Thirty-seven people applied to serve on the city’s new Oil and Gas Committee.
Council members Angela Dougan, Val Snider and Brandy Williams, who will serve on the committee, reviewed all the résumés and are recommending the selection of the following seven people:
Randy Case
Jan Handke
Stephen Harris
Chris Mendrop
John Maynard
Michael Martin
Ed McCord
The nominations have to be confirmed by the full City Council.
The city did not include the résumés of those seven individuals. A request for their résumés was referred to Dougan, who is apparently in charge of committee communications. Dougan did not immediately return a call for comment.
The committee, previously called a task force, was commissioned by council President Scott Hente in response to plans by Texas-based Ultra Resources to drill on Banning Lewis Ranch in east Colorado Springs.
Hente gave the committee until May to issue a report. That’s because the council issued a six-month moratorium on oil and gas exploration Nov. 29 to determine whether the city has the right regulations in place.
The committee will meet every Thursday from 8:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. starting Jan. 26. Committee members are expected to attend the weekly meetings on a regular basis, perform research assignments as needed and go on possible field trips, the city said.
Only Dougan, Williams and Snider, who will chair the committee, will have a vote on the final report to council.
Here’s a list of everyone who applied:
Jim Adcox
Val Barrutia
Russell J. “Jeff” Cahill
Randy Case
Gary Casimir
John Crandall
John E. Donovan
Jack Flobeck
Charles Guy
Jan L. Handke
Stephen D. Harris
Scott Harvey
Walter H. Heckelmann
Stephen Hench

Bruce Hughes
Michael Humberd

Chris G. Mendrop
Brian Penn
Dick Standaert
Cris Stoddard
John Stokes
Mary J. Talbott
Grady Vaughn
Michael S. Welsh

I am glad to see that Angela Dougan will be on the committee, she seams like the only council member that looks out for us by doing things like voting against the ugly USOC mural and the $500,000 tennis court cat fight.
It will be interesting to see the resumes to determine if this is an actual balanced task force or a political committee with an agenda.
Why is Tim Leigh not on the committee?
I also hope that the task force remembers that the State of Colorado itself has already done the work they are doing for many, many decades refining their art for the people of Colorado. Their thousands of investigations & decisions in this matter would be a great road map for them to follow rather than “he said, she said”.
Unless the task force finds something the state regulators missed I think it would be wise to defer to the professionals who protect the state for a living rather than cloud the issue with politics.
I would rather have the hundreds of millions of dollars of tax money go to the people of Colorado Springs rather than the Imams in Iran.
Daniel Chacon –
Please keep after Ms.Dougan for those resumes. It will be interesting to see the qualifications these members bring to this effort.
[...] Thirty-seven people applied to serve on the committee, which will study the impacts of oil and gas exploration and examine the city’s need for additional land use and zoning regulations, among other responsibilities. [...]
Daniel, just seeing this – I left you a message (friday) you could pick the resumes up on Friday at noon or later at City Hall did you get them okay? if not I will be in the office Monday and your welcome to them.
