between
ROCKY MOUNTAIN NATIONAL PARK,

WELD COUNTY, COLORADO
Whereas, the Cache la Poudre River Corridor Act (The Act), Public Law 104-323, was enacted
by the Congress in October 1996, with its mission to be carried out by a citizen commission (The
Commission), and
Whereas, the mandate of The Act, under the direction of The Commission, is to develop an
interpretive plan for this river corridor, and
Whereas, technical problems with the language of The Act have delayed the appointment of The
Commission, and
Whereas, Rocky Mountain National Park, Larimer County, and Weld County, Colorado, wish to
expedite the will of Congress and of local communities in implementing the mission of the
Poudre Corridor Act,
Now, therefore, Rocky Mountain National Park, Larimer County, and Weld County desire, as an
interim measure to forward the purposes of the Poudre Corridor Act, to enter into an exchange of
information in accordance with the following stipulations:
STIPULATIONS
This exchange of information will be to develop a foundation upon which The Commission,
once appointed, will be able to proceed more expeditiously with accomplishing the provisions of
The Act.

both the provision of information and involvement in this exchange.
Exchange of information may include, but is not limited to: GIS mapping data, identification of
interpretive sites, present public corridor facilities and management, and present corridor
planning
Discussions will be to insure the successful implementation of The Act, and will aid,but in no
way usurp the primacy of, The Commission in achieving this goal.
Larimer County, Weld County, and Rocky Mountain National Park agree to meet periodically to
discuss issues associated with implementation of The Act. The counties will assume
responsibility for inviting whomever they consider appropriate to participate in these meetings.
