A collaborative effort between representatives <br />of the ten checkoffs has been established. The collaboration is called Checkoff Colorado. The effort has <br />resulted in a Public Service Announcement with Governor Owens, posters (including some on RTD busses), <br />flyers, and radio commercials. A press conference to publicize Checkoff Colorado is scheduled at the State <br />Capitol for January 15,2003. Representatives of all ten tax checkofffunds are expected to be there. Attorney <br />General Ken Salazar will address this press conference. It is hoped that this effort will increase contributions. <br /> <br />Recommendation <br /> <br />Staff recommends that the Board adopt the attached Grant Program Guidance for the Colorado Watershed <br />Protection Fund. <br /> <br />Attachment: Grant Program Guidance <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />Flood Protection.
