Mayor Dannels called a special meeting of the Board of Trustees
to order at 4:00 P.M. to receive the proposed 1989 Budget.
Town Administrator Klaphake reviewed his memorandum dated Septem-
ber 19, 1988 which outlined the proposed 1989 Budget. The
proposed budget takes into consideration the Town Board's goals
and includes the following changes that require budget consid-
eration and/or organizational changes:
• Intergovernmental Agreement with EPURA for parks
maintenance costs.
• Capital Improvements Program which includes a Capital
Improvements Reserve.
• Community Development Department and Committee.
• Town Newsletter.
• Plans for a Library District.
• Reduced number of administrative vehicles by use of car
allowances.
• Ski Estes Park partnership.
Town Administrator Klaphake's memorandum also addressed the Focus
and Highlights, Revenues, Expenses, the Unfunded List, Calendar,
Recognition, and Conclusion for the proposed 1989 Budget.
The entire Board of Trustees is urged to attend all Administra-
tive Committee meetings where all phases of the proposed budget
will be discussed.
The Board also reviewed Town Administrator Klaphake's memorandum
dated September 19, 1988 addressing the Library Board Budget.
The memorandum clarified the status of the Library Board Budget
when and if the proposed Library District is approved. Adminis-
trator Klaphake identified three recommendations concerning the
budget transfer. Trustee Barker moved that:
1. If the 2.5 Library District Mill Levy is approved, the
Town's Library budget appropriation be transferred to
the Capital Improvements Reserve and designated for
support of land purchase and/or construction of a new
library. Future budget appropriations will be can-
celled. Town Administrator Klaphake was also directed
Special Town Board - September 20, 1988 - Page two
to request that Larimer County continue their support
of the Library regardless if a Library District is
approved.
2. If the 1.5 Library District Mill Levy is approved, then
the Town's Library budget appropriation would supple-
ment the Library District Budget in 1989 up to the
amount in the Town's Library budget. The remaining
funds would be transferred to the Capital Improvements
Reserve and designated for future library purposes.
3. If the Library District vote fails, the Town would
continue to operate the Library pursuant to the Town's
1989 Library Budget.
Trustee Aldrich seconded the motion and it passed unanimously.
Town Administrator Klaphake confirmed $10,000 was budgeted in
1989 in the Advertising Budget to help advertise Ski Estes Park.
In Administrator Klaphake's memorandum, he recommended the 1988
Advertising Budget be amended to include $5,000 which is needed
to advertise the ski area during the beginning of the 1988 ski
season, and that the 19:09 proposed Budget be reduced to $5,000
for advertisement prior to the 1989 ski season. Trustee Hix
moved staff be authorized to draft a resolution amending the 1988
Advertising Budget. Trustee Garrett seconded the motion and it
passed unanimously.
Minutes of the Water Committee meeting held September 8, 1988
were read. Trustee Habecker declared a potential "conflict of
interest" with the Phil Moenning agenda item. Trustee Dickinson
moved the minutes be approved with the omission of the aforemen-
tioned agenda item, Trustee Garrett seconded the motion and it
passed unanimously.
Trustee Dickinson moved the Phil Moenning agenda item included in
the September 8, 1988 Water Committee minutes be approved.
Trustee Garrett seconded the motion and it passed by the follow-
ing votes: Those voting "Yes" Trustees Aldrich, Barker,
Dickinson, Garrett, and Hix. Those voting "No" none. Those
"Abstaining" Trustee Habecker.
There being no further business, Mayor Dannels adjourned the
