Ben noted that it is desirable to start most improvements, other than detention, at the downstream end of the drainageway. 16, What is the work occurring on the southeast side of Platte Canyon Road? Bob Deeds described the future water supply reservoir that is being constructed at the site by the Centennial Water and Sanitation District. A channel is currently under construction and will carry the probable maximum flood from SJCD around the reservoir. The reservoir will be filled with water drawn from the South Platte River and the water level in the reservoir will fluctuate.

Ben briefly explained the nomenclature of flooding events. For example, a 10-year flood event is one that over a long period of time tends to happen once every ten years. It does not mean that it actually happens only once every ten years. He also explained that the 1 OO-year flood event in this area of Jefferson County is predicted to result from a rainfall event in excess of three inches in two hours over the entire watershed, not just parts of the watershed. 18, Requests were made to have a list of contact information for county officials, etc. at the next public meeting and to put information regarding the project on a website. Ben said he will consider this and other options to inform and update those attending about this project, Everyone on the full mailing list will be notified of the next public meeting that should take place around March, April or May of 2005, 19. Many comments were made and questions were raised regarding the flooding that occurred in the Meadows Ranch area in June 2004. Ben explained the master planning process in relation to potential improvements, The master plan must be approved and adopted by the county. The county then prioritizes projects and can request that particular projects be placed on UDFCD's 5-year capital improvements plan. He noted that it was unlikely that improvements could be started in 2005. Ben and Paula encouraged the citizens to talk to their elected officials, particularly the county commissioners, and Jefferson County staff, such as the head of the Public Works Department about their concerns, They noted that citizen voices have greater weight than those of the staff, In response to requests during and after the meeting for contact information of Jefferson County officials, following is the Jefferson County website, in which this information can be found: www.co.iefferson.cQ.us. cc: Named attendees via e-mail Tim Carey via e-mail Melissa Chew via e-mail Kathy Christensen via e-mail Alecia Cope via e-mail Russ Clayshulte via e-mail Paul Duncan via e-mail Scott Franklin via e-mail Bill Kieck via e-mail Larry Lang via e-mail
