ACTION ITEMS:
1.A. Minutes of the Public Safety Committee meeting held
September 26, 1991 were read. Administrator Klaphake
reported that subsequent to discussion with Christmas
Parade personnel, the recommendation that the pedestrian
crossing sign installed on East Elkhorn Avenue remain in
place through November 29th (Christmas Parade) should be
amended to authorize removal as soon as practical.
Following discussion, it was moved and seconded
(Garrett/Habecker) the minutes be approved, amending the
item on Traffic Projects relating to the pedestrian
crossing sign to be removed along with the bollards as soon
as practical, and it passed unanimously.
A.1. Trustee Habecker declared a potential "conflict of
interest" and stated he would not participate in discussion
nor vote on the following item. Town Attorney White
reviewed an Agreement with Rick Dill/Animal Medical Center
for Animal Pound Service. Dr. Sue Patton/Estes Park Animal
Medical Center has requested she be relieved of this
service effective December 31, 1991. Through an Agreement
with Dr. Patton, she will continue to provide said service
until Dr. Dill's new facility is available. It was moved
and seconded (Garrett/Aldrich) the Agreement with Rick
Dill/Animal Medical Center be approved, and it passed by
the following votes: Those voting "Yes" Trustees Aldrich,
Barker, Dickinson, Garrett and Hix. Those voting "No"
none. Those "Abstaining" Trustee Habecker.

Board of Trustees - October 8, 1991 - Page 2
seconded (Hix/Garrett) the minutes be approved, and it
passed unanimously.
C. Minutes of the Community Development Committee meeting held
October 2, 1991 were read. Pertaining to the
Intergovernmental Agreement with the Larimer County Housing
Authority, Administrator Klaphake remarked that he could
not confirm that the low-cost rental housing will be 50%
lower as quoted in the local newspaper. Although
supportive of the project, Trustee Habecker questioned the
reasoning for public subsidy. Staff confirmed that the
Larimer County Housing Authority cannot participate as a
competitor in the marketplace, the intent of this project
is to eliminate costs that would certainly inflate rental
fees, financing will be subject to Town Board approval, and
that two subsequent Agreements: Construction Management
and Management (for rentals) will follow if said
Intergovernmental Agreement is also approved by the Larimer
County Commissioners. Steve Jackson, CPA, reported that
the Community Housing Committee attempted to develop the
project in the private sector, however, this proposal was
impossible as the $500.00/month rental fee could not be
retained. The 16-unit housing project will include two
bedrooms, 1' baths, and 880 square feet. There being no
further discussion, it was moved and seconded (Hix/Garrett)
the minutes be approved with the insertion of "low cost" in
the following sentence: "...the Board formed a Community
Housing Committee to focus on the shortage of low-cost
rental housing.", and it passed unanimously.
C.1. It was moved and seconded (Hix/Aldrich) the
Intergovernmental Agreement with the Larimer County Housing
Authority be approved, authorising the Mayor to execute
said Agreement, and it passed unanimously.
D. Minutes of the Light and Power Committee meeting held
October 3, 1991 were read. Regarding the rate study,
Trustee Habecker suggested staff also research potential
conversion from electricity to gas in the proposed Loan
Program. It was moved and seconded (Aldrich/Hix) the
minutes be approved, and it passed unanimously.
2. Stanley Park Indoor Arena. As confirmation pertaining to
financing has not been received from the bond attorney, it
was moved and seconded (Hix/Habecker) the Part I Agreement
for preliminary design and budgeting for the indoor arena
be tabled to October 22, 1991, and it passed unanimously.
3. 1992 Budget. As required by State Statute, Finance Officer
Vavra presented the introductory Resolution Appropriating
Sums of Money for the 1992 Budget. Estimated expenditures
and resources were reviewed. Estimates will be refined
during Administrative Committee meetings during October.
Staff anticipates submitting the budget for Town Board
approval November 12, 1991.
Following completion of all agenda items, Mayor Dannels requested
comments from the audience. There being none, it was moved and
seconded (Aldrich/Dickinson) the Board enter Executive Session to
confer with the Town Attorney for the purpose of (1) receiving
legal advise, and (2) discuss property negotiation, and it passed
unanimously. Whereupon Mayor Dannels adjourned the meeting at 8:28
P.M. to Executive Session.
