Update on Project Timing and Process.
Jim reported he’s been in touch with our Larimer County representative this week. The County representative reported progress in working through the changes implemented by the state for projects such as ours. As a result, the County believes that they are now in sync with the State for our project and will continue work on the Request For Proposal, which had been put on hold pending obtaining a full understanding of the changes to the State’s process. The State’s new process will require another meeting that will require a representative from our group to meet the State and County. The County representative will let us know when this meeting will be scheduled. Jim will let the committee know when he gets an RFP draft so it can be commented on.
