UNFINISHED BUSINESS
Resolution - EPURA Approving an Expenditure for Acquisition of Real
Property - Director Anderson read Resolution No. 97 and stated he
would be attending the Public Works Committee meeting this afternoon
regarding removal of the Ice House and subsequent payment by the
Town for such demolition.
Director Anderson stated the Authority wants possession by May 31,
1988; however, Mr. Watson wants to retain possession until July 1,
1988, allowing him time to salvage the structure's weatherboard and
to move/store his personal property. Director Anderson explained
that when the check is delivered to the court today, EPURA may take
immediate possession of the property and, although approximately two
weeks have passed since the trial, an EPURA May 31, 1988 possession
date should allow Mr. Watson ample time to remove/store any personal
property contained within the Ice House. It is the Board's
determination that Mr. Watson holds no salvage rights.
It was moved and seconded (Pohl-Ericson) that Resolution No. 97 be
adopted. Motion carried.
The Board directed Staff to coordinate any anticipated
parking/landscaping/irrigation plans in this area with the Town
Public Works Department.

was interviewed for the position. Mr. Aiken is owner/operator of
The Puppetworks in Estes Park and is experienced in the field of
entertainment management.
It was moved and seconded (Klaphake-Pauley) that contingent upon:
- Passage of a Town ordinance allowing entertainment in Riverside
Plaza;
- Clarification of item 5. in the Agreement regarding independent
contractor status and Staff's findings regarding Mr. Aiken's
liability insurance; and
- Review of the Agreement by the Chairman and Authority Attorney,
EPURA enter into an agreement with Robert Aiken to act as
Entertainment Manager for Riverside Plaza. Motion carried.

regarding finalization of these rules for presentation at the May
24, 1988 Town Board meeting.
Riverside Plaza is on schedule for substantial completion by June
