Steamboat Springs: Draft water conservation plan ready for comments
December 27, 2010
From Steamboat Today:
The draft plan is available for review and public comment through Feb. 23. Informational presentations are scheduled for Jan. 18 at the Steamboat Springs City Council meeting and Jan. 20 at the Mount Werner Water board meeting. The public is welcome to attend these meetings and comment on the plan; written input and suggestions are encouraged.
Once the plan is approved by the [Colorado Water Conservation Board], the districts are eligible for state grants to fund the implementation of water saving programs and measures.

In my opinion, you cannot trust anything from the City of Steamboat or its attorney Athony Lettuncih AKA Tony.
While Lettuncih was Steamboat City Attorney he was also operating a real estate practice. The City responded to my open records request that they had no contract with Lettunich and no information regarding his private law practice.
Lettunich’s firm Vanderbloemen & Lettunich represented the Haymaker golf course. It was sold to the City apparently because it was losing money.

The former president of Steamboat’ s City Council, Kevin Bennett, is a convicted felon. He has four buildings on his property at 701 Princeton Ave. Three of these were built in 2000. But the property tax rolls for 701 Princeton show that the square feet of building area, 2,343, remain the same as in 1950.
Apparently there are millions and millions missing from collections of the Steamboat Springs developers’ taxes but the City ignored requests from staff to audit.
