A special Chatfield Watershed Authority Board meeting to review lobbyists' proposals and decide how to move forward. The CWA budget forecast shows a need for an additional $120,000 a year for the next five years for CWA to continue serving its mission. A new tax or fee is not a viable option. Before the November CWA board meeting, CWA will need to decide if it intends to pursue specific actions from recommended alternatives.
During the October 17, 2022, Board Meeting, the Board was presented with four options to consider on potential sources of additional CWA funding and the cost impacts of each option. The options were 1) discontinue the effort to pursue additional funding, 2) postpone the effort until the lakes nutrients rulemaking proceeding has concluded, then re-evaluate the CWA budget, 3) pursue additional discussions with Colorado Parks and Wildlife and the Department of Natural Resources regarding sources of potential additional funding for CWA and, 4) consider amending state statute to provide a source of funding for CWA. The next legislative session begins in January 2023 and continues through June 2023.
The CHATFIELD WATERSHED AUTHORITY (“CWA”) offers this Request for Qualifications (RFQ) to respondents who are interested in service as the lobbying partner for the organization. This resulting contract is expected to be for nine months, with a possibility of extension.
