Steamboat Realtors

help local organizations

The Steamboat Springs Board of Realtors and the Colorado Association of Realtors Housing Opportunity Foundation have announced contributions to the following local organizations: LIFT-UP of Routt County, $5,000; Routt County Foundation for Senior Citizens, $15,000; Horizon’s Specialized Services, $2,000; and the Yampa Valley Housing Authority, $3,000. Funds for the contributions are collected from interest on real estate trust accounts and contributions from Realtors. Funds are donated to local organizations that provide housing and related services for moderate- to low-income residents.  

White Basin Roundtable accepting applications

The Yampa/White Basin Roundtable is accepting applications to fill vacant seats.

There are four voting seats open at this time: one representing environmental interests, one representing agricultural interests, one representing the Colorado River Water Conservancy District and one seat representing the Pothook Water Conservancy District.

The roundtable is a result of the “Colorado Water for the 21st Century” Act passed by the Legislature in 2006. Nine roundtables were established for each of the state’s major river basins and the Denver metropolitan area. These roundtables facilitate discussions about water issues and encourage locally driven collaborative solutions. The broad-based, collaborative nature of this process is reflected in the roundtable membership.

The roundtable meets quarterly at different locations throughout the basins. The October meeting is Oct. 22 at Northwestern Colorado Community College in Rangely.

Interested parties should send a letter of interest and qualifications by Oct. 17 to:

Paul Strong, P.O. Box 776189, Steamboat Springs, CO 80477-6189; via e-mail at paul@strong-cpa.com; or by fax at: 970-879-9215.
