Trustee Hix introduced, and Town Administrator Hill read in full, the following Ordinance and moved it be adopted: AN ORDINANCE PERMITTING THE TOWN OF ESTES PARK TO INCUR INDEBTEDNESS ON BEHALF OF THE MUNICIPALITY AND APPROV- ING THE FORM AND AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTION OF CERTAIN DOCUMENTS RELATING THERETO Trustee Laing seconded the motion and it passed by the following votes: Those voting "Yes" Trustees Aldrich, Barker, Brown, Habecker, Hix and Laing. Those voting "No" none. Whereupon Mayor Dannels declared said Ordinance duly adopted and ordered it numbered 10-86 and published according to law. Two petitions were presented which had been executed by various downtown merchants. The petitions acknowledged opposition to the Confluence Park and River Beautification Projects proposed by the Estes Park Urban Renewal Authority (EPURA). Those offering testimony are as follows: Ray Keller - Reported the merchants felt the petitions were necessary due to a lack of communication between the mer- chants and the Authority. Opinions expressed by the mer- chants were overlooked in subsequent workshops. Mr. Keller questioned the authority of EPURA and final approval status. of proposed projects. Frank Williams - Stated approximately 80% of his patrons use the Dark Horse Parking Lot located at 150 Wiest Drive; he urged the Board of Trustees not allow the closing of the aforementioned parking lot and street. Steve Nagl - Requested the Trustees review the Urban Renewal Plan and delete those portions that negatively affect the downtown area. By removing the Dark Horse Parking Lot, 46 parking spaces would be deleted. Board of Trustees - May 27, 1986 - Page four Mike Haber - Informed the Trustees the downtown merchants are involved in the two proposed projects. Beautification could occur adjacent to the river without deleting parking spaces. Freddie Ricker - Reported that in her opinion, the major area of concern was the lack of an accurate time -table. Confusion has arisen due to the lack of publicizing each phase. When discussion has taken place pertaining to a particular phase, contracts have already been approved. Bob Cheney - Requested the Board of Trustees act as a mediator between the merchants and the Authority. Input given by the merchants in workshops has not received any consideration. Mr. Cheney also questioned the notion that his place of business, Alpine Gifts, was not shown on any of the plans as presented by Design Studios West. Harry Frumess - Two years ago a meeting was held to discuss the time -table of proposed projects. Those projects iden- tified as being implemented in the distant future were being implemented today. Judy Brown - Expressed concern regarding the short season.' If the parking lot is removed and patrons are required to park in outlying areas, the patrons will not bear the winter weather and will shop elsewhere. Jonathan Byrd - Every consideration should be given to prevent the closing of Wiest Drive, particularly in view of access for emergency vehicles and deliveries. Mayor Dannels responded that the Authority is charged with the responsibility of implementing the Urban Renewal Plan; however, monthly meetings are held with the Urban Renewal Authority to ensure both boards are well advised of all projects being con- sidered. The Authority conducts bi-monthly meetings and these meetings are and always have been open to the public. Trustee Habecker commented there is an obvious lack of credibility in EPURA and strongly urged the Board of Trustees to rectify the situation. There being no further business, the meeting adjourned.
