Introduction and Background

Meetings were held monthly from December 2002 through July 2003 at which the various
aspects of stormwater management were presented and discussed. Topics included:

· Problems and Needs,

· Managerial and Operational Aspects,

· Financial Aspects,

· Legal Aspects, and

· Alternatives Analysis.

A professional facilitator was used to keep the meetings on track, to ensure understanding, to
elicit questions and discussion, and to survey the members on disagreement or consensus. This
report contains the final findings, conclusions, and recommendations ofthe Steering Committee.

The study process (discussed in detail below) included research, analysis, and presentation of the
information to the Steering Committee for consideration and evaluation. A web site was
maintained and monthly press releases were made. In addition, information was distributed to
individuals and managers from entities affected by storrnwater management, including irrigation
companies, the BLM, and CDOT. A comprehensive list of entities and individuals that received
information is in Appendix H.
