2025 Energy & Environment Symposium - Oil and Gas Education for Local Govt
The symposium program is especially designed for local elected officials, city and county managers, planners, finance officers, attorneys, oil and gas specialists and those who work with or regulate the energy industry on behalf of local governments.
We again are providing Continuing Education credits for attorneys and planners!
As local government officials, we all know oil and gas development is an important part of Colorado's economy. Garfield County and The Unconventional Energy Center at Colorado Mesa University present this symposium to enhance your knowledge of issues common to local governments navigating oil and gas extraction. This learning event will provide opportunity for open dialog with your peers about managing financial, social, environmental, legal and land use planning issues surrounding oil and gas operations.
Housing Strategies Peer Exchange
The Community Development Office within DOLA/DLG is hosting a monthly peer exchange series for local governments working on affordable housing strategies and land use issues. This interactive virtual series will take place on the third Thursday of each month from 9-10 a.m.
The intent of the series is to provide a forum for sharing challenges, successes, and innovative approaches – to learn from peer communities across Colorado who are implementing solutions to local housing challenges. Each month will feature a different topic with brief presentations from selected Colorado communities, with ample time allowed for questions and discussion.
Topics will be selected based on participant input.
Register for the series to add the Zoom event to your calendar and receive updates about future scheduled topics.
Web Skills & Platforms for Planners
As planners increasingly embrace digital tools, understanding the workings behind the web has become crucial. Just as “Code is the new concrete,” planners who understand the “infrastructure” of websites can more effectively engage with digital platforms to serve their communities. This webinar, Planning Webcast: Web Skills for Planners, will provide an essential foundation in web skills, equipping participants to evaluate, design, deploy, and maintain websites. Participants will gain insights into everything from user-friendly design principles to back-end fundamentals, collaboration with web developers , or key no-code platforms. The session will also highlight web tools like Google Sites, Wix, and AI-driven resources that simplify coding and optimize functionality. With knowledge of these tools, planners can confidently navigate and harness the potential of web technology to enhance their planning efforts. A Q&A will follow. The goal of this webinar is to equip planners with essential web skills and knowledge, enabling them to effectively evaluate, design, deploy, and maintain websites. Participants will also learn how to collaborate with web developers and utilize online tools to enhance their planning efforts through websites.

Flint Water Crisis Deep-Dive: Lessons Learned. Presented by EPA’s Former Flint Emergency Coordinator
This drinking water training is presented by the United States Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) former Flint Safe Drinking Water Act Emergency Coordinator. The role of the coordinator was to ensure safe drinking water for the people of Flint. The coordinator worked with the City of Flint, Flint’s public water system, & the state of Michigan to ensure compliance with EPA’s Safe Drinking Water Act & EPA’s drinking water enforcement authorities.
This online drinking water training will provide you with a fundamental understanding of underlying regulatory and technical decisions that led to Flint’s disaster. By improving your overall knowledge of the water crisis you will be able to prevent similar, irresponsible decisions from impacting other communities. A comprehensive understanding of what happened in Flint will enable us to make better public health decisions, improve the quality of drinking water, and increase efforts to replace lead service lines in communities.
This training is hosted by Environmental & Public Health International. If you have additional questions please contact us. You will also be able to provide feedback after the training. You can find our terms and policies on our website.
