Director Anderson read portions of staff's report regarding the
proposed library building site plan into the record. The proposed
library site was acquired by the Authority and incorporated into
the Transit Center. Subsequently, this property was deeded to the
Town of Estes Park for public use. The Town entered into a long
term lease with the Estes Valley Library District for its use as
the library location. These actions are allowed under C.R.S. 31-
25-106 and C.R.S. 31-25-112. The proposed library building
location allows redevelopment of Bond Park back as open space.
This new structure, in a highly visible location, will enhance
downtown's image and, although unique in design, is in harmony with
its purpose and surrounding buildings.
It was moved and seconded (Pohl-Klaphake) the URA find the Estes
Valley Library District's proposed building site plan in compliance
with the urban renewal Plan. Motion carried.

Sculptor - The family of Charles H. Phares has commissioned Dan
Ostermiller to design, cast, transport, and install a life-size
bronze eagle statue at a site in Riverside Plaza designated by the
Authority and family members and agreed to by the Town of Estes
Park as per their Visual Arts Collection Policy. Funding for this
memorial piece comes from unsolicited donations. The 6' to 7'
bronze soaring eagle, standing on wing, will be donated to the Town
of Estes Park. It was moved and seconded (Godbolt-Hondius) the
Authority, acting as the Town's agent, enter into an agreement with
Dan Ostermiller for the purpose of designing, casting,
transporting, and installing a life-size bronze eagle statue.
Motion carried.
STAFF
Acting upon a request from Robert Porter/Sundance Center Building,
it was moved and seconded (Ericson-Hondius) staff be authorized to
proceed with installation of three streetlights at this location,
at a cost of $7,000.00. Motion carried.
R. C. Heath has begun work on Phase II of the Big Thompson River
Improvements/East Corridor. Coordination of work at Barlow Plaza
is postponed due to a delay in obtaining street cut permits from
the Colorado Department of Highways. Commissioner Pohl noted that
sidewalk demolition in front of Barlow Plaza is being paid for by
Mr. Barlow. Work is presently concentrated on the park at the west
end of the project.
There being no further business, the meeting adjourned.
