A document the scope and magnitude of the 2000 Tri-Lakes Comprehensive Plan Update does not come together without the committed effort of a hard-working team. Those who have given of themselves for the betterment of Tri-lakes are here listed. There are several individuals, however, to whom special thanks are due. Vince Rusinak, who chaired the Citizens Advisory Committee, which met bimonthly for more than two years and was ultimately responsible for the Updated Plan. Several working Subcommittees often met weekly. Katherine Rose Chair of the Parks, Trails, and Visual Resources Subcommittee, Jerry Hannigan Chair of the Transportation Subcommittee, and Jack Cooper and Martin Delohery Co-Chairs of the Growth and Land Use Subcommittee deserve special thanks. Also deserving extra recognition are Citizens Advisory Committee Co-Chairs Jack Cooper and Jerry Hannigan, members, Andy de Naray, Chuck Robinove, and Jacques Adnet for their significant efforts to make this a better document. Paul Mannino, Patrick Mulready and Mayor Si Sibel deserve great credit for representing the Town of Monument. Mickey Campbell and Bob Wickham deserve special credit for representing the Town of Palmer Lake. Russ Broshous, Ann Oatman-Gardner, and the late Jim Steele deserve great credit for editing and proofing this Plan. El Paso County Planning Division staff, Carl Schueler, Elizabeth Hacker, Steve Vigil, and Elaine Nelson with patience and a good sense of humor, are responsible for completing the Plan, getting it out for public review, and for keeping things on track. Finally, for those who have contributed, but who are not specifically acknowledged, thanks. This Plan could not have been produced without a genuine team effort.
