municipalities of Berthoud, Estes Park, Fort Collins and Loveland.
Councilmember Eric Hamrick was the City's first appointee to the Board. When Councilmember
Hamrick's term on the Council expired in April 2005, newly-elected Councilmember Ben Manvel
was appointed to finish the term, which expired on June 30, 2006.
