ADJOURN AGENDA 1 2 1 Report Utilities Department To: Public Safety, Utilities & Public Works Committee Town Administrator Lancaster From: Utilities Director Bergsten Date: May 11, 2017 RE: Proposed Amendment to Address Small Cellular Attachments to the Electric System Objective: To inform the Committee of our intent to request an amendment to the Municipal Code delegating authority to staff to administratively modify our existing rules and standards. Present Situation: On April 18 the Governor signed HB 17-1193 which enables the installation of small cellular equipment on Light and Power’s poles. The new statute gives cellular providers the right to use our utility facilities subject to the municipality’s requirements. A review of our Municipal Code revealed a need to clarify the administrative authority to establish operational standards and guidelines. Attorney Greg White and Attorney Ken Fellman are working on suggested language. Ken Fellman has expertise in communications and assisted the Town last year in discussions with the Western Area Power Administration. Proposal: After the suggested changes are prepared, we will propose the Town Board consider adopting Municipal Code modifications which will delegate authority to staff to administratively adopt rules and standards. This will allow staff to ensure the continued safety and reliability of our electric service when small cellular equipment is installed on Light and Power’s facilities. Advantages: These devices enable expanded cellular coverage for our citizens and guests. Disadvantages: None. The recommended changes will enable staff to ensure the continued safety and reliability of our electric service. Action Recommended: None, informational only 3 2 Budget: None. The existing 2017 budget is adequate. Level of Public Interest Low. This enables staff to maintain daily operations which our customers expect from us. However, future changes to the Development Code will be necessary. Those changes may generate a higher level of public interest. Recommended Motion: Not Applicable. 4 PUBLIC WORKS Memo To: PUP Committee Town Administrator Lancaster From: Brian Berg, Parks Maintenance Supervisor Parks Advisory Board Staff Liaison Date: May 11, 2017 RE: Art In Public Places: Veterans Monument Park – Installation and Naming Request Objective: The purpose of this project is to build a pocket-park that honors veterans from all branches of the United States Armed Services. Present Situation: The Town currently has no veteran’s memorial. The location of the proposed park has an existing picnic pavilion that needs a new roof. Proposal: The Estes Park Veterans Monument Committee is proposing to construct a Veterans Monument park on Town-owned property. The location is west of the Visitor Center where the existing picnic pavilion is located. The pavilion will be removed and replaced with two stone picnic tables, stone paths, bronze plaques, and an eagle sculpture as shown in the attached concept design. The committee is proposing to raise all funds for the material and installation of the park. They have asked for construction/maintenance support from the Public Works Parks Division. The committee also requests the new pocket-park be named “Veterans Monument Park”. This piece of Town land is currently not named. Advantages:  The monument will be a place for all branches of the Armed Services to be recognized while providing beautiful views and riverside seating for years to come.  The project will provide a second picnic table at this popular guest gathering area. Disadvantages:  Increased maintenance costs for the Town.  Loss of a covered picnic shelter along the north side of the Big Thompson River. 5 Staff and Parks Advisory Board Recommendation: Staff and PAB recommend the Town Board accept ownership of the new sculpture and the proposed pocket-park improvements; and, approve naming this area “Veterans Monument Park”. Budget: The Parks Division will incur a nominal increase to their annual bronze cleaning budget to care for the new eagle statue. This cost is estimated to be $150 annually. Level of Public Interest A modest amount of public interest is expected. Recommended Motion: I recommend to the Town Board the Veterans Monument Park application be included on the Consent Agenda / as an Action Item at the May 23, 2017 Town Board meeting.

Glanz 5040 Brandywine Dr. Loveland, CO 80538 Professional Profile I began my career in illustration and fine art photography with the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute after attending Colorado State University and Minneapolis College of Art and Design. My art is known for its energy, movement and technical mastery with a powerful yet elegant quality, drawn from my classical approach to sculpture. I travel extensively to destinations such as Africa, Central and South America, the Galapagos Islands, and the Antarctic, and draw on these experiences in creating my art. My work, which is created in my Loveland studio, ranges in size from table-top to monumental. The editions and commissions grace many private collections, both nationally and internationally, and public art programs. I am an Elected Member of the National Sculpture Society (NSS), National Sculptors’ Guild Member, and a Signature Member of the Society of Animal Artists (SAA).
