application for a State Impact Assistance Grant for the
Senior Center Remodeling/Children's Center Addition
Project (project = $271,000; grant = $161, 000) . A State
representative has advised that the grant would include
the "Davis -Bacon" prevailing wage requirements which
would add approximately 20% to the cost. As the
Board of Trustees - January 8, 1991 - Page 2
increase would not be cost effective, alternative
housing was investigated. Administrator Klaphake
thoroughly reviewed an Intergovernmental Agreement
between the Park School District R-3 and the Town
whereby the District would provide temporary housing for
day-care services. The Agreement will be effective
January 1, 1991 through July 1, 1991, during which time
the Town will address long-range housing provisions for
child-care services; however, the Agreement may be
extended through December 31, 1991. Guidelines and
Qualifications for Operation were included, as well an
Agreement between Kreative Kids, Inc. and the Town.
Following clarification pertaining to operator licensing
requirements, "screening" of volunteers/employees,
insurance coverage, it was moved and seconded

A. The Town cancel the pending CDBG Grant
Application (in writing) and re -apply for a
grant to assist in the Senior Center
remodeling project (at a much lower cost).
B. The Mayor be authorized to execute the
Intergovernmental Agreement with the Park
School District R-3.

Inc. be approved as to form.

4. Intergovernmental Agreement/Ski Estes Park. Town
Administrator Klaphake briefed the Trustees on the
status of the ski area: over 3,000 skiers were served
during the Christmas holiday season (Phase I); the ski
area will not be opened during January due to lack of
snow on "upper" and resultant safety precautions (Phase
II); and staff anticipates salvaging the Spring season
(Phase III). Administrator Klaphake commended Gary
Coleman and his staff in operating the ski area this
season. In a brief report, Mr. Coleman commented that
based on past snowfall averages, snowfall accumulation
to date is down 14.6% on "Upper." Mr. Coleman also

Larimer County for their support and cooperation.
