<br />" <br /> <br />.. <br /> <br />DISCUSSION <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Currently, the Board staff is awaiting formal responses to questions that were raised at the formal <br />review of July 21, 1999 and stated in Director Evans' letter dated August 20, 1999 - See attached. <br />The Board has not received an answer as to when it can expect an answer to our questions and <br />concerns. <br /> <br />On August 19, 1999, the staff conducted a meeting with the Cherry Creek basin county and city <br />officials. The purpose of the meeting was to seek an opinion on an independent technical review <br />of the Cherry Creek PMP and PMF studies. The group unanimously supported a proposal to <br />contract for a technical review. In addition, the group plagued the following financial support: <br />. Arapahoe County $20,000.00 <br />. Douglas County $20,000.00 <br />. City of Aurora $10,000.00 <br />. City of Greenwood Village $25,000.00 <br /> <br />On August 27,1999, I attended a meeting in Omaha, Nebraska where the findings ofthe Board's <br />Summary Report and the contents of Director Evans' letter were fully discussed. At the close of <br />the Corps' meeting, I was advised that the Corps would not financially participate in a "peer <br />review" of their PMP and PMF. However, they would review any scientific study that was <br />conducted by the State of Colorado. In addition, the Corps' made an appeal that the State <br />commence a technical review after their draft ElS report is on the street which is projected to be <br />~m . <br />It should be noted that the county and city representatives at the August 19, 1999 meeting . <br />expressed an opinion that they desire to commence the technical review, immediately. <br /> <br />ENDORSEMENT <br /> <br />The staff finds that it is in the best interest of Cherry Creek Darn Safety issue and the basin <br />interests to commence with the scoping for a technical review of the Corps of Engineers and the <br />National Weather Service PMP and PMF studies. The staff requests the Board's endorsement of <br />this action. <br /> <br />Enclosure: Summary Report dated August 5, 1999 <br />L:/boardmem/sept99/item II f.doc <br /> <br />. <br />
