at that meeting that little had been done since October. Main accomplishment at this meeting was that the MPSC composition and method of voting was formalized. Goal at this time is to describe the project coordinator job, which description is supposed to be in e-mail, however, not received at this time. Mark Levin says this needs to be a high-powered professional. The group took a rough stab at this description based on an outline from Bert. Those who attended felt this was a long, frustrating meeting, with little resolution. Discussion: There was extensive discussion about the combination of the Open Space, Tourism and Recreation segments for this plan, and the pros and cons of paid person vs. volunteer to accomplish the needs for these groups, and whether this should be one person for all three entities, or each have their own person. Funding for this person was also an issue. Tourism and Recreation have paid staff who could be detailed for this duty, but not Open Space. Fran strongly recommend this position be paid, hopefully out of the grant. Discussion ensued about the amount of support from county staff, the recreation district going forward with their plans, enabling legislation for Open Space and passive recreation on our lands. Marilyn could be interested in this position for Open Space. There was a suggestion about developing a staging process where we fund and then request reimbursement. Reference was made to past discussions about a paid position and a consultant in future, as well as management, facilities and operations. Hal distributed materials from San Miguel County: Management plans are developed as amendments to their master plan which will sharply decrease property values for high country properties. Action:Mark Cucinella is having a meeting at 9:00 (next day) at Idaho Springs City Hall which Sara will attend on behalf of Open Space. Points to bring up at that meeting: - Equal votes for Recreation, Tourism and Open Space on MPSC committee - Define amount of money involved and allocation Action: It was suggested to develop a letter to the MPSC (letter) indicating our perspective, In view of limited frames, we suggest hiring someone to scope the job, develop process, scheduling and cost analysis. Marilyn & Donna will compose letter to MPSC. Next MCSC meeting 2/7/02 (Thursday) at 6:00 at 80CC hearing room. Break 8:27 Resume 8:44 Report on Arrastra property on Mill Creek At our last appearance before BOCC, they want to wait 3 months and consider three issues: 1.Grazing situation - Cannady (BOCC will work on this) 2.Neighborhood meeting concerning uses for property, whether suitable for hard recreation and determine the feeling in the neighborhood. One party has requested a soccer field on the site. (Open Space will work on this) 3.Irrigation ditches across property; detail and identity rights for management (County Lands Dept will work on this portion) Discussion: Sara commented on grazing, noting that the property has been very much overgrazed and severely abused. She was concerned that this be addressed during this process. During the last several weeks Lisa Leben, Frank Young, Holland and Laura (from County Lands Dept and Donna Moody (as a citizen) walked the property - including the arrastra and the quarry on the east side of Mill Creek road.

  • All Grants Awarded Through Fiscal Year 2020 INTRODUCTION and KEY
    All Grants Awarded Through Fiscal Year 2020 INTRODUCTION AND KEY This report is a list of all grants awarded by the Colorado Historical Society’s State Historical Fund (SHF) since its inception in 1992 (state Fiscal Year 1993) through the end of Fiscal Year 2020. The amounts listed are the original award amounts. If for some reason the entire grant amount was not used (i.e. a project was terminated or was completed under budget) the full amount awarded will appear. In other instances grant awards were increased either to enable project completion or to cover the costs of easements. In these instances, the additional award amount is shown in a separate entry as an increase. In those cases where no work was accomplished and the funds were either declined by the grant recipient or were required to be returned to the SHF through rescissions, no entry will appear. For this reason, projects listed in one version of this report may not appear in later versions, and the financial information shown in this report may not be comparable to other revenue reports issued by the SHF. Grants listed in this report are identified by project ID number. The first two characters in the project ID number represent the fiscal year from which the grant was scheduled to be paid. The state is on a July 1 – June 30 fiscal year. So, for example, all grants made between July 1, 2006 and June 30, 2007 will be coded “07”. The next two characters identify the type of grant. In the case of grants that are awarded based on specific application due dates, the grant round in which the project was funded will be paired with either a letter or number.
