BRADFORD PUBLISHING CO.RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Estes Park Urban Renewal Authority, November 16, 1994 - Page 2 TOWN LIAISON REPORT AND COMMUNICATIONS Commissioner Klaphake reported that joint meetings with Town Board will resume in January. COMMITTEE REPORTS/ADDITIONAL AUTHORITY BUSINESS Approval of Steeimer Parkway Streetwork: Commissioner Hix explained that when Steamer Parkway was paved in November 1993, all concrete work including the concrete horse trail crossing was postponed, and the amount of $1,120.00 was deleted from the Western Mobile contract. Steamer Parkway was designed as a standard intersection. Because of pavement deterioration, it was planned to position a concrete drainage pan across this intersection at an estimated cost of $2,000 and suggested that the horse trail be combined with the concrete drainage pan. It was determined that cost-sharing with the Findley development would be more cost-effective and easier to maintain. It was moved and seconded (Hix—Martin) to approve reimbursement to Mr. Findley in the amount of $2,020.15 to cover 50% of the costs associated with the drainage pan/horse trail crossing, and it passed unanimously. Concrete Testing — Empire Labs: Commissioner Hix reported that testing of the structural concrete on the Riverwalk Phase 3 project to insure maintenance of construction specifications is required. There are no local companies that provide this service. Empire Labs has been involved in testing on all prior projects. The cost of this testing will vary due to the number of samples needed. It was moved and seconded (Hix-Martin) that Empire Labs, Fort Collins be retained to perform concrete testing on the Riverwalk Phase 3 construction project, and it passed unanimously.

The Arkansas Seed Company blended the seed to specifications supplied by the Town's Parks Department. Director Anderson reported that fall seeding will take advantage of the spring snows.
