Steve Labossiere
President, CPNMD Board of Directors

Steve Labossiere comes from a military family. He was born in Spain and lived in Europe, the Middle East and throughout the U.S. Steve earned a Bachelor’s Degree of Science in Accounting from the University of Florida. Early in his career, Steve and his wife Resa moved to Luxembourg to work and experience European life. After three years in Luxembourg, Steve and Resa moved to Hungary, where Steve became a founding partner of Deloitte Central Europe (“DCE”), a firm spanning 17 countries which grew to over 1,600 professionals in less than 5 years. Steve was the CFO/COO of DCE Hungary, a business exceeding $45 million in annual revenue and 350 staff.

As an audit and consulting partner, Steve worked with all levels of government, large banks and companies to successfully transition them to Western business, professional and government best practices. He successfully negotiated complicated settlements, resolved disputes among government organizations and oversaw the design and execution of various business, professional and government operational reorganizations. Steve also directed significant business development, corporate governance, risk management and cost-cutting programs in dynamic and unique business environments. Working in Europe, Steve learned to listen carefully, not take anything at face value, and understand issues before making decisions.

Since retiring, Steve actively manages a personal investment portfolio. Steve attributes his success to personal sacrifice, hard work and dedication. He is exceptionally motivated and results-oriented, with strong communication, analytic, and interpersonal skills. He has extensive experience in running businesses, motivating people and succeeding in challenging environments, and is a proven leader who values integrity and thrives on solving complex issues.

Steve and Resa have lived in Forest Park, Castle Pines North since 2004 and enjoy hiking, camping, and fly-fishing with their two British Labrador Retrievers.

In May 2010, despite a five way race, the people of Castle Pines North elected Steve Labossiere to the CPNMD Board of Directors with an overwhelming majority. Subsequently, his Board colleagues unanimously elected Steve as President.

• In the context of CPN City Council's unnecessary and unfortunate application to dissolve CPNMD, one of Steve's top priorities is to complete rigorous, independent dissolution-related cost/benefit and comparative analyses of CPNMD dissolution-related options/partners with CPNMD consultant, StepWise Utility Advisors. Analyses results will serve as the basis for meeting CPNMD's legal obligation to draft and submit a Dissolution Plan to the Douglas County District Court Judge. Steve intends the rigorous, independent analyses and the resulting Dissolution Plan will enable the District Court Judge, and ultimately CPNMD voters, to make thoughtful, informed decisions about if and how to dissolve CPNMD in the most fiscally responsible, thoughtful manner.
• Completing the Interconnect Pipeline Project;
• Securing additional CPNMD renewable water and water storage rights;
• Participating in a new regional water treatment facility;
• Partnering with the South Metro Water Supply Authority on a vital water reclamation and distribution project known as the Water Infrastructure Supply Efficiency (WISE) Project; and
• Continuing to efficiently process and distribute clean, safe and reliable drinking water to CPN homes, schools businesses, neighborhoods and parks.
• Despite vigorous disagreements with CPN City Council about its unnecessary and unfortunate application to dissolve CPNMD and its resulting negative financial ramifications, Steve is committed to building a mutually respectful, functional relationship with the City of CPN and to building on the outstanding relationship CPNMD has with Douglas County.
