The group is interested in designating Estes Park as the headquarters for the National Watchable Wildlife Foundation to provide a facility for research, central clearing house, auditorium, meeting rooms, interactive exhibits, and library. Mr. Clinton requested that EPURA consider using the Knoll Property for the location of this facility, and assist the Foundation in generating local support. All financial support will be acquired through a national fund-raising effort. Commissioner concerns include project coordination with the National Park Gateway Center, duplication of Park services, and the time line for this project. Mr. Clinton explained that the group is in contact with the National Park Service to discuss their concerns. The National Watchable Wildlife Foundation would showcase national interests, and would not duplicate the Park's services but would further promote the Gateway Center. Mr. Clinton distributed a proposal written by Jay Reed, Wingspread Company, and Bob Hernbrode, Division of Wildlife, who have agreed to make a presentation at a future meeting. Mr. Clinton also left a video and book entitled "Watching Wildlife". A needs assessment, feasibility study, and preliminary drawings will be completed after a commitment from the community and EPURA is obtained. Planning Commission Chairman Sager commended the proposal and noted that Planning Commission concerns would include the building and parking layout. Commissioner Klaphake and Director Anderson reported on the success of similar wildlife foundations. Chairman Gunn commended Mr. Clinton's presentation. The Commissioners expressed their interest in this proposal.
