3. 1992 Parkins Plan. Town Administrator Klaphake reviewed
the 1992 Summer Parking Plan as presented during a public
meeting May 28th. A "Park and Ride" plan has been
developed to provide employers a means to encourage their
employees to use outlying parking. A free shuttle system
will carry employees from the Conference Center and Bureau
Power Plant parking lots to downtown beginning June 15th.
The shuttle will run on 20-minute intervals, seven
days/week, from 7:40 A.M. until 10:00 P.M. Downtown drop-
off/pick-up locations will be located at the Transit
Center, southeast corner of Elkhorn and Wiest (East of
Amoco Station), and Barlow Plaza. Town committee meetings
and Planning Commission will be re -scheduled to morning
hours in July and August. Participants of the Park and
Ride Plan will be issued a daily ticket which will be used
for tracking purposes. The Police Department will compute
the data and provide a list of who participated and how
often. Any employees using an alternate method of
transportation (bicycling, walking) will be encouraged to
advise their employer as this type of participation will
also be computed. Regarding the Municipal Building
parking lot, both Larimer County and Library employees
will attempt to participate. The goal of the program is
to create a minimum of 150 parking spaces for visitors in
the downtown area. Trustee Habecker expressed his
appreciation to Town staff and the business community for
their input and impetus toward getting the Park and Ride
Plan in operation for the 1992 tourist season. In
addition, Trustee Habecker confirmed that the "old
lumberyard lot" will be available for employee parking for
employees residing west of Town; those utilizing this lot
are encouraged to use the rear parking spaces.
EPURA Director Anderson submitted a memorandum dated June
3 indicating the total cost for Estes Park Trolley to
provide the Park and Ride service is $17,000. Funding is
available from the 1992 Budget Trollies/Transportation
line item.
Town Attorney White reviewed the Contract for Passenger
Transportation Services with Estes Park Trolley Corp.
advising that the insurance coverage should be amended
from $450,000 to $400,000/occurrence.
Commenting that the Park and Ride Plan is in the best
interest of the Town, and extending his appreciation to
Mr. McDonald, it was moved and seconded (Habecker/Barker)
the 1992 Parking Plan be adopted, and that the Mayor be
authorized to execute the Contract with Estes Park
Trolley, and it passed unanimously.
4. Jaycees Fireworks Display. Tim Peterson/Jaycees submitted
a request for (1) a guaranty of $500.00 toward the
fireworks, (2) use of a backhoe and operator for
approximately one hour and (3) 4-6 yards of sand. Trustee
Barker commented that the intent of the guaranty in 1991
was that this request should be included in the Town's
budget. Following discussion, it was moved and seconded
(Barker/Hix) the $500.00 be contributed to the Estes Park
Jaycees to be allocated toward the fireworks display, plus
approval of requests 2 and 3 contingent upon submittal of
a letter from the property owner allowing the trenches and
placement of sand, and it passed unanimously. In
addition, the $500.00 contribution will be included in
future Town budgets. Administrator Klaphake noted that
the Town will not participate in any potential "skydiving"
activities.
