Dear Ms. Oropeza,
Please see the enclosed invoice of $47,392.00 to the City of Fort Collins for the Big Thompson
Watershed Forum's Cooperative Monitoring Program and general operations for 2016. As
discussed at the Forum’s December 15th board meeting, $37,392 is the cost associated with the
Joint Funding Agreement (JFA) with the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and $10,000 is for
Forum annual operations. The enclosed cost distribution spreadsheet provides operational cost
breakdowns from USGS and for each of our major contributors based on a pro-rated formula for
site ownership. Total costs to the city went up slightly, $1,210, in 2016. This is a 3% increase
in the total JFA program from 2015.
On behalf of the Forum, I would like to thank you and the City of Fort Collins for your continued
in-kind laboratory support of the Forum. Your support and funding allows us to continue to
monitor TOC and chlorophyll a and accomplish our mission in the Big Thompson River through
collaborative monitoring, assessment, outreach, and restoration projects.
With your funding, our major operating programs continue to remain strong and we look forward
to 2016. The City of Fort Collins has been one of our most loyal supporters and it is making a
difference in our ability to protect and improve water quality in the lakes, reservoirs, rivers and
streams in the Big Thompson Watershed. If you have any questions or concerns about the
invoice or cost distributions, please do not hesitate to contact me at 970-613-6163 or
zshelley@btwatershed.org. Thank you.
Respectfully,
Zack Shelley
Program Director
