County Perspectives is a new publication that CCI is providing to inform counties of current and relevant topics.  These publications will include a presentation and overview of an issue.  Then, they will present possibilities of how counties in Colorado would be affected by the issue.  Finally, local opinions will be represented by Coloradans who have knowledge of the particular issue. 

The first issue of the County Perspectives series is "Methamphetamine: A Colorado View."  This paper outlines the epidemic of methamphetamine in the country and then narrows the problem to how it is affecting Colorado counties.  Possible strategies are drawn out.  Those involved in the fight against meth in Colorado are quoted to add local perspectives.
 
• CCI recently published an issue of County Perspectives that explores the topic of development impact fees.  Some examples of impact fees from different Colorado counties are mentioned in the paper.  There are links to counties that have impact fee documents on their own websites listed in the paper. Here are some other examples of impact fees from a few other counties: Mesa County, Jefferson County, Pitkin County.

In practice this means that local governments no longer have to report to the Commission on their 1041 regulations, subdivision regulations, major activity notices, environmental impact statements and service authority area comprehensive development guides.

• CCI's RS 2477 Position Statement was adopted by CCI's Public Lands Steering Committee on Friday, August 6, 2004. This statement is the result of over 5 months of thoughtful deliberations and compromise by the RS 2477 Subcommittee. This document represents CCI's current position on RS 2477.

Handbook on Brownfields Redevelopment Now Available
The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) and the Office of Smart Growth in the Colorado Department of Local Affairs (DOLA) have announced the release of a new publication entitled The Colorado Brownfields Handbook: A Local Government Guide to Site Reuse and Economic Redevelopment. The Colorado Brownfields Handbook is the culmination of a three-year partnership between CDPHE and the Office of Smart Growth to promote the cleanup and redevelopment of brownfield sites around the state.  The project partners enlisted the help of a number of state, local and non-profit agencies, including the Colorado Brownfields Foundation, to help analyze and document the roles and interrelationships of various levels of government and identify and overcome potential institutional obstacles to reuse. The handbook incorporates lessons learned from pilot brownfield cleanup and redevelopment efforts in Rangely and Alamosa.  The handbook also provides a comprehensive list of the technical and financial resources available, frequently asked questions and a suggested methodology for brownfield cleanup and redevelopment. The project was made possible by a grant from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
