As a comparison, in 1980, August, July, June and September ranked 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and Board of Trustees - November 13, 1990 - Page 3 4th respectively. Year to date figures indicate sales tax revenues are up 7.25% over last year. b. distributing copies of a November 9, 1990 Trail Gazette article entitled "Memory lapse for EP seniors". Administrator Klaphake stated that portions of the article were in poor taste and inaccurate. He also distributed a property tax chart, a 1975-1989 elderly tax refund analysis, and a report indicating property tax rates for the last ten fiscal years. Mayor Pro-Tem Hix declared the public hearing open. Town Administrator Klaphake stated in 1990, the Town received approximately $90,000 from the Colorado Highway User Funds. In 1991, the Town will receive $96,000 from these funds and proposes to use this amount for capital street improvements. The 1991 budget includes approximately $180,000 in capital street improvements. The $96,000 received will be allocated to the $180,000, with the Town supplementing the remainder. Hearing no comment regarding other changes or uses for these funds, Mayor Pro-Tem Hix declared the public hearing closed. It was moved and seconded (Habecker-Garrett) the $96,000 received from the Colorado Highway User Funds be applied to the 1991 capital street improvements budget, and it passed unanimously. B.

Town Administrator Klaphake stated the Town would use this project as an area for back wash water, thereby avoiding the need for sewer line installation, along with other associated costs at the new Marys Lake plant. Following discussion from the Board in answer to Mr. Canaiy's questions, Mayor Pro-Tem Hix declared the public hearing closed. It was moved and seconded (Aldrich -Garrett) Resolutions #27-90, #28-90, and #29-90 be approved, and it passed unanimously. 5 Public Hearing - New Beer and Wine Liquor License Application filed by Calvin Lynn King, dba POPPY's, 342 E.

It was moved and seconded (Aldrich -Barker) the New Beer and Wine Liquor License Application filed by Calvin Lynn King, dba POPPY's, 342 E. Elkhorn Avenue, be granted, provided that the patio fence installation does not encroach into the access easement nor cause maintenance or other problems, and that the installation is coordinated with Town staff and approved by the Public Works Director, and it passed unanimously. Trustee Habecker suggested the liquor code language contained in state statute be reviewed and revised. 6. Minutes of the October 30, 1990 Board of Adjustment were read into the record. Community Development Director Stamey referred to his November 9, 1990 memo to Town Administrator Klaphake regarding the Board of Adjustment's recommendation that the Board of Trustees refer to the Planning Commission, a request to review the use of neon signs, since a change in the sign code to allow neon is a major policy change. The Estes Park sign code currently prohibits the use of any sign having direct illumination (including neon tubing) when light travels directly from the source to the viewer's eye. It was moved and seconded (Habecker-Garrett) the Board of Trustees refer to the Planning Commission, a request to review the use of neon signs, and it passed unanimously. Trustee Habecker stated that maintaining a strong Estes Park economy will accomplish more than tax rebates in assisting its citizens of all ages. Mayor Pro-Tem Hix noted the Board of Trustees will conduct one meeting in December - December 11, 1990. There being no further business, Mayor Pro-Tem Hix adjourned the meeting at 8:50 P.M.
