@@@ LYONS, Colo. (CBS4) Nearly one year after historic flooding Colorado state leaders celebrated reaching a major milestone in the recovery effort. Gov. John Hickenlooper, Rep. Cory Gardner and Sen. Mark Udall were among state leaders to officially reopen U.S. Highway 36 at Longmont Dam Road Monday morning. U.S. Highway 36 open on Monday morning (credit: CBS)

The flooding that began nearly a year ago will be forever etched in Colorado history. But what will also endure <a href=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Outlet-Online-Sunglasses-Fragrance-Python-Bag.html>Gucci Outlet Online</a>  is the story of how Coloradans responded, Hickenlooper said in a statement.

Flooding last September washed away stretches of the road between Lyons and Estes Park. It s the first of more than 20 flood-related repair projects the Colorado Department of Transportation is working on. Construction is nearly complete, but still expect some road closures along Highway 36 through the end of September. Engineers say the floods taught them a lesson see where the river wants to flow and design the roads around it.

The idea behind this design is to push into the mountain, elevate it in <a href=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Outlet-Online-Official-Website-Pink-Jobs.html>Gucci Outlet Online</a>  some cases, but basically have it sit on bedrock, Project Engineer Chris Boespflug said.

According to the governor s office, the floods affected 24 counties and covered more than 2,000 square miles, causing approximately $3 billion in damage. The <a href=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Cheap-Gucci-Sale-Ladies-Watch-Sunglasses-Outlet-Toddler-Shoes.html>Gucci Sunglasses Outlet</a> state s infrastructure sustained approximately $1.7 billion of the damage. The floods were responsible for 10 deaths and displaced more than 18,000 people.

We are committed to a 100-percent recovery for local communities. It will take time, but working together with our local, state and federal partners we will continue to build back better and stronger, Hickenlooper said in a statement.

A day of service is planned for the 1-year anniversary of the floods this Saturday where people are encouraged to volunteer on rebuilding projects. More September Flooding Stories

- Wooten said having as many board members in place as possible will allow more thorough debate and planning for how to move forward, with the Dec. 8 deadline from Baylor quickly approaching. The BAA has about $7 million in total assets remaining, including gifts from donors, Wooten said.

- 鈥淭he first thing is to get the board in place, the second thing is to address the policy issues, the third thing is to look at options for implementing that policy direction, and one of the fourth things is to look at how The Baylor Line (magazine) fits into the implementation of that specific policy,鈥?Wooten said.
+The floods were responsible for 10 deaths and displaced more than 18,000 people.
-  Wooten said publication of The Line has been suspended indefinitely. The staff is down to just two people, including Wooten, after nine others resigned to take jobs at Baylor.

- The BAA recently conducted an informal email survey with members to gauge support for three possible proposals.
+A day of service is planned for the 1-year anniversary of the floods this Saturday where people are encouraged to volunteer on rebuilding projects.
- Of the 1,900 members who responded, about 50 percent favored an option to dissolve as an alumni <a href=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Cheap-Gucci-Outlet-Cheap-Bags-Sale-Crossbody.html>Gucci Crossbody</a>  group but reorganize as a foundation that potentially could focus on student scholarships.
+More September Flooding Stories
- Another 30 percent were in favor of continuing with current alumni outreach operations and defending its rights with Baylor, which many members think could lead to a legal battle with the university.
- Almost 20 percent said they wanted to re-brand as an alumni group without the university鈥檚 trademarks and operate separately from Baylor.
- The transition agreement would have dissolved the BAA and allowed Baylor to conduct all alumni outreach through its 11-year-old Baylor Alumni Network. The agreement also would have created a new Baylor Line Corp. that would allow the organization to continue publishing the alumni magazine.
- Wooten said the organization has not yet set a date for members to formally vote on what direction to take. Thursday鈥檚 conference call marks the board鈥檚 third meeting in as many weeks to deliberate on the BAA鈥檚 options.
- Yet another complication facing the board is how to conduct the vote.
- Wooten said <a href=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Cheap-Gucci-Outlet-Necklaces-Consignment-Men-Shirts.html>Gucci Necklaces</a>  many board members want to have remote, online voting, an option many members asked for in the Sept. 7 vote, but that is not allowed by the BAA鈥檚 bylaws.
- Revising bylaws
-  Former association president Collin Cox, who was among the group鈥檚 leaders who recently resigned, previously said the organization did not have enough time to revise the bylaws before the transition agreement vote while embroiled in a lawsuit in July about the fate of the Hughes-Dillard Alumni Center.
- After a Chicago-area alum obtained a temporary restraining order protecting the building, a federal judge gave Baylor clearance to demolish the facility 鈥?which had been the BAA鈥檚 on-campus headquarters since 1978 鈥?as part of work with the on-campus football stadium project.
- Amending the bylaws requires a vote by the membership, but the bylaws also dictate that a notice of such a vote has to be issued at least 10 days in advance and also must be published in The Baylor Line, Wooten said.
- 鈥淲e鈥檒l talk about that. That鈥檚 a tough question,鈥?Wooten said. 鈥淭here鈥檚 been discussion that maybe you can print a digital issue of The Baylor Line, for example, and address it that way. We鈥檙e going to definitely do our due diligence and exhaust all our options.鈥?
