ACTION ITEMS:
1. RESOLUTION 100-25 OFFICIALLY SCHEDULING THE REGULAR MUNICIPAL
ELECTION – APRIL 7, 2026. Town Clerk Williamson stated Resolution 100-25 would
officially set the regular municipal election, determine the election method (poll vs.
ballot) and identify the Town Clerk as the designated election official (DEO). The
Municipal Election Code provides that all regular elections in statutory towns are to be
held on the first Tuesday of April in each even-numbered year and must set the
election through resolution as outlined in the Colorado Revised Statute (CRS). She
stated the Town has consistently held mail ballot elections in the past resulting in
significantly higher turnout. She added Colorado voters have become accustom to
mail elections since the State of Colorado became an all-mail ballot state in 2013.
She stated voter turnout for Estes Park as a mail ballot election typically results in
higher voter turnout. The cost of the election was budgeted through the adoption of
the 2026 budget at $35,000 in the Town Clerk fund. The ballot would contain Trustee
positions for Mayor Pro Tem Marie Cenac (term limited), Trustee Kirby Hazelton
(completing 1st term), and Trustee Bill Brown (completing a partial term) A Candidate
Forum would be held in the Town Hall Board Room on January 6, 2026. The Board
requested the cost comparison for holding a mail ballot versus poll election and
whether staff have received any input from the public requesting or stating interest in
a poll election. It was moved and seconded (Lancaster/Cenac) to approve
Resolution 100-25, and it passed unanimously.
REPORTS & DISCUSSION
1. ORGANIZATIONAL HOUSING PLAN UPDATE. Manager Bangs stated in response
to the Organizational Housing Plan, the Town had increased available housing to the
workforce through Town-owned units, and units available through the Estes Park
Housing Authority (EPHA). Although a master-lease option for Town staff was
available through the EPHA bringing Town employees at or near the top of the list,
this option had not been used as many employees were accessing EPHA housing
without being on a waitlist due to availability. Joint efforts with the EPHA to develop
Town-owned properties at Fish Hatchery and 179 Stanley Circle Drive continue as
these sites have been identified as priority for employee housing for the Town. The
Board were presented two potential future strategies, including annual funding to
EPHA to reserve units for Town employees or develop a long-term arrangement
where the Town would provide land and capital to secure permanently reserved units.
The proposal reflected similar allocation of Town resources going toward employee
housing, with the same land and money dedicated to the development at 179 Stanley
Circle Drive. Staff requested Board interest in transferring 179 Stanley Circle Drive to
the EPHA and $2 million in one-time direct funding. The Town, in return, would be
provided with 12 Town employee units among EPHA’s various workforce restricted
developments. Staff stated the proposal offers more flexibility and efficiency among
the various properties managed by EPHA, reducing vacancies and distributing Town
employees throughout the community, rather than housing them all at one location.
Staff requested Board direction on exploring a formal agreement with EPHA for the
DRA
F
T
Board of Trustees – November 25, 2025 – Page 3
transfer of Town-owned property, 179 Stanley Circle Drive. Management, leases,
collection oversight would be handled exclusively by the EPHA. Loss of direct control
was identified as a potential disadvantage to transferring the property to the EPHA.
Board comments and questions have been summarized: Who would own the property
after the transfer; how the fair housing law may affect financing; concerns were heard
related to the property no longer being a Town asset; whether staff knew of any other
community making a similar move in transferring an asset and securing workforce
housing options; priority given to Town employees over the public may be an issue;
the Board stated private employers may want to do something similar with the EPHA;
any known or potential annual cost to maintain the relationship and the 12 units;
concerns were heard related to the $2 million transfer; what would happen when units
are at capacity if the Town needs housing, the type of units available to the Town and
any variety; questioned the current value of 179 Stanley Circle Drive; interest was
heard in an appraisal on the property; concerns if the property was rezoned; EPHA
Board input on the proposal; and the need to address any rezoning impacts with the
passing of Ballot Question 300. Town Administrator Machalek spoke regarding the
value of 12 available units for Town staff compared to the cost to develop the units
which was estimated at $7.9 million, and he confirmed there would be no additional
annual administrative costs for the units to the Town. Town Attorney Kramer stated
the agreement would run with the land as a right to use the property and if the Board
was interested, staff would draft an agreement which clearly outlined any specific
provisions.

2025.

GUIDING PHILOSOPHY FOR EVENTS.
Management Analyst Simpson conducted research on how other municipalities across
the state handle events; conducted stakeholder interviews with the Events and Visitor
Services Department, the Estes Chamber of Commerce, Visit Estes Park; and
conducted a survey with the intent to gauge the resident and business sentiment on
events in Estes Park to assist with developing a guiding philosophy for events that
includes consideration of the impact on businesses and the community as outlined in
the Town Board’s 2025 Strategic Plan. The research demonstrated that Estes Park
remains unique, specifically the type of events, the number and size of events, and
variety of event venues. A key component to the success of events continues to be
collaboration and ensuring a benefit to the town, whether through cultural, economic, or
recreational experiences. Key public feedback from the survey outlined mostly
excellent to good ratings for events, with 50% of respondents satisfied with the number
of current events, while 40% stated there should be fewer, and 10% would like more
events. Top concerns related to events included traffic, parking, alcohol, and crowds.
The overall impact of downtown events on businesses was rated at 38% neutral, 22%
positive, and 19% negative, and the overall impact of events on the local business
community was rated 58% positive, 15% extremely positive, 12% neutral and 6%
negative. She noted the overall sentiment on events remains positive, while the impact
to businesses was neutral. A guiding principal document was provided with elements
including collaboration, showcasing the town’s unique community, celebrating local
culture, arts and recreation, being a good steward to the environment, prioritize local
vendors and encourage visitation to local businesses, provide a safe and positive
experience, reserve Bond Park for civic uses/support, assist organizers in producing
successful events, minimize adverse impacts on neighborhoods, businesses and public
services, Police support, reduce the number of arts and crafts festivals in Bond Park,
and no new alcohol-centered events or reduce the number of current such events.
Board discussion and questions were heard and summarized: questioned how other
communities manage events; whether new events would require Town Board approval
if the philosophy was adopted through policy, and it was noted by staff that a master
plan approach with guidelines for staff rather than a regulatory document may be the
best approach and review the plan every two years; noted a need to limit the number of
new alcohol festivals but retain the current successful events; stated a need for events
that create a higher value for the community; concern was heard on limiting the number
of arts and crafts festivals because they bring people to town, however, it was noted the
quality of the events should be considered; the guidelines should take a case-by-case
DRA
F
T
Town Board Study Session – November 25, 2025 – Page 2
approach to private events and events the Town may want to partner in; political and
fee speech events should be addressed in the guidelines; questioned the Town’s
philosophy with road events and a need to permit such events; questioned if alcohol
events could be moved to the Event Center, and it was noted that events are date
specific and the Event Center may already be booked; the Town should encourage
family-friendly events; requested clarification on limiting religious and political protests;
commented on the need to quantify success of an event rather than focusing on the
number of attendees; and supported the survey comments requesting additional winter
events.
Staff would bring forward a master plan for events for Board consideration at the
December 9, 2025 meeting.
TOWN FOCUS GROUPS.
Town Administrator Machalek stated the Town Board has suggested the utilization of
ad-hoc focus groups to gather feedback on major projects. If established, the ad-hoc
focus groups would be advisory bodies appointed by the Town Board for a specific
purpose/project and a limited time-period, typically through the completion of a project.
Staff requested direction on how the groups should be established, the appointment
process, Town Board representation, bylaws/charter, and facilitation of the groups
should the Board reach consensus to establish ad-hoc committees with a revision to
Policy 102.
Board discussion and questions were heard and summarized: noted that ad-hoc focus
groups would be one tool that could be used by the Board to solicit feedback; the
appointment process should be flexible and driven by the topic to ensure proper
representation or expertise; in lieu of a Board liaison, it was suggested a facilitator from
Restorative Justice could be present along with a staff member; bylaws or a charter for
each focus group would assist with scope creep; the structure of the focus group should
be considered as it may limit participation; there remains a need for longer term
engagement through community conversations rather than ad-hoc focus groups which
would also allow for a broader community voice; and concern was raised on the amount
of staff time ad-hoc committees may entail.
Staff would bring the item to a study session in early 2026 for further discussion.
FUTURE STUDY SESSION AGENDA ITEMS.
Trustee Lancaster requested a discussion on the difference between a mural and a
sign.

Memo
To: Honorable Mayor Hall & Board of Trustees
Through: Town Administrator Machalek
From: Carlie Bangs, Housing and Childcare Manager
Laura Blevins, Grants Specialist
Department: Town Administration
Date: December 9, 2025
Subject: Resolution 101-25 Grant Agreement with the Colorado Department of
Local Affairs for the Housing Planning Grant
Type: Resolution
Objective:
By leveraging funds from the 6E Lodging Tax revenue and a grant award from the
Colorado Department of Local Affairs (DOLA), the Town seeks to develop a Housing
Action Plan. This work would be done in partnership and close coordination with the
Estes Park Housing Authority.
Present Situation:
On September 11, 2025, the Town was awarded $75,000 from the Colorado
Department of Local Affairs (DOLA), which offers assistance to local governments with
funding from SB24-174. The Housing Planning Grant Program provides grants to local
governments and regional entities to help them better understand their housing needs
and develop actionable and compliant Housing Needs Assessments, Housing Action
Plans, and comprehensive plan strategic growth elements. The funding received will
support our efforts to meet the requirements of SB 24-174. The development of a
Housing Action Plan is required to be responsive and build on the Estes Valley Housing
Needs Assessment conducted in 2023.
Working in close partnership with the Housing Authority, the Town will develop a plan
that promotes the equitable and efficient development of housing to satisfy the housing
needs at various income levels and provide goals, strategies, and actions for promoting
the production and preservation of affordable housing. Additional public outreach will
build off qualitative and quantitative data gathered through the Comprehensive Plan
outreach, Community Survey, and Annual 6E Funding Plan outreach.
Proposal:
Staff recommends approval of the grant agreement with DOLA as presented, and
requests that we retain $25,000 of the 6E Lodging Tax for workforce housing as a
“match” to the grant. $25,000 and the additional $75,000 from DOLA will support hiring
a consultant to meet the current requirements for the Town’s Housing Needs
Assessment conducted in 2023 and create a Housing Action Plan.
Advantages:
Adherence to the requirements outlined in Senate Bill 24-174.
Disadvantages:
Applying for and receiving grant funding is accompanied by additional administrative
burdens; however, Town staff have experience managing this type of grant.
Action Recommended:
Staff recommend Town Board approval of Resolution 101-25.
Finance/Resource Impact:
DOLA contribution is $75,000, locally matched with $25,000 of 6E Lodging Tax
Revenue from account 270-419-1945-29.80, pending a budget amendment in 2026.
Level of Public Interest:
Low.
Sample Motion:
I move for the approval/denial of Resolution 101-25.
Attachments:
1. Resolution 101-25 HPLN Grant
2. HPLN Grant Agreement

Memo
To: Honorable Mayor Hall & Board of Trustees
Through: Town Administrator Machalek
From: Carlie Bangs, Housing and Childcare Manager
Laura Blevins, Grants Specialist
Department: Town Administration
Date: December 9, 2025
Subject: Resolution 102-25 Grant Agreement with the Department of Local Affairs
for the Child Care Planning Grant
Type: Resolution
Objective:
By leveraging funds from the 6E Lodging Tax revenue and grant award from the
Department of Local Affairs (DOLA), the Town seeks to develop a Childcare Facility
Master Plan.
Present Situation:
On October 23, 2025, the Town was awarded $75,000 in Department of Local Affairs
(DOLA) Child Care Planning Grant. The Planning Grant Program, enacted by HB-1237,
provides grants to local governments to help them better understand childcare needs
and respond by adopting policy and regulatory strategies. Specifically, the program
funds local governments to retain consultants or related professional services to assess
childcare needs or to make changes to their policies, programs, development review
process, land use codes, and related rules and regulations to promote childcare facility
development.
The Town will develop a plan to direct funds and investment strategies to increase
childcare capacity through the development of facilities. In addition to master planning,
staff will develop a budget and policies to manage and operate Town-owned childcare
facilities.
Proposal:
The formalization of a Childcare Facility Master Plan will provide a sustainable
framework for the operation, management, and long-term viability of childcare facilities
in the Estes Valley. Collaboration with consultants and grant funding to support the work
done by Town staff is essential to the successes we’ve seen in our community.
Town staff recommends approval of the grant agreement with DOLA as presented. The
Town will receive the first installment of $46,100 under the attached agreement, with the
remaining $28,900 to be received at a later date. The Planning Grant will be used to
develop a Childcare Facility Master Plan with the support of a consulting firm.
Advantages:
Supports the DOLA Local Childcare Grant efforts to assess the needs of local
government and promote childcare facility development.
Leverage 6E Lodging Tax revenue to receive expertise and professional services for
long-term planning efforts
Disadvantages:
None.
Action Recommended:
Town staff recommend Town Board approval of Resolution 102-25.
Finance/Resource Impact:
DOLA contribution of $75,000 must be matched with $25,000 of 6E Lodging Tax
revenue from accounts 270-419-1948-75-29, pending a budget amendment in 2026.
Level of Public Interest:
Low.
Sample Motion:
I move for the approval/denial of Resolution 102-25.
Attachments:
1. Resolution 102-25
2. DOLA Grant Agreement

Memo
To: Honorable Mayor Hall & Board of Trustees
Through: Town Administrator Machalek
From: Paul Hornbeck, Senior Planner
Department: Community Development
Date: December 9, 2025
Subject: Ordinance 19-25 Amending Estes Park Municipal Code Section 13.24.120
Regarding Extraterritorial Water Service
Type: Public Hearing, Ordinance
Objective:
Consider an amendment to the Municipal Code regarding extraterritorial water service.
Present Situation:
In creating an annexation policy, staff identified potential amendments to Municipal
Code Section 13.24.120 as it relates to annexation.
Proposal:
Proposed modifications include:
• State annexation “is required” for extraterritorial water service, rather than “if
required”
• Assigns Town Board as the decision maker to waive the annexation
requirement. If the Town Administrator finds annexation is not in the best
interest of the Town, they may present that finding to the Board, who may
waive annexation.
The code currently requires properties ineligible for annexation that are seeking water
service execute an agreement to annex when eligible. This section remains unchanged,
but is separated into a different subsection
Advantages:
Adds clarity and designates Town Board as decision-maker.
Disadvantages:
Staff has not identified any disadvantages.
Finance/Resource Impact:
None.

90 days from project application to decision is FAST for large, complex projects with considerable
community impact (e.g. PUDs). It leaves little time or opportunity for community overview and is
definitely not enough time to revise plans in response to community concerns. The central problem
is that community input is not solicited until after plans are developed and applications are
submitted. Then there is a 15 day lag as public notices are published before there is any public
meeting.
The only way to get meaningful public input on expedited projects would be to amend the process.
Perhaps make public feedback part of the pre-application process; on plans at the 30% stage
and/or at the pre-application meeting with the Planning Division. Perhaps use a public-private
partnership to facilitate these meetings. Perhaps set up social media pages for the projects so that
there can be virtual community conversations on pros, cons and alternatives. Perhaps expand the
Planning Division website to post ALL relevant documents (e.g. Public Works analyses) as they
come through the Planning Division.
In the intertest of securing the $50,000 bonus for adoption of a policy before 2026, the Resolution
could be amended in the “Be It Resolved” section by adding a numbered item something like this:
3. The Community Development Director, the Town Administrator or their respective designees
shall determine modifications for Town processes that will permit timely and meaningful
community input and overview for expedited applications.

Memo
To: Honorable Mayor Hall & Board of Trustees
Through: Town Administrator Machalek
From: Paul Hornbeck, Senior Planner
Department: Community Development
Date: December 9, 2025
Subject: Policy 403 Annexation
Type: Policy
Objective:
To consider adoption of a policy to establish a guiding framework for annexation.
Present Situation:
Adoption of an annexation policy is a recommended action in the Estes Forward
Comprehensive Plan and is an objective in the 2025 Strategic Plan. Town Board has
provided direction on the policy at study sessions held on September 30, 2025 and
October 28, 2025.
Proposal:
The intent of the annexation policy is to provide high level guidance to Town Board,
staff, property owners, and the community members regarding factors to consider with
prospective annexations. It will serve as a guiding framework and not a regulatory
document. Individual annexations could be considered for consistency with the policy,
but the policy would not mandate that annexations meet any or all criteria in the policy
or replace Town Board’s discretion.
Advantages:
The annexation policy would help provide consistency and clarity for those involved in
the annexation process.
Disadvantages:
Staff has not identified any disadvantages.
Action Recommended:
Adopt the annexation policy.
Finance/Resource Impact:
None.
Level of Public Interest:
There has been little public interest thus far.
Sample Motion:
I move for the approval/denial of Policy 403.

Annexation
1.PURPOSE
This Annexation Policy establishes priorities for considering annexations to the Town of
Estes Park. It is designed to ensure that annexation decisions align with the Town’s
Comprehensive Plan vision and themes for resiliency. This Policy provides high level
guidance to Town Board, staff, property owners, and community members regarding
factors to consider with prospective annexations. It shall serve as a guiding document
and not a regulatory framework. Individual annexations should be considered for
consistency with this Policy; however, annexation is at the discretion of Town Board and
is not governed by this policy.
2. POLICY
Decisions on annexation should be guided by the following:
a.Natural Environment
i.Goal
Use annexation as a tool to protect and enhance the Town’s natural resources
and sensitive environmental areas.
ii.Policy Statements
1)Annexation should prioritize the protection of environmentally sensitive lands,
including watersheds, forests, wildlife habitats, and recreation areas.
2)Where appropriate, annexed lands should include dedication of parkland,
open space, or conservation easements to preserve natural features.
3)Annexation should consider and mitigate risks from natural hazards such as
flooding and wildfire.
b.Built Environment
i.Goal
Promote a built environment that enhances the Town’s character, livability, and
long-term infrastructure sustainability.
Attachment 1
Policy 403 – Annexation 12/3/25
Revisions: 0 Town of Estes Park, Community Development Page 2 of 4
ii. Policy Statements
1) Annexation should align with the Town’s Future Land Use Map and other
adopted planning documents.
2) Land uses proposed within annexed areas should contribute to a balanced,
diverse, and compatible mix of development in Town.
3) Annexation proposals should not place an undue burden on existing public
services or utilities. All necessary infrastructure upgrades or extensions
should be funded by the annexing property.
The Town may require infrastructure studies to evaluate service impacts
before approving an annexation.
c. Economy
i. Goal
Strengthen the Town’s fiscal health and economic diversity through strategic
annexations.
ii. Policy Statements
1) Annexation should contribute to economic development by introducing or
supporting uses that diversify the local economy or fill unmet commercial or
service needs.
2) Proposals should demonstrate a clear benefit to Town finances, including
how anticipated tax revenues will cover the cost of providing services and
maintaining infrastructure.
3) Annexation should support job creation, tourism, or commercial development
consistent with the vision of balancing the needs of local residents, visitors,
and protecting the natural environment.
d. Housing
i. Goal
Expand the supply of workforce and attainable housing through annexation.
ii. Policy Statements
1) Where feasible, annexation should accommodate a variety of housing sizes,
types, densities, and prices.
2) Where appropriate, the Town should consider using annexation agreements
as a tool to require a certain percentage of new housing be deed restricted as
workforce or attainable housing.
3) Where appropriate, annexations generating new jobs should contribute to
housing solutions for employees, such as employee housing.
Policy 403 – Annexation 12/3/25
Revisions: 0 Town of Estes Park, Community Development Page 3 of 4
e. Transportation & Infrastructure
i. Goal
Ensure annexations support resilient infrastructure and efficient service delivery.
ii. Policy Statements
1) Annexed areas should facilitate improvements identified in the Transportation
Master Plan or required by the Development Code.
2) The Town should avoid annexing streets or infrastructure that are not up to
Town standards unless an improvement plan is provided and funded by the
annexing party.
3) Annexations that reduce enclaves or eliminate patchwork boundaries
between the Town and the County are preferred to improve service efficiency
(e.g., police and street maintenance).
4) When annexing land, adjacent right-of-way should generally be included with
the annexation so the Town can provide maintenance, law enforcement, and
services to serve adjacent residents, rather relying on County services.
f. Enclave Annexations
When an unincorporated area has been completely surrounded by a municipality for
a minimum of three years, the municipality may annex the area by ordinance, with or
without the consent of the affected property owners. Annexation of enclaves promotes
the efficient delivery of government services and coordinated land use planning. It also
helps avoid a fragmented approach that can occur when multiple jurisdictions govern
a small area. A single governing authority is typically more effective and responsive
than a patchwork of agencies. The Town will evaluate involuntary enclave annexations
on a case-by-case basis.
g. Annexation of Properties Subject to Pre-Annexation Agreements
Property owners may enter into pre-annexation agreements committing to annexation
once their property becomes eligible. These agreements may be a condition for
receiving Town water service outside the municipal boundaries (water tap agreement)
or for approval of development within the County. Although these agreements are
intended to run with the land, they may expire over time or go unnoticed by Town staff
or new property owners. To avoid such issues and ensure clarity, the Town should
pursue annexation promptly upon eligibility unless determined by Town Board or Town
Administrator to not be in the Town’s best interest.
h. Joint Comprehensive Plan
The Town of Estes Park and Larimer County collaborated to develop the Estes
Forward Comprehensive Plan in 2022. The joint Plan allows for a cohesive vision,
adopts common goals, and provides a shared framework for decision making. The
Town should use the Plan as guidance in considering annexations. If either the Town
or County move away from the model of a joint comprehensive plan, the Town should
initiate discussions with the County on an intergovernmental agreement regarding
development and annexation to ensure continued cooperation.

Memo
To: Honorable Mayor Hall & Board of Trustees
Through: Town Administrator Machalek
From: Paul Hornbeck, Senior Planner
Department: Community Development
Date: December 9, 2025
Subject: Resolution 103-25 Coyote Run Subdivision 2nd Filing Final Plat, CMS
Planning & Development, Inc., Frank Theis, Owner/Applicant, Habitat for
Humanity of the St Vrain Valley, Applicant
Type: Public Hearing, Land Use, Resolution, Quasi-Judicial
Objective:
Conduct a public hearing to consider an application for a proposed final subdivision plat
which would create twelve lots in the R (Residential) Zoning District, review the
application for compliance with the Estes Park Development Code (Code), and approve,
deny, or continue the item.
Present Situation:
The Coyote Run Subdivision was approved by Town Board in 2024 and created four
lots. The current application for Coyote Run Subdivision, 2nd Filing proposes to
subdivide Lot 4 into 12 lots. Town Board approved a rezoning of Lot 4 from E-1 (Estate)
to R (Residential) in June, 2025 and approved the preliminary plat for this property on
September 23, 2025. This final plat is consistent with the preliminary plat, including
density, open space, and lot size.
The site is located outside all mapped hazard areas (flood, fire, and geologic) but is
located within an important wildlife habitat area per the 1996 Comprehensive Plan
wildlife map. The Plan mapped the site within a high use area for deer. Moderate slopes
exist on the site, with average grades of approximately 10%.
Proposal:
The applicants request approval of a final subdivision plat to create a 12-lot subdivision.
Proposed lots range in size from approximately 9,000 square feet to 18,000 square feet
and an open space tract of 30,000 square feet. Access is proposed to eleven of the lots
from a new street which aligns with Twin Drive and terminates in a cul-de-sac. Access
to the other lot would be via the existing private driveway to the west.
Per Review Procedures and Standards of the Code, "Subdivisions are approved in two
stages: first, a preliminary subdivision plat is approved, and second, a final subdivision
plat is approved and recorded." Code section 3.2 requires the Planning Commission
review the preliminary plat and make a recommendation to the Town Board, who is the
final decision-making body. The final plat is reviewed by the Town Board only.
Advantages:
The application complies with the relevant standards and criteria set forth below and
with other applicable provisions of the Code. In accordance with Code section 3.9.E.
“Standards for Review”, all subdivision applications shall demonstrate compliance with
the standards and criteria set forth in Chapter 10, "Subdivision Standards," and all other
applicable provisions of the Code.
1. Lots. All lots meet applicable minimum standards for the R Zoning District. Lot
sizes range in size from 9,202 to 18,106 square feet. The minimum lot size in the
R zoning district generally 0.25 acres, or 10,890 square feet. However, with the
provision of a minimum of 15% of the gross land area as private open areas, an
adjusted minimum lot size of 0.21 acres, or 9,148 square feet applies. Therefore,
all proposed lots meet the minimum lot size.
2. Density. Proposed net density equates to approximately three units per acre, in
compliance with the maximum four units per acre.
3. Relationship to Comprehensive Plan. The proposed subdivision is consistent
with the recommendations of the Estes Forward Comprehensive Plan, which
designates suburban estate as the future land use for the property. This category
"is intended for low to medium density single family residential development.”
The Built Form of this category “typically consists of medium-sized single-family
homes on lots that are at least a quarter-acre in size… new homes should be
appropriately scaled for compatibility with existing neighborhood character.”
4. Geologic and Wildfire Hazard Areas. There are no mapped geologic or wildfire
hazard areas identified within this subdivision area.
5. Off-Site Utilities and Services. Public Works, the Water Division, Power and
Communications, Estes Valley Fire Protection District, and Upper Thompson
Sanitation District have reviewed and expressed no objections to the proposed
subdivision.
6. Orientation of Land Uses. The proposed subdivision will be for single-family
residential use, consistent with surrounding uses.
7. Improvements. The code requires all public improvements to either be installed
or financially guaranteed. An Improvement Agreement and the associated
improvements will be secured by letter of credit or cash deposit as part of the
final plat.
8. Compliance with Zoning Development Standards. The Code requires the
layout of lots, driveways, utilities, drainage facilities be designed in a manner
that:
a. Minimizes the land disturbance. Some land disturbance is necessary for
construction of the proposed road and detention pond, but grading
appears minimized to the greatest extent possible.
b. Maximizes the amount of open space in the development. In
accordance with Code requirements, 15% of the gross land area is to be
set aside for common open space. Additional private open space will exist
on individual lots.
c. Preserves existing trees/vegetation and wildlife habitat. Existing
significant trees are shown on the construction plans. None are depicted
as being removed with the subdivision improvements. Individual lots may
have significant trees removed at the time of home construction,
depending on exact siting of buildings.
9. Limits of Disturbance. The Code requires that limits of disturbance (LOD) be
established with the subdivision of land. The subdivision plat indicates limits of
disturbance will be established in the field prior to construction.
10. Streets. A traffic study completed with the rezoning application by the applicants’
traffic engineer found traffic generated by the subdivision does not warrant
improvements to Peak View Drive such as turn lanes. Public Works reviewed the
traffic study with no adverse findings. Street design is consistent with the “Street
Design and Construction Standards” found in Appendix D of the Code.
11. Sidewalks, Pedestrian Connections and Trails. Proposed sidewalk and
pedestrian connections are in compliance with Code requirements. A sidewalk
will be constructed along the internal new street, along with a connection from
the cul-de-sac to the open space. The first filing of Coyote Run Subdivision
required construction of a 10’ wide concrete multiuse path along Peak View Drive
for the length the development. The applicant has two years from approval of that
filing to complete the path, which will also serve the 2nd filing.
12. Wildlife Habitat Protection. As an area identified as important wildlife habitat
(high use area for deer), the Code prohibits non-native plant species. The
landscape plan conforms this requirement. The Code also places limits on
fencing to allow animal passage. No fencing is proposed with the subdivision;
however, a note will be included on the plat to alert future land owners of this
restriction.
13. Private Open Area. The Code requires residential subdivisions containing five
or more lots in the R Zone District to set aside 15% of the gross land area for
open areas. The proposed open space outlot meets this requirement and
includes a detention pond, trail, and benches. Code section 7.4.C.2 indicates
detention ponds may count towards the private open area set-aside requirement
when they are “accessible and usable as community amenities by the public or
the residents of the development (e.g., picnic areas, passive recreation areas,
playgrounds, ponds for fishing and/or boating, etc.).” Staff finds the provision of
benches and wetland plantings qualify as a passive recreation area.
The application complies with the conditions of approval included with the rezoning of
the lot and with the approval of the preliminary plat, which were:
• Consistency with the conceptual subdivision plat with the rezoning;
• Providing a landscape plan to demonstrate conformance with Development Code
Section 7.4.C.2 regarding the detention pond; and
• Deed restricting eight of the lots as attainable. An initial master deed restriction
was recorded in September, 2025 and will need to be amended with the final plat
to specify its applicability to the subject eight lots. The Development Code
requires the plat be submitted for recording within 180 days of Town Board
approval.
Disadvantages:
None identified.
Action Recommended:
Staff recommends Town Board approve the final plat, subject to the following conditions
of approval:
1. Lots 1-2 and 7-12 shall be subject to an amended deed restriction recorded with
the final subdivision plat.
2. Prior to recording, the plat shall be amended to add notes on lots 1-2 and 7-12 as
follows: Lot Subject to Master Deed Restriction; See Surveyor’s Note #4.
Finance/Resource Impact:
Future ongoing expenditures for street maintenance, police service, and other municipal
services will be minor compared existing town-wide expenditures on these items.
Level of Public Interest:
As of this writing no public comments have been received on this application; however,
the previous applications with this property generated a high level of public interest.
In accordance with the notice requirements in the Code, notice of this hearing was
published in the Estes Park Trail-Gazette, on November 21, 2025. Notice was mailed to
all required adjacent property owners on November 21, 2025. A sign was posted on the
property by the applicant.
Sample Motion:
I move for the approval/denial of Resolution 103-25.

Coyote Run Neighborhood meeting
January 11, 2025
Estes Park Library
Frank Theis, property owner and developer of proposed project, introduced himself and outlined
the purpose of the meeting. He then introduced the Co-Applicant, David Emerson, Executive
Director of Habitat for Humanity and Paul Hornbeck, senior planner in Estes Park.
David Emerson then made the following presentation
•Objective – give Habitat’s perspective acknowledging the opposition
o Presented information about Habitat including the following topics:
▪Habitat’s history in the community building homes and arranging affordable
mortgage financing including a very high success rate with homeowners
paying their mortgages (zero foreclosures in 36 years)
▪The industries in which are people work (#1 Healthcare, #2 Education) and
how they are selected.
▪The role we play not just to set the price of the home but to arrange financing
as a certified USDA mortgage lender.
▪The impact to Habitat’s homeowners over the years
▪The types of homes we build
o Presented information about the concept plan and why Habitat believes they can
ensure affordability
•Habitat- focused on land development but also like to rehab when possible.
•We are focused on the 8 households that would need a homeownership opportunity
•What we would be buying is builder ready lots, lots that would be ready to build on. Often
we are doing the land development, Habitat’s current project at Raven was under contract
since 2011 and is just now being built. Builder ready lots allows Habitatto avoid to the risk
and expense of entitlement and infrastructure. The purchase price for these lots are at an
affordable price, and the concept is supported by the comprehensive plan. Habitat will
make sure it is affordable . Habitat would like to make the rezoning approval conditional on
the 8 lots being designated attainable housing. Habitat reported that a master deed
restriction can make it attainable and they sited two past rezoning requests that had
conditions set upon them. One was Raven where an attainable master deed restriction had
to be approved and another was in Lyons where a rezoning was granted as part of a
Development Agreement that spelled out a variety of conditions related to affordability and
preference for those residing in Lyons. This was in response to the 2013 floods.
Habitat gave an overview of agreement with CMS Planning & Development as follows:
•CMS sells 8 lots in a size materially consistent with the concept plan
•CMS bears risk and cost of pursuing a rezoning, replat and installing infrastructure to create
8 builder ready lots
Attachment 6
• CMS agrees to attain habitat’s approval before each submission and to pursue an R
designated rezoning supported by the Estes Forward Comprehensive plan
• CMS and habitat agree to pursue a conditional rezoning predicated on eight lots being
designated attainable
• CMS will provide 0% interest financing at closing so Habitat’s desired out of pocket
expenses are minimized until 7/1/2026 (1/2 sales price) and 7/1/2028 (remainder)
• Purchase price is lower of appraisal or $125K/lot. Habitat believes this to be below market
value to secure builder ready lots without expense 2-3 years in the future.
Habitat then showed a concept plan and the development team took questions.
Questions & Answers
Q: Who is on the application? Is it just CMS or both CMS and Habitat?
Paul Hornbeck reported that a neighborhood meeting is required before an application and
therefore since there is no application it is not clear who the applicant is. However, as it states on
the notice letter, CMS and Habitat are representing themselves as both applicants.
Q: What difference will Habitat make on being the applicant?
David Emerson- Habitat believes in rezoning, we need to ask for rezoning in order to do the
work we do. By being involved in this transaction with a binding agreement Habitat can maximize
the probability that the lots will be developed affordably. We can also work to ask for a conditional
approval of the rezoning that designates the lots as attainable.
Frank- This request is different than the prior request as they are quarter acre lots instead of
1/8 acre lots. . All other lots (3) will also have deed restrictions for work force as he has seen people
in this community who are unable to live here and would like those lots to help with that.
Question and Comment was made – Individual provides affordable rental on his properties. In the
past he would get 20-30 people wanting to rent when he advertised an opening, but now on his
current listing has had only 2 people. He feels like there are a lot of unsold units and does not have
the need anymore. Scott Moulton- ED EP housing authority offered his opinion. He began by asking
the rate the gentleman is charging and he stated $2500 for a 3 beds/ 2 bath house
Scott stated that Estes Valley has had a unhealthy rental and homeownership market in the past.
While we increased the stock of rentals the rental for those homes (market rate) has not brought the
prices down although the increase in supply has started to bring a healthier balance. He believes
$2500 for a 3 bedroom is still a little high for most even though it is probably market. He sees a
significant demand for homeownership with an affordable rate, Habitat does this very well, and the
housing authority is having a hard time providing ownership opportunities. The Housing Authority is
seeing 3-4 bedroom units renting well, but in the next many months and years they want to try to
create a spectrum of housing solutions (both rental and homeownership)
Q: What do people do about the rising costs of insurance? David explained that Habitat’s program
ensures affordability at sale by setting the price (as builder) and arranging the financing (as a USDA
Mortgage Lender). He explained that Habitat will take the taxes, insurance and HOA amounts and
Response from Frank- 1500 SQ feet, 2 car garages, not terrible different from the neighbors,
different styles, and our agreement is to make sure they all have different front elevations so it does
not look cookie cutter,
Comment: An individual stated she represented the Estes Valley Residents Group and read a
statement opposed to the change.
Comment: If we do this in this zone – what is to keep others from doing the same? This takes away
property rights from others in town.
Comment: The purpose of the meeting is to get informed- get us on board or oppose, correct? I
support the argument against rezoning, not that I don’t trust Habitat, I don’t trust Frank, I wouldn’t
vote for this,
Comment: Given the public the basics of the contract, concerned with the 3 other lots and they
could go down even more
Q: What happens to the wildlife? Comment: Concern for the perpetual state of construction-
trucks, etc.?
Response: David Takes time to build with volunteers, will do our best
Q: Would this have an HOA?
Response from David- Yes would have to because it needs to take care of the detention
pond
Comment: Concern with Frank gaining 500K per lot, think he is getting money and using Habitat’s
good name for financial gain
Comment- statement from United Neighborhood in Estes Park opposing rezoning
Response from David- Conditional rezoning – development agreement between town and
developer, outlines the requirements for the developer to have the rezoning requirements,
Q: Are you willing to negotiate the number of lots and houses down so we can help people without
building that many?
Response from Frank- open to that
Q: What keeps a homeowner from selling at a profit?
David gave an overview of past Deed restrictions that govern how a homeowner could sell.
Meeting concluded a little before 5PM as the Library was closing
add that to the mortgage to ensure that the total cost of owning the home is less than 30% of a
household’s gross income. He also explained in his original presentation
Comment: An individual wanted help with Math and asked are they quarter acre lots. There was
back and forth with many and apparent confusion over the amount of houses that could be
developed in the event of rezoning. David and Frank attempted to clarify the concept plan on a
handout that was distributed and the screen (see attachments of those two items).
Conditionally rezoned-
Comment: A resident expressed concern that the 3 larger lots could be further subdivided.
Response: Frank mentioned that the size of those lots would not allow a further subdividing
given their size as any division would result in lower than ¼ acre lots. Paul Hornbeck concurred.
Comment: A resident expressed concern about wildlife and the detention pond
Q: A resident asked if the City ever changed from E1 to R rezoning?
Response: Paul Hornbeck indicated that he did not have the answer to that question as he
would need to research that.
Q: A resident expressed concern that the people Habitat would be bringing in to own these homes
don’t have the experience of living in Estes Park and asked if Habitat rehab houses?
David clarified that Habitat is not bringing in people from outside Estes. That the households buying
these homes are either working in Estes (and likely driving from other places) or living in
unsustainable, unsafe or unaffordable conditions in Estes Park.
Response: from David 213 Bighorn- EPHA invested in the home to make it affordable, rehab,
bought at 400k, put in 98K, sold for $350K
Comment: There was a comment from a resident suggesting this amounts to cluster zoning and
claiming that cluster zoning is illegal in the State of Colorado. They also expressed their opinion that
this property can’t support this much development and we need to preserve the open space
Q: How would habitat manage having 8 more units when they have 5 already?
Response from David- Not going to be building these anytime soon, need to get through the
others first.
Q: Objective of Habitat should blend into the neighborhood- how to do this with E-1 housing next
door? This build will stick out based off the zoning,
Response from David- These homes would be built and sold to those households at 60-80%
AMI which is a little higher AMI than what we currently build for (< 60%). He sited that their architect
is Steve Lane and we will work to build it so it does not stick out. David acknowledged that the term
“blend in” is subjective but we are looking to do 1 story homes with no basements so from the
outside it will look a bit larger. He also expressed his opinion that it is hard to find single story 3 and
4 bedroom homes for homeowners to age in place so this site represents a good opportunity to do
so.

Habitat for Humanity St
Vrain Valley
has built homes in 18
different neighborhoods in
Dacono, Frederick, Erie,
Longmont, Lyons and Estes
Park.
“I have worked with Habitat for
over 12 years and there is no
detectable difference in quality
between their home construction
and other dwellings in the
neighborhoods where they
construct their homes. In fact, in
terms of final quality, our
inspectors consider them as one of
the better builders they encounter
in the field.”
- Chris Allison, former Chief Building Official,
City of Longmont
What is the impact on the value of neighboring homes when a
Habitat home is built near them?
•Habitat sites 11 national studies, conducted over many years, in many different locations;
they all refute the notion that lower income housing has a detrimental affect on
neighboring property values.
•2016 Trulia Research: “There doesn’t go the neighborhood”
Conclusion: “In the nation’s 20 least affordable housing markets, low-income housing
built during a 10-year span shows no effect on nearby home values.”
National Studies
•Habitat has built multiple homes in 14 different neighborhoods in Longmont.
•Three local case studies show a positive impact on real estate values.

Memo
To: Honorable Mayor Hall & Board of Trustees
Through: Town Administrator Machalek
From: Tammy Zimmerman, Finance Director
Department: Finance
Date: December 9, 2025
Subject: Resolution 104-25, Supplemental Budget Appropriations #2 to the 2025
Budget
Type: Resolution
Objective:
To appropriate funding for grant awards, fleet welding tents, utility project closeouts,
additional childcare subsidy grants, additional Prospect Mountain construction loan
interest, Mrs. Walsh’s Garden Pond project, other final year-end adjustments; and
increase the full-time equivalent (FTE) count for a donation-funded Museum position.
Present Situation:
Throughout the year, operational needs and project requirements arise that were not
included in the original budgets such as new grants, capital needs, or evolving program
demands. To ensure continued compliance with budgetary and audit standards,
periodic budget amendments are required to authorize these expenditures and align
appropriations with actual activity.
Proposal:
The following explains the most significant proposed changes in appropriations by
Fund. Additional items may be described in the “Schedule of Budgeted Revenue
Changes” and the “Schedule of Budgeted Appropriation Changes” which are included
as part of Attachment B.
General Fund: Increase of $98,626
Mrs. Walsh’s Garden Pond:
An increase of $98,626 is included for the construction of Mrs. Walsh’s Garden Pond, a
project previously approved by the Town Board. The project will be funded entirely
through restricted donations held in fund balance for Mrs. Walsh’s Garden, which
currently totals $147,407.
Museum – Donation-Funded Part-Time Museum Assistant:
An amendment is also included for the future addition of a part-time Museum Assistant
(0.70 FTE / 28 hours per week). This position will be funded by a $90,000 restricted
donation from the Hondius estate received in 2025. There is no fiscal impact to the 2025
Budget, as hiring is not anticipated until January 2026. A future amendment to the 2026
Budget (estimated at $46,000 for salary and benefits) will be brought forward to
appropriate this funding.
Workforce Housing/Childcare Fund: Increase $360,000:
The proposed amendment includes several grant- and donation-related adjustments:
• Two $100,000 DOLA grants received in 2025:
o Workforce Housing Assistance Action Plan
o Childcare Assistance Master Plan
Each requires a 25% ($25,000) local match, to be funded through fund
balance reserves.
• Childcare Subsidies – Increase of $150,000:
Additional demand for childcare assistance requires expanded appropriations,
funded through existing fund balance reserves.
• Private Donation – $10,000:
A donation from the Frozen Dead Guy Festival will be recognized and
appropriated toward ADA upgrades for Mountain Top Childcare.
• Larimer County Grant Recognition – $1,971,067 Revenue Increase:
This adjustment recognizes the remaining portion of the $2 million Larimer
County grant for the Fish Hatchery workforce housing project. Revenue
recognition is aligned with project expenditures under governmental accounting
standards.
Overall, the Fund reflects $360,000 in expenditure increases supported by a
combination of new grants, donations, and fund balance utilization
Power and Communication Fund: Decrease of $500,000
A $500,000 decrease in expenditure is proposed due to lower-than-anticipated
purchased power supply costs.
Additionally, an increase of $400,000 in field work order revenue is projected based on
activity through year-end.
Water Fund: Decrease of $109,712
The net decrease results from the following adjustments:
• Purchased Water Supply Savings – ($90,000)
• Personnel Adjustments – ($54,000) net reduction
• Interest Expense Increase of $260,000 related to the CoBank construction loan
for the Prospect Mountain Waterline Replacement Project:
• Capital Project Closeouts – ($225,712) decrease
Several water capital projects were closed, shifting approximately $4 million in
remaining funding to the Mall Road Water Loop project.
Water revenue estimates have also been increased by $280,000 based on stronger-
than-projected billing collections.
A CIP project detail sheet is included in Recaps of Proposed Budget Adjustments
attachment, and a PowerPoint presentation will accompany this item for Board review.
Fleet Fund: Increase of $53,000
An increase of $53,000 is proposed to purchase a welding tent and fume extraction
system, to be funded from available Fleet Fund reserves.
Advantages:
• Town will continue to operate In compliance with statutory requirements
regarding municipal budget law
• Proposed projects can continue as planned
• Hiring of staff for donation-specific purpose
Disadvantages:
Use of these funds will expend the Town’s accumulated reserves, reduce future
investment income and possibly limit future flexibility. However, appropriations do not go
below the designated percentage reserves as specified in Policy 601.
Action Recommended:
Staff recommends approval of the 2025 supplemental budget appropriation #2
resolution.
Finance/Resource Impact:
After reflecting this budget amendment, the General Fund reserves are projected at
36.4% of 2025 operating expenditures:
Level of Public Interest:
Minimal. No comments received or expected.
Sample Motion:
I move for the approval/denial of Resolution 104-25 appropriating additional sums of
money for the Town of Estes Park for the budget year ended December 31, 2025.

Memo
To: Honorable Mayor Hall & Board of Trustees
Through: Town Administrator Machalek
From: Manager Bangs
Department: Administration
Date: December 9, 2025
Subject: Resolution 105-25 Establishing an Expedited Review Process for
Affordable Housing Projects
Type: Resolution
Objective:
Consider a resolution to adopt an expedited review process for affordable housing
projects in the Estes Valley to ensure compliance with Proposition 123.
Present Situation:
The Town affirmed its commitment to expanding affordable housing by opting into
Proposition 123 following its approval in 2022. Proposition 123 established an
Affordable Housing Fund to support local governments across Colorado in the
development and preservation of affordable units. As a community that opted in to “Prop
123,” the Town has secured funding through this program.
As a condition of participation, all enrolled communities are required to implement an
expedited review process for qualifying affordable housing projects. This process must
be formally adopted no later than December 31, 2026. Communities that finalize and
adopt their expedited review process by the end of 2025 are eligible to receive a
$50,000 incentive.
Proposal:
The attached resolution outlines the Town’s commitment to review affordable housing
projects and make a decision within 90 days of a completed application.
Consistent with Proposition 123 and for the purpose of this resolution, “affordable
housing” means:
• Monthly rent is less than or equal to 30% of the monthly income of a household
earning at or below 60% AMI.
• For for-sale units, affordable means that monthly payments are less than or
equal to 30% of the monthly income of the household at or below 100% AMI.
Application types include:
• Development Plan
• Building Permit
• Variance
• Conditional Use Permit
• Special Review Use
• Planned Unit Development
• Construction or Engineering Documents
• Modification of a Development Plan
Proposition 123 requires that 50% of the total units in the project must be designated as
affordable to qualify for the expedited review process. The Community Development
Director or designee will review and decide which applications are eligible for the
expedited review process.
The policy creates no right of approval for any development application, only ensures
the timely review of the affordable housing project.
Advantages:
• Affirm the Town’s obligation to adopt an expedited review policy as a
participating Prop 123 community
Disadvantages:
• None.
Action Recommended:
Staff recommends approval of Resolution 105-25.
Finance/Resource Impact:
Eligible for $50,000 incentive award from DOLA for the early adoption of the Expedited
Review Process.

Memo
To: Honorable Mayor Hall & Board of Trustees
Through: Town Administrator Machalek
From: Suzanna Simpson, Management Analyst
Department: Town Administrator’s Office
Date: December 9, 2025
Subject: Guiding Philosophy for Events
Type: Public Hearing
Objective:
Consideration of a Guiding Philosophy for Events.
Present Situation:
To help develop a guiding philosophy, staff conducted research on how other
municipalities across the state handle events; stakeholder interviews were conducted
with the Events & Visitor Services Department, the Estes Chamber of Commerce, Visit
Estes Park, and the Estes Park Police Department; and a survey was conducted with
the intent to gauge the resident and business sentiment on events in Estes Park.
Staff presented a draft guiding philosophy document based on resident and business
feedback and discussions with key stakeholders at a Study Session on November 25,
2025. The proposed document includes feedback received from the Board.
Proposal:
Staff is proposing that the guiding philosophy be adopted in a master plan format, to
help guide any policies that address events, as well as overall event operations.
Advantages:
• Adoption of a guiding philosophy will demonstrate that the work of the Events &
Visitor Services Department takes into consideration the overall impact of events
on the community.
• The proposed guiding philosophy for events is responsive to community
feedback.
Disadvantages:
• Sentiments may change based on events or extenuating circumstances, so if the
guiding philosophy is too narrow, it may need to be revisited often.
• Aspects of the guiding philosophy may have negative impacts on some existing
events.
Action Recommended:
Staff recommends approval of the guiding philosophy.
Finance/Resource Impact:
None
Level of Public Interest:
Medium
Sample Motion:
I move for the approval/denial of the guiding philosophy for events.
Attachments:
1. Guiding Philosophy for Events
2. Guiding Philosophy for Events Report
Guiding Philosophy for Events
The Town of Estes Park produces and supports events that showcase the unique community of
Estes Park and support our local economy and nonprofits. Events are designed to celebrate
local culture, arts, and recreation, while providing a safe and positive experience for residents
and visitors alike. Events & Visitor Services staff will prioritize collaboration at all stages of the
event process - planning, execution, and evaluation, environmental sustainability and work to
mitigate any adverse impact of events on neighborhoods, businesses, and public services. Event
success for the Town means high quality events that are in keeping with the spirit of the
community and contribute to a vibrant economy.
Guiding Principles
Prioritize Collaboration: The Events & Visitor Services team works with both internal and
external partners on event planning, execution, and evaluation. This collaboration helps ensure
that adverse impacts are mitigated and that all stakeholders have an opportunity to engage in
each stage of the process.
Focus on Events that Showcase our Unique Community and Celebrate Local Culture, Arts, and
Recreation: The Town’s signature events are popular and appreciated by locals and visitors
alike. These events should showcase the unique and diverse aspects of our community, from
Bigfoot Days, to the Rooftop Rodeo, to Catch the Glow, each signature event highlights a fun
and unique aspect of Estes Park. Events are intended to celebrate our local culture, arts, and
recreation. The Town will prioritize local vendors when possible and will encourage all
attendees at the Town’s signature events to visit and patronize local businesses.
Attachment 1
Reduce the Prominence of Alcohol at Events: The Town will not add any new events that would
be considered “alcohol-centric” through title or substance, will re-evaluate current events for
ways that the prominence of alcohol may be reduced, and will discourage the use of Town-
owned event facilities for private events that are solely focused on alcohol consumption.
Reserve Bond Park for Civic Uses/Support: Bond Park should only be used for civic uses,
publicly-owned events, or events that support local nonprofits. Efforts should be made to
ensure that Bond Park events are not repetitive or generic.
Exercise Good Stewardship for the Community: Our events should invite visitors to engage
responsibly with our mountain community and balance celebration with stewardship. Events &
Visitor Services staff will prioritize efforts to reduce waste, and work with internal and external
partners to manage traffic, parking, and transportation, as well as mitigate adverse impacts on
neighborhoods, businesses, and overall public services. While Town financial resources should
be focused on Town signature events, partnership opportunities will be evaluated on a case-by-
case basis. The Town will manage and be attentive to road closures and will work to mitigate
impacts of large events on private property.
Assist Outside Event Organizers in Producing Successful Events: Events & Visitor Services staff
will help outside event organizers produce successful events by serving as a resource for
planning, permitting, and execution, keeping all elements of the guiding philosophy in mind
throughout the process.
Prioritize Public Safety: Events & Visitor Services will work closely with the Estes Park Police
Department to ensure that all attendees have a safe and positive event experience. The police
department will always respond to public safety incidents, but they do not have the resources
to provide continuous security at events. Event organizers that request this level of security for
their events will be required to fund these resources. The overall safety and security of the
town will not be compromised based on the individual needs of a specific event.
Political, Religious, and First Amendment Gatherings: The Town will work to manage events
while respecting the constitutional rights of our residents and guests.
Implementation
The guiding philosophy is to be approached like a Town Master Plan. Implementation will rely
on policy and operational decisions.
Board Review
The guiding philosophy will be reviewed with each new Town Board and will be shared with
new members during the Events & Visitor Services Department onboarding process.
Town of Estes Park Guiding Philosophy for Events
Purpose
The 2025 Town Board Strategic Plan includes an objective to “Develop a guiding philosophy for
events that includes consideration of impact on businesses and the community.” This document
is intended to facilitate the discussion around developing the guiding philosophy.
Stakeholders and Resources
Stakeholder interviews were conducted with Town of Estes Park Events & Visitor Services
Director Rob Hinkle, Estes Chamber of Commerce Director Colleen DePasquale, and Visit
Estes Park Operations Director Rebecca Domenico-Gelsinger. Research was conducted on
several municipalities across the state to get a better understanding of their approach to events
in the community. Those municipalities were Aspen, Avon, Boulder, Breckenridge, Brighton,
Broomfield, Fort Collins, Frisco, Glenwood Springs, Longmont, Loveland, Lyons, Pagosa
Springs, Snowmass Village, Vail, and Windsor. Public feedback was sought through a survey
conducted by Polco.
Public Feedback - Survey Results
The survey was open for 18 days and had 198 responses, which were categorized by resident,
business owner or manager, and both resident and business owner or manager. Of those, 79%
(156)were residents, 1% (2) were business owners or managers, 16% (32) were both residents
and business owners or managers and 4% (8) were categorized as “other,” self-identifying as
former residents, second-home owners, and employees.
The purpose of the survey was to get a sense of resident/business sentiment, current barriers to
participation, what types of events people would like to see more/fewer of, and gain an
understanding of the impact that events have on the business community. We did not include
every event that takes place in town, but focused on Town signature events, larger private
events held at Town event spaces, and events that take place in the downtown corridor.
The overall sentiment on events was positive, with a few fair and poor ratings for each event,
but primarily the responses were “excellent” or “good.” The business respondents were more
likely to give “fair” ratings.
The majority of respondents are satisfied with the current number of events at 50% (81), with
40% (65) stating they would like to see fewer events, and 10% (16) stating they would like to
see more events.
Attachment 2
Residents are motivated to attend events in large part for entertainment purposes or to enjoy a
unique experience.
Of the choices offered, cost was the largest prohibitive factor for attending events, but many,
25% (71) wrote in other reasons.
● Crowds
● Traffic
● Parking
● Alcohol
Of these, crowds was noted as the largest deterrent for residents attending events, followed by
traffic, parking, and alcohol. For the business respondents, crowds was noted as the largest
deterrent, followed by scheduling, parking, and cost.
The types of events that residents feel should be considered for the future include winter events,
nature/wildlife-themed events, musical performances, family-friendly events, and food-focused
events.
The types of events that the business respondents feel should be considered for the future
include winter events, educational events, cultural events, and family-friendly events.
The types of events that residents would like to see fewer of are alcohol-centric events, those
that take place downtown, and repetitive events that are similar in nature (such as arts & crafts
shows).
The types of events that business respondents would like to see fewer of are arts & crafts
shows, alcohol-centric events, those that require both entry fees and additional charges by
vendors at the event.
The overall impact of downtown events on business was rated as neutral by 38% (12) of
respondents, followed by positive at 22% (7), and negative at 19% (6).
The majority of respondents at 58% (19) feel that the overall impact of events on the local
business community is positive, followed by 15% (5) who feel it’s extremely positive, 12% (4)
who feel it’s neutral, and 6% (2) who feel it’s negative.
The top concerns identified across all of the text responses are as follows:
● Traffic (50 mentions) - the most common logistical complaint, especially regarding
downtown congestion during busy weekends.
● Parking (48 mentions) - lack of parking, suggestions of improved signage and more
coordination being needed during large events.
● Alcohol (47 mentions) - most often raised as a request for fewer alcohol-centric events.
● Crowds (19 mentions) - the large crowds at many downtown events are a barrier to
resident attendance.
Opportunities
Collaboration
A high level of collaboration is a key component to success in all facets of the event process.
Both internal and external partners play a significant role in mitigating issues around business
impact and participation, traffic, parking challenges, and resident sentiment. Currently, staff from
the Events & Visitor Services Department meet with both Visit Estes Park and the Estes
Chamber of Commerce. Internally, the Events & Visitor Services Department meets with the
Police Department and Public Works Department. This could expand to include Parking &
Transit Division staff, which generally participates in discussions through the permitting process.
Programs that encourage business participation in events, such as the Beyond Program, should
be highlighted and promoted. Through this program, business owners can create specials or
products based on events, and a poster is created with a QR code. The Chamber and Visit
Estes Park primarily manage the program, which was created during the 2022 Elk Fest. The
main vision was to help drive traffic into town for local businesses before or after large events,
especially those at the Events Complex. From January 2025 through August 2025 the program
generated 139 coupons and 16,428 clicks.
Bond Park Events
Events that take place in Bond Park have the biggest impact on traffic and downtown
businesses. These events are initially approved by the Town Board, but then follow the
permitting process in subsequent years. There are currently 11 events that take place in Bond
Park:
● Big Foot Days (Town event)
● Estes Park Art Market (nonprofit event)
● Cowboy Brad Concerts (Town event)
● Estes Park Wine Festival (private event)
● Handmade in Colorado (private event)
● Labor Day Arts & Crafts Show (nonprofit)
● Fine Arts & Crafts Show (nonprofit)
● Autumn Gold (nonprofit)
● Elk Fest (Town event)
● Pumpkins & Pilsners (nonprofit)
● Tree Lighting Ceremony (Town event)
Out of these 11 events, 2 are private, for-profit events with no nonprofit connection or
component. From the business perspective, sentiment is mixed on these events. While they
were not noted to have a negative impact on business, respondents noted frustration that many
of these events felt repetitive, sold products that were perceived to compete with downtown
businesses, and created the most congestion in town.
Alcohol-Centric Events
There are currently 8 events that advertise alcohol:
● Wine & Chocolate Festival
● Whiskey Warmup
● Frozen Dead Guy Days
● Estes Park Wine Festival
● Autumn Gold
● Pumpkins & Pilsners
● Rocky Mountain Craft Spirits Festival
● Holiday Wine & Craft Show
These events are popular among attendees, though overall resident sentiment from the survey
was not favorable for these types of events. While eliminating current, successful events is not
recommended, the Events & Visitor Services Department could carefully weigh the benefits of
adding any new events that advertise alcohol. The Police Department has noted that there is
not an increase in public safety issues or incidents during these events.
The Town should ensure that public transportation options are available, contracted, and
promoted for each of these events.
Family-Friendly Events
In general, an event would be considered family-friendly if it is affordable and appropriate for all
ages. Many of the Town’s current events can be considered family-friendly in that regard and
could be advertised as such.
Lessons/Ideas from Other Communities
Estes Park is fairly unique in its approach to events, in large part because of the variety of
venues and well-established signature events. Of the communities researched, only a few
produce a large number of municipal events, and most serve as a resource for outside events to
guide them through the permitting process. The Events & Visitor Services Department’s website
for the Events Complex stands out as a resource for event information, planning, and
promotion.
The Town of Frisco emphasizes a neighborhood-feel approach to the events they produce,
holding several seasonal events that are designed for participants to engage with local
businesses. All third party events are reviewed through a committee, led by the Town.
Telluride is one community that shares many of the same challenges as Estes Park in terms of
managing large events in a small town. Over a 22 week period, while their gondola is operating,
they have 45 events on Town property alone. They have a series of policies intended to mitigate
some of the impacts. The criteria they have established includes:
● Length of time in existence on the requested date or weekend.
● Longevity of event in Town.
● Longevity of organization in Town.
● Value to community (cultural, economic, environmental, and social).
● Impact on community (infrastructure, environment, and economy).
● Change to existing events or new events (proximity to other events; impact on other
events with regards to economics, infrastructure, and available venues; similar events;
and crowd size).
● Fulfills requirements of Town contracts and Special Event Policies.
These policies are updated every year and they try to incorporate lessons learned. Overall,
despite the policies and established criteria, they do not feel they have found a clear solution to
managing the impact on infrastructure or resident and business sentiment on the large number
of people visiting their town during the high season. The Town is not currently adding a large
number of events, rather, the focus has been on maintaining a slate of largely historical events.
A set of criteria like that of Telluride could be valuable if the Town was in a position to review
new events on a more frequent basis.
The City of Aspen has evolved their event philosophy over the years, narrowing their focus to
signature events that create a community connection. As part of this transition, athletic events
that were once produced by the City are now privately managed. Today, the City of Aspen
Events Department is guided by a new mandate: to produce events that are free or low-cost,
community-driven, environmentally responsible, and designed with locals in mind — the people
who live, work, and play here every day. Inevitably, visitors are folded into the mix, especially
during free community gatherings like the Community Picnic and July 4th celebrations.
Successes & Current Philosophy
The Events & Visitor Services Department’s mission is to: “provide residents and guests with
resources, extraordinary events and venues to enhance the quality of life in Estes Park and to
ensure that Estes Park remains a vibrant mountain community and premier destination.” The
amount of positive feedback from those who attend events, as well as the results of Economic
Impact Surveys, demonstrates that the department is thoughtful in their approach to events and
prioritizes measuring their impact.
Timing of Events
The Events & Visitor Services Department takes a thoughtful approach to balancing events
across the year and throughout the week, utilizing performance measurements to help establish
targets and track metrics. This is an attempt to boost the shoulder season and help bring people
to businesses during times that normally have lower visitation, as well as spread events out
throughout the week instead of concentrating them on the weekends, adding to congestion. The
economic impact survey for the Whiskey Warmup shows that direct spending in 2024 was
$204,781 and Bigfoot Days shows $472,779.
Sustainability Efforts
The Events & Visitor Services Department has partnered with the League of Women Voters to
volunteer at events to assist with recycling and overall sustainability efforts. The League is
putting together a report to highlight this work over the last year.
Additionally, the department received a grant for two water fill stations and trash/recycling bins
for events.
Elements of a Guiding Philosophy
A guiding philosophy that deals with events should contain a set of principles or values that
helps maintain consistency in operations, is rooted in purpose (the department’s mission), and
provides a framework for making decisions. Based on the research conducted, as well as the
current status of events, a guiding philosophy for the Town of Estes Park’s Events & Visitor
Services Department could contain the following elements:
● Prioritizing collaboration (internal and external partners)
● A focus on events that showcase our unique community
● Celebrating local culture, arts, and recreation
● Being good stewards of the environment and sustainability initiatives
● Considering local priority for vendors, as well as encouraging attendees of Signature
events to visit local businesses
● Providing a safe and positive experience for residents and visitors alike
● Reserving Bond Park for civic uses/support
● Assisting outside event organizers in producing successful events
● Minimizing adverse impacts on neighborhoods, businesses, and public services
● The mission of the department
● Police support for security at public and private events (cost, etc)
● Non-PD support for private/public events (event subsidies)
Additional elements that could potentially be included:
● Reducing the number of arts & crafts festivals in Bond Park
● Not producing new alcohol-centered events or reducing the number of current such
events

Memo
To: Honorable Mayor Hall & Board of Trustees
From: Town Administrator Machalek
Department: Town Administrator’s Office
Date: December 9, 2025
Subject: 2026 Strategic Plan Adoption
Type: Other
Objective:
Town Board consideration of adoption of the 2026 Strategic Plan.
Present Situation:
The Town Board held two strategic planning sessions on March 13 and April 18. The
first session included an introduction to strategic planning for 2026 and focused on the
Town’s mission, vision, outcome areas, and strategic policy statements. The second
session was dedicated to developing a set of goals and objectives. Based on those two
sessions, the Board adopted the 2026 Provisional Strategic Plan on May 27. This plan
guided Town departments in the development of the budget for 2026. The proposed
final 2026 Strategic Plan (attached for Board consideration) includes edits to the
adopted 2026 Provisional Strategic Plan based on resource allocation decisions and
ongoing discussions.
Proposal:
The proposed 2026 Strategic Plan is attached. Suggested edits are indicated in red.
Substantial changes are listed below with a brief explanation:
• Governmental Services and Internal Support
o Clarified that Objective 7.C.1 is to continue to digitize Community
Development Planning and Zoning records using available budget, not to
fully complete the process.
• Outstanding Guest Services
o Removed Objective 5.A.1 to “[i]mprove the Visitor Center restrooms by
wrapping restroom stalls with local artwork.” This objective did not receive
funding through the 2026 budget process.
• Transportation
o Removed Objective 1.A.1 to “[c]onstruct the first phase of the US34 and
SH7 trail reconstruction projects.” This objective is currently unfunded.
Staff will be seeking funding for these projects in 2026.
Advantages:
• Guides allocation of the Town’s resources and provides direction to staff for the
annual budget process.
• Comprehensive process to review, record, and implement the priorities of the
Town Board.
Disadvantages:
• The strategic planning process, like the budget creation process, necessarily
leaves some important initiatives un-resourced.
Action Recommended:
Approval of the 2026 Strategic Plan.
Finance/Resource Impact:
No direct budget impact from the adoption of the 2026 Strategic Plan.
Level of Public Interest:
Medium.
Sample Motion:
I move to approve/deny the 2026 Strategic Plan as presented.
Attachments:
1. 2026 Strategic Plan – Redlined
2. 2026 Strategic Plan – Clean

Memo
To: Honorable Mayor Hall & Board of Trustees
From: Town Administrator Machalek
Department: Town Administrator’s Office
Date: December 9, 2025
Subject: Closure of Town Offices on December 26, 2025
Type: Other
Objective:
Board consideration of a proposal to close Town offices on December 26, 2025.
Present Situation:
There is a one-day gap in 2025 between the December 24 and 25 Town holiday
closures and the weekend of December 27 and 28. Fridays after major holidays
(Thanksgiving and Christmas) are typically very slow. I anticipate that December 26 will
be a low-demand day for non-emergency Town services and would like the Board to
consider closing Town offices to recognize employees for their efforts in 2025.
An additional consideration for a closure is that many employees want to use vacation
leave on these gap days for travel or to be with their families, which creates a challenge
in managing who will report to the office to ensure proper coverage for customer
service. A full closure of Town offices allows non-emergency/shift employees the
opportunity to take the day without having to decide who will report to the office.
Emergency services would operate normally and employees who are required to work
on December 26 would receive one floating holiday that would need to be used prior to
December 31, 2026.
Under Policy Governance 3.8.1, the Town Administrator may not change his/her own
compensation or benefits. Since this closure would result in an additional day of leave
for all employees, including the Town Administrator, it requires the approval of the Town
Board.
Proposal:
That the Town Board authorize the Town Administrator to close all Town offices on
December 26, 2025.
Advantages:
• Makes use of an anticipated slower day to recognize Town employees for their
efforts in 2025.
• Will allow employees and their families more time for travel during the holidays.
Disadvantages:
• Limited Town services on December 26. Since this is the day after Christmas,
and a Friday after two days of Town holiday closures, staff expects demand for
services to be low. All of the Town’s usual emergency services (e.g. Police
Patrol, Dispatch, and Utility emergency response) would operate as normal.
Action Recommended:
Approval of the closure of all Town offices on December 26, 2025.
Finance/Resource Impact:
No immediate budget impact. There would be a one-day loss in productivity in most
Departments from the added day off. Employees who are required to work on
December 26 would receive one floating holiday that would need to be used prior to
December 31, 2026.
There are two additional financial considerations associated with the proposal:
• If an employee is called in during what would have been their regular working
hours on December 26, the Town would pay call-out and overtime pay. This call-
out/overtime pay would not be a cost if the employee was working on the 26th
and responded to the issue during their regular working hours. This specific
situation would result in extra costs for the Town.
• If Town offices were to remain open on December 26, it is likely that a fair
number of employees would take vacation time, lowering the Town's outstanding
financial liability for accrued vacation time.
Level of Public Interest:
Medium.
Sample Motion:
I move to approve/deny the closure of Town offices on December 26, 2025.
Attachments:
None

Report
To: Honorable Mayor Hall & Board of Trustees
Through: Town Administrator Machalek
From: Carlie Bangs, Housing and Childcare Manager
Department: Town Administration
Date: December 9, 2025
Subject: Qualified Exempt Childcare Provider Guidelines
Objective:
Provide guidelines that license-exempt childcare providers must adhere to in order to be
considered a “Qualified Exempt” provider eligible for 6E Lodging Tax funds.
Present Situation:
The Town retains a percentage of 6E Lodging Tax revenue to address childcare
initiatives through tuition assistance, provider grants, direct subsidies, and investment in
childcare facilities and capital projects. 6E Lodging Tax revenue is available to
unlicensed providers who are seeking licensure through the Childcare Assistance
application, Exhibit B in Town Policy 225: Childcare Funding Guidelines. When
reviewing the proposed policy updates in July this year, the Town Board requested that
licensed-exempt childcare providers, or Family, Friend, and Neighbor (FFN) providers,
be eligible for “Childcare Stability Initiative” funding.
The Childcare Stability Initiative is a direct subsidy to support wages and general
operational costs for childcare providers in the Estes Valley and requires that recipients
be licensed. For 2026, the Town Board recommended approving all requests the Town
received for Childcare Stability Initiative funding. Currently, the recipients of 2026
funding are all licensed center-based providers or school-age programs. The initiative
requires licensing and a Quality Shines Rating of 2 or higher. None of the existing
licensed providers operating out of their home qualify because current home providers
in the Estes Valley are all rated below level 2. To support licensed home providers in
their goals to increase their Quality Shines rating and qualify for Childcare Stability
Initiative funding, newly licensed home childcare providers will receive a $1,000 bonus.
In 2026, individuals providing care in the Estes Valley will have a continuum of support
as an FFN provider, to Qualified Exempt, and onto becoming a licensed childcare
provider.
In response to the Town Board’s request to include license-exempt childcare providers
in Childcare Stability Initiative funding, as well as direction from conversations about
eligible providers enrolled in Tuition Assistance, staff developed the attached guidelines
for a childcare provider who is legally exempt from being licensed in the state of
Colorado, as defined by the Colorado Department of Early Childhood (CDEC), to be
considered a “Qualified Exempt.”
Proposal:
The proposed guidelines outline a local process for individuals to become a Qualified
Exempt Provider, eligible to receive 6E Lodging Tax funding through Town-supported
childcare grants, tuition assistance, and stabilization programs. The intent is to mirror
the existing Colorado Childcare Assistance Program (CCAP) framework to ensure
consistency with state practices while providing a more localized pathway for FFN
providers in the Estes Valley. These guidelines (Attachment 1) promote alignment with
existing CDEC standards. The framework enhances efficiency and clarity in local
funding administration, establishes accountability through verified safety and training,
and supports equity by expanding access to informal care funding opportunities and
support for families and caregivers.
By demonstrating compliance with safety, background checks, and training standards,
FFN providers will be registered as a Qualified Exempt Provider and eligible for Town-
funded programs, including programs that are funded by 6E Lodging Tax but
administered by outside organizations. To become Qualified Exempt, the individual
must demonstrate the following:
1. Submit a completed Qualified Exempt Provider Application
2. Successful completion of all required background checks
3. Demonstrate compliance with required safety standards
The Town will maintain documentation of all completed applications, background check
confirmations, and safety certifications. Providers are expected to renew their
qualification status every two years or upon a significant change in household
composition. Failure to maintain eligibility or provide accurate information may result in
disqualification from funding and potential penalties. Organizations distributing public
childcare funds, such as tuition assistance or subsidies supported by 6E Lodging Tax
revenue, are subject to the following requirements:
• The organization must receive written confirmation from the Town of Estes Park
verifying that the provider has been approved as a Qualified Exempt Provider
before disbursing any funds.
• Funds may not be distributed to a provider whose Qualified Exempt status has
lapsed, been revoked, or is pending verification.
• The Town recommends that any organization distributing funds to a Qualified
Exempt Provider enter into an independent agreement with the provider outlining
payment terms, program participation requirements, and compliance
expectations.
These measures ensure coordinated oversight between the Town and its funding
partners, prevent disbursement errors, and uphold public accountability in the use of
childcare funds.
Upon review and direction from the Town Board, these guidelines will be included in
Policy 225: Childcare Funding Guidelines as a new Exhibit and brought to the Board for
approval.
Advantages:
Inclusion of legally exempt childcare providers in 6E Lodging Tax funded childcare
initiatives, including tuition assistance
Increased oversight and regulation of the distribution of revenue
Disadvantages:
Some administrative and financial burden for applicants
Action Recommended:
Request for direction on the requirements for Qualified Exempt Provider applicants.
Finance/Resource Impact:
Anticipated increase in funding distribution of 6E Lodging Tax funds as more FFN
providers become eligible.
Level of Public Interest:
Moderate.

1. Qualified Exempt Provider Guidelines and Application
Qualified Exempt Childcare Provider Guidelines
Background
The Town of Estes Park recognizes that childcare providers who are legally exempt from
becoming licensed in the state of Colorado play a critical role in addressing the lack of access
and affordability for childcare in the Estes Valley, especially for children under the age of 1. A
legally exempt provider is often called a Family, Friend, and Neighbor (FFN) provider. In
alignment with the Colorado Department of Early Childhood (CDEC) and the Colorado
Childcare Assistance Program (CCAP), Town staff recommend establishing a Qualified Exempt
Provider model to extend funding eligibility to informal caregivers while maintaining safety,
accountability, and compliance with safety standards.
Providing childcare services without a license or outside the legal parameters for exempt care is
a serious violation under Colorado law. The state of Colorado considers such actions subject to
fines of up to $10,000 and may impose further penalties. To avoid these violations and ensure a
safe system of care, any FFN provider seeking to care for additional children beyond the legally
exempt limits must become licensed through CDEC.
Purpose
The following guidelines provide a local process for individuals to become a Qualified Exempt
Provider, eligible to receive 6E Lodging Tax funding through Town-supported childcare grants,
tuition assistance, and stabilization programs. The intent is to mirror the CCAP framework to
ensure consistency with state practices while providing a localized pathway for FFN providers in
the Estes Valley.
This framework:
•Promotes alignment with CDEC and CCAP standards;
•Enhances efficiency and clarity in local funding administration;
•Establishes accountability through verified safety and training;
•Supports equity by expanding access to informal care funding opportunities and support
for families and caregivers.
Eligibility
Individuals caring for the children of an Estes Valley family, friend, or relative may be legally
exempt from holding a childcare license and still qualify for Town-administered funding. To do
so, they must demonstrate compliance with safety, background checks, and training standards
comparable to those required by the state of Colorado for qualified exempt CCAP providers.
Qualification Process
Step 1: Application Submission
Applicants must complete and submit the following to the Town of Estes Park:
●Qualified Exempt Provider Application (Attachment 1)

Step 2: Background Checks
To protect the safety of children in care, all applicants and any adult household members must
complete both of the following background checks in accordance with CDEC standards for
licensed providers and Qualified Exempt providers (see Attachment 2 for detailed criteria and
disqualifying offenses):
● Criminal Background Check:
○ Conducted via the Colorado Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and the Federal Bureau of
Investigation (FBI). This fingerprint-based check identifies any criminal history that
disqualifies an applicant under the Colorado Child Care Licensing Act.
● Child Abuse and Neglect Records Check:

database. Each person aged 16 and older living in the home must complete a Trails
Request Form, and a copy of the results must be submitted ot the Town confirming

partner organization
● Development and maintenance of Emergency and Fire Safety Plans appropriate to the

Oversight and Verification
The Town will maintain documentation of all completed applications, background check
confirmations, and safety certifications. Providers must renew their qualifications status every
two years or upon a significant change in household composition. Failure to maintain eligibility
or provide accurate information may result in disqualification from funding and potential
penalties.
Organizations distributing public childcare funds, including tuition assistance or subsidies
supported by 6E Lodging Tax revenue, are subject to the following requirements:
● The organization must receive written confirmation from the Town of Estes Park verifying
that the provider has been approved as a Qualified Exempt Provider before disbursing
any funds.
● Funds may not be distributed to a provider whose Qualified Exempt status has lapsed,
been revoked, or is pending verification.
● The Town recommends that any organization distributing funds to a Qualified Exempt
Provider enter into an independent agreement with the provider outlining payment terms,
program participation requirements, and compliance expectations.
These measures ensure coordinated oversight between the Town and its funding partners,
prevent disbursement errors, and uphold public accountability in the use of childcare funds.
