5) Recreation Analysis . Dave Giger (Colorado State Parks) reported on the results of a recent meeting dealing with recreation mitigation. Meeting attendees looked at which facilities can be moved and the costs associated. Dave said he is also seeing increases in estimates based on rising construction costs. Another topic of concern is the impacts to the park while construction is underway. . Dave pointed out that there are some inconsistencies between the EDAW maps and Tetra Tech's maps. Gary Drendel said he is currently looking into this issue. . Eric Laux brought up the Recreational Experience section in Chapter 4-it provides a monetary value for any reduction in the recreational experience.

He feels the public will be concerned with the transition time from the old park to the new park. 6) Environmental Mitigation Update . Gary Drendel said that he has not received any input from the Water Users regarding water supplies for the various mitigation scenarios and still needs input. .

The pond has recreation attributes that will be difficult to mitigate 7) Public Involvement .

Katie Fendel asked if the Water Users will have the opportunity to comment on the flyer. It was decided that the Users could take a look at it during the meeting and make comments. The goal is to get the flyer in distribution at Chatfield before the seasonal attendance drops off. .
