<br />. Westminster <br />. Golden <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />These cities "purchased" a sum total of 1,200 landscape irrigation audits from the CRC to <br />be performed within their jurisdiction. This represents a 250% increase in participation <br />from 2004. In keeping with 2004's funding model, the cities are responsible for at least <br />50% of the cost ofthe program, while a grantor matches the City's contribution to the <br />cost of the program. Municipalities find this arrangement very economical as they work <br />to fund and implement their water conservation plans. <br /> <br />Slow the Flow Colorado 2005 employed 10 full-time auditors during the summer (3 of <br />which were re-hired from the 2004 audit program to mentor new staff.) One full time <br />scheduler/program assistant works during the summer and continues into the fall. The <br />CRC's Water Conservation Program Manager, Kara Csibrik, spends approximately 50% <br />of her full-time work load at the CRe dedicated to making this program a success <br />(approximately 1000 hours per year). Kara has the main responsibility in executing the <br />program and managing all staff involved. <br /> <br />Overall Results 2005 <br />.
