This plan will incorporate and address other planning, scientific, and visioning documents, and it will also build on them to create a shared vision and lay out a plan of specific actions the participating entities can take to begin to realize the shared vision for the Fountain Creek The facilitator of these series of meetings and planning sessions is the Keystone Center, which has been facilitating the Fountain Creek Vision Task Force since September 2006. Keystone prepares agendas for all the groups (including the working groups), secure locations, writes meeting summaries, talks to participants outside meetings to help the process along, runs the listserv, distributes documents, etc. The agreement was that early facilitation by Keystone (everything in 2006) would be pro bono. The Task Force agreed that facilitation in 2007 would be paid for in some fashion, and hoped for a state grant ($75,000) through the Colorado Water Conservation Board, but that is looking less likely. Entities involved in the decision - making body (the Consensus Committee) agreed to contribute funds. So far, $42,300 in pledges from 13 entities and 4 individuals has occurred. The City of Pueblo will allocate $2,500 as will Pueblo County. RECOMMENDATION Approval of the Resolution. FINANCIAL IMPACT Funds in the amount of $2,500 will be transferred from the Contingencies Account in the 2007 General Fund Budget (see attached spreadsheet for the balance in the contingencies account).
