2.0 PUBLIC PARTICIPATION (TASK 1)

Public participation has been included throughout the Phase II study to

ensure that the concerns of the general public and of those most directly

affected by possible alternatives are considered during the evaluation

process. Citizens Forum meetings have been held at the City's Yater and

Yastewater Department to present and discuss study progress reports, during

which the public's input has been encouraged. The meetings were organized

and scheduled by City staff, and all interested citizens were invited to

attend.

The Citizens Forum met monthly from March through July and again in
September of 1987. The meetings were conducted immediately following the
Loveland Yater Board's regularly scheduled meetings on the third Monday of
each month. Progress reports of work completed-to-date were generally made
available one week prior to each meeting, and were then presented by CDM
and City staff at the meetings. Individuals participating in one or more
of the Citizens Forums are listed in Table 2-1.

During the meetings, participants were given the opportunity to ask

questions and make comments on the progress of the study, and to provide

suggestions on the project's scope of work. Records of each meeting were

made by City staff and are kept on file at the City'S Yater/Yastewater

Department. The results and conclusions of the Phase II study presented in

this report include consideration of the comments and concerns raised by

the Citizens Forum.

Two joint City Council and Yater Board workshops and one joint study

session were held on August 11, August 17, and September 8, respectively.

The purpose of these meetings was threefold: 1) to provide City Council

members with progress reports on study findings developed to date, 2) to

solicit input from the Council and Yater Board regarding social and

environmental issues identified for the alternatives under consideration,
