<br />Chairman P. K. Bryant of the Denver Regional Council of Governments, Mayor <br />Robert G. Johnson of Arvada, Mayor Paul C. Beck of Aurora, Mayor Robert W. Knecht <br />of Boulder, Mayor Kenneth Mitchell of Brighton, Mayor Clyde A. Brunner of Broomfield, <br />Mayor W. H. McNichols, Jr. of Denver. Mayor Dale J. Henson of Edgewater, City Man- <br />ager Stanley H. Dial of Englewood, President A. R. Bessette of the Littleton City Coun- <br />cil. Mayor Hugh Danahy of Northglenn, Mayor Jane E. Rosenbach of Sheridan, Mayor <br />James J. Richey of Lakewood and Ronald A. Hellbusch, Brighton Water Program Co- <br />ordinator, all favored an unspecified larger acreage than Proposal # 1. I.e., "special" <br />position. <br /> <br />The "special" position is corollary to the Denver Water Board's position statement. <br />The Munlcipalities are in favor of Wilderness preservation and recreation development. <br />but only after their water needs have been met. They generally felt an enlarged area <br />would fill their mentioned needs to best advantage. Their statements reflect this "spe- <br />cial" position and are presented in Appendix 1. <br /> <br />It is appropriate in the response analysis to consider the source of the many thou- <br />sands of responses to the Hearing Proposal. There were two major types of responses. <br />The "individual-effort" type represents individual thinking. requires an effort to prepare <br />the response and is usually an attempt to add factual knowledge. The "mass-mailing" <br />type of response generally represents only the effort to am" a signature to a proposal <br />statement prepared by someone else and adding nothing to the factual knowledge con- <br />tained in the original statement. <br /> <br />The "mass-mailing" type of response, particularly in the volume received. repre- <br />sents a new dimension of public involvement. The mass-mailing response totaled 18,940. <br />or 88% of the total of 21,432 responses received. This effort can be traced to about <br />half a dozen sources. one of which alone accounted for some eleven thousand responses. <br /> <br />In summary. twenty-three percent of the responses favored the Hearing Proposal, <br />seventy-three percent favored Proposal ,12, nearly four percent favored Proposal ;f3, and <br />less than 1 percent favored all other Proposals. <br /> <br />1340 <br /> <br />29 <br />
