Dear Mr. Lacy:
To date a considerable amount of background research has been
accomplished in exploring the potential for the establishment of
a public greenway along the Cache la Poudre. With that research
in place we can begin to examine the potential for specific
routes.
This next step is clearly the most sensitive and critical since
it involves working cooperatively with a variety of property
owner interests in Greeley, Windsor, and Weld County.
To be successful with this effort and mindful of the needs and
concerns of property ownership interests throughout this
corridor, we feel a more deliberate effort between the three key
jurisdictions is required. We'd like to suggest the formulation
of an ad hoc Poudre River Greenway Committee comprised as
follows:
Greeley 2 Members
Windsor 2 Members
Weld County 2 Members
League of Women Voters 1 Member (League of Women Voters has
taken a position of support
for this project and has
been involved consistently
with Greeley's research on
the project. )
In the development of this committee, Greeley would probably look
to recruitment of members from its existing boards, such as the
Planning Commission and Water and Sewer or Parks and Recreation
Advisory Board, with the hope that related issues may also be
kept in focus as the project progresses. Further, it is expected
that this committee would then recruit additional members who

represent property ownership or related interests to balance
perspectives on the greenway' s potential development.
It is expected that this "blue-ribbon" committee would serve a
maximum of one year. At the end of the term, a permanent
organization or arrangement should be in place to continue to
development of the greenway or trail linkages. Among the
committee's charges would be:
• Providing general oversight to remainder of Poudre study.
• Coordinating and conducting landowner communications.
• Establishing a strategy for the immediate and long-range
development of the greenway area, including the formulation of
a permanent entity to provide perpetual oversight of the
project.
With this committee in place, we should also be in a better
position to complement the efforts currently being pursued with
the National Heritage Corridor designation of the Poudre.
City of Greeley Planning staff would provide the technical
support to this committee. (Such participation or coordination
with any of your staff members is also certainly welcome. )
I hope you will give this request careful attention and, of
course, if you have any questions, please call. I look forward
to hearing from you soon.
Sincerely,
Yi\VAtc
William J. Mo ton
Mayor
