COMMISSIONER COORDINATOR REPORTS: Chair Rademacher stated he attended a celebration
last weekend for the Town of Milliken's 100th year anniversary, and he enjoyed spending time with the
residents.
Commissioner Long stated he met with representatives of the U.S. Forest Service and a group of
interested citizens regarding planning an appropriate shooting venue on the Pawnee National
Grassland. He stated the group visited several potential sites, and upon the recommendation of some
of the local residents, the group visited a site located near County Road 61 and north of State
Highway 14 approximately 1.5 miles, which the group finds to be a highly suitable site. He stated the
local residents and the Pawnee Cooperative Grazing Association both indicated they find the site
suitable; therefore, Lori Bell, District Ranger, U.S. Forest Service, will review the area to make sure it
does not contain any artifacts and that there are not any other problems with the area being selected.
Commissioner Long stated the site is located along a trail the U.S. Forest Service recently spent

approximately $2,000,000.00 dollars improving, including enhancing the nearby roads and constructing
kiosks. He stated one of the U.S. Forest Service representatives indicated since the U.S. Forest
Service invested a significant amount of money into the nearby roads, the roads should be utilized for
multiple purposes, in order to capitalize on the investment. He stated there are not any residences
within three (3) miles of the site, and it is a much better location than the site previously being
considered. Chair Rademacher thanked Commissioner Long for attending the meeting and he
indicated he would have liked to have attended it. Commissioner Long stated the site he has been
discussing is already being utilized as an unofficial shooting area, and there was a great deal of visible
debris.
Commissioner Conway indicated he visited with Senator Mark Udall's Chief of Staff yesterday and the
watershed issues on the west side of Rocky Mountain National Park, in Grand County, were discussed,
as well as the ongoing effort to mitigate the bark beetle issue, which is causing increasing concern, due
to the number of recent fires. He stated a massive fire could endanger the water provided by the Big
Thompson Water Project. Chair Rademacher stated he hopes the concentration lies on the
watersheds. Commissioner Conway stated the Chief of Staff indicated that Senator Udall's attention is
on the watersheds, and he is striving to recruit Senators from the State of Nebraska and to obtain an
additional $49,000,000.00. He indicated that he shared an issue with the Chief of Staff that the Board
had with the National Park Service dictating orders to the Colorado Department of Public Health and
Environment, without any congressional or regulatory authority, and the Chief of Staff concurred that it
was inappropriate and indicated he would share the information with Senator Udall. He stated another
issue which was discussed was the No Child Left Behind Act. Chair Rademacher indicated he is glad
Senator Udall will evaluate the watershed issues, and all the issues concerning the bark beetle
infestation cannot be addressed; however, the critical areas need to addressed, and the water supply is
the most important issue. Commissioner Conway concurred.
