Donald Pauley, Polly Garrett, Carl Henderson, Gary F. Klaphake, Edward B. Pohl, Richard S. Putney, Gerald W. Swank Chairman Pauley, Commissioners Henderson, Garrett, Klaphake, Pohl, Putney, and Swank Executive Director Anderson, Deputy Clerk Kuehl None The meeting was called to order at 8:05 a.m. RESOLUTION NO. 186 Executive Director Anderson read Resolution No. 186 declaring an intent of the Estes Park Urban Renewal Authority to acquire real property in the downtown redevelopment area to provide additional downtown parking. It was moved and seconded (Garrett-Pohl) that Resolution No. 186 declaring an intent of the Estes Park Urban Renewal Authority to acquire Del's Drive In, 283 Moraine Avenue, located in the downtown redevelopment area and authorizing staff to proceed with such acquisition be accepted, with a correction in the reading of the Resolution to state "area", not "program", in the 6th "Whereas" paragraph, and it passed unanimously. RESOLUTION NO. 187 Commissioner Henderson withdrew from discussion because of a conflict of interest. Executive Director Anderson read Resolution No. 187 regarding the assignment of a purchase option agreement for Del's Drive In for the amount of $165,000, with the Art Center of Estes Park having paid $5,000, and an additional $5,000 to be paid by the Authority by February 1, 1993. It was moved and seconded (Putney-Swank) that Resolution No. 187 approving a purchase option agreement to acquire Del's Drive In and authorizing payment of $10,000 to the Art Center of Estes Park for reimbursement of the option payment and expenses, this payment to concur with closing on the said property, be accepted, and it passed unanimously, with Commissioner Henderson abstaining. This purchase redirects the 1993 budget from the proposed Riverwalk project to this acquisition and parking lot construction project and represents a change in the Authority time line rather than a change in priorities. Executive Director Anderson thanked the Art Center for contacting EPURA regarding this agreement, thus making these actions possible. COMMISSIONER COMMENTS Commissioner Pohl, in order to clarify recent press articles regarding spouse travel, stated that Urban Renewal Authority policy does not allow reimbursement of spouse expenses. There being no further business, it was moved and seconded (Swank- Henderson) that the meeting be adjourned at 8:20 a.m. Tina Kuehl, Deputy Town Clerk
