Colorado OHV Enthusiast ACTION ALERT!!
MASS DISTRIBUTION REQUIRED!!
SORRY FOR DUPLICATIONS
PLEASE PASS THIS ON!!
The State Parks Board will be reviewing the future of the El Paso County OHV Park this upcoming Friday, February 22, 2008 during the State Park Board meeting at 10 a.m. at the Embassy Suites, 7290 Commerce Center Drive, Colorado Springs (Woodmen and 1-25) - Ballroom Section C.
THE PARK KILLERS "WILL BE THERE IN LARGE NUMBERS"!!
WE (OHV ENTHUSIASTS) NEED TO "ATTEND AND DEMONSTRATE SUPPORT FOR THE PROJECT"!!
10:00 AM FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 2008
EMBASSY SUITES HOTEL, COLORADO SPRINGS, CO
WHEN IN COLORADO SPRINGS:
From I-25, Take the WOODMEN ROAD exit- EXIT 149.
Turn onto E WOODMEN RD 1/10th Mile to
COMMERCE CENTER DRIVE 3/10ths Mile to end at
Embassy Suites-Colorado Springs:
7290 Commerce Center Dr, Colorado Springs, CO 80919
It's important we be there IF POSSIBLE!
The State Park Board will consider the following resolution from the State Trails Committee:
Motion by Deb Thorson: Recommend approval of OHV Grant #31 El Paso County OHV Park however, with a two step process in the contract. Planning money would be made available right away to complete the site master planning process. The land acquisition money would be made available contingent on the outcome of the site master planning process presentation made to the State Trails Committee in June. Gary Buffington seconded the motion. In Favor of approving the motion: Kevin Hall, Kae Rader, Debra Thorson, Britt Weygandt, Gary Buffington. One Opposed: Dick Bratton
It appears the State Parks Board has the following options: (1) Elect to not approve the resolution and provide no funding (2) Approve the proposed resolution (3) Disregard the proposed resolution and approve the full grant as recommended by the OHV Sub-Committee.
At the meeting, each side will be given approximately twenty minutes to present their report. I recognize the meeting is on a work day but if at all possible, it would be very helpful for you to attend to demonstrate support for the project. The opponents will certainly be there in large numbers.
