Subj: Re: BATCO letter on the OSMP Visitor Master Plan Study Session

Date: 11/29/2004

To: council@ci.boulder.co.us

As a result of our letter to you dated 11/24/04 (attached), I was contacted today by Bev Gholson, a CMC representative, and another BATCO constituent was contacted by Gwen Dooley, a PLAN Boulder representative. These individuals have misinterpreted our letter as an attempt by the BATCO Board to speak for the entire Community Group Forum. That was not our intent.

I am sending you this email to clarify BATCO's position. Our comments are our own and reflect the input we have received from the stakeholder groups we represent. We believe we accurately characterized the Community Group Forum's recommendations. We used the OSMP staff's own descriptions of the areas of disagreement.

In expressing our concerns and making recommendations to resolve the issues, we are attempting to defuse a potentially explosive situation.
