On-Going Special Event
The Board was provided with a letter from Barry Myers, Special
Events Coordinator for the Estes Park Area Chamber of Commerce,
requesting $3,300.00 from EPURA to fund startup costs relating to
purchase of a working platform and block of marble to be carved into
a bust of Joel Estes, by Thomas M. Miller, sculptor. Attorney
Windholz has advised Staff that this is an authorized use of EPURA
funds. Staff recommends the Board approve expenditure of $3,300.00,
contingent upon the Special Events Committee receiving approval from
the Town Public Works Committee to use Bond Park for this purpose.
Following discussion, the Board agreed to;
ir n
1. Hold authorization of funds until the project site is approved
by the Town;
2. View the artist's work (the bust of Isabella Bird will be on
display June 8-July 8 at the Estes Park Historical Museum);
3. Since this bust will become a permanent Estes Park possession,
determine if and where it will be placed within the URA District.
It was moved and seconded (Pohl-Hill) that this matter be tabled
until the June 18 URA Board meeting. Motion carried.
