CONFERENCE TRANSPORTATION SERVICES - APPROVAL.
The Town received two (2) proposals to provide conference transportation
services for seven (7) conferences:

Nebraska Rotary, O.B.E.,
American Legion, Snow &

TOTAL:
PROPOSAL
$ 2,320
$11,904
The 1993 Budget contains $8,000 for such services. There is a $2.00/night
room charge for all participating accommodations which is reimbursed to the
Town. Staff anticipates the reimbursement will bring the transportation
program within budget ($3,904 deficit). Director Pickering reported that
both companies received excellent reviews for their service in 1992. The
Committee recommends approval of both proposals as identified above.
MUSEUM REPORT.
Curator Kilsdonk noted that the Museum Sign has been installed and is fully
operational; additional landscaping will be provided in the near future. The
Chansonetta Stanley Photograph Exhibition has been installed and has been
successful.
An "Interpretive Plan" designed to clarify the Mission Statement by
specifying topics appropriate for the Museum to be covering through
collections, exhibits and programs was presented for approval. Six
interpretive themes were addressed: Early Visitors and Settlement, Tourism-
Colorado's First Mountain Resort, Recreation, Town and Community Development,
Cultural and Social History, and Natural Resources. Following discussion,
the Committee recommends approval of the Interpretive Plan as submitted.
Staff reviewed recent events, adding that the CWAM Meeting for 1995 has been
awarded to LaJunta. The Estes Park Conference Center was "perfect"; however,
the Board opted for geographic diversity in lieu of quality of facility.
REPORTS.
Advertising Manager Marsh noted that the Advertising Performance Report was
unavailable due to the timing of the meeting being the first of the month.
Current Projects include a new rack brochure for Welcome Centers and front-
range distribution. This brochure replaces the current rack card, and to
some degree the current lure brochure. The redesign of the 1994 Visitors
Guide is complete. This piece will replace the current lure brochure at
considerable savings to the Town. Rooftop Rodeo posters and rack cards will
be available from the printer in approximately two weeks. Tom Pickering and
