LIAISON; Commissioner Klaphake reported the Town will set aside $10,000.00 for tree replacement. UNFINISHED BUSINESS; Director Anderson presented a river corridor identification sign package prepared by Weber Design. He noted a URA Plan guideline which recommends use of signs/flags/banners. Doug Bailard/owner of Mary's Lake Campground displayed a copy of his campground's logo and noted the similarity. Although Mr. Bailard has no legal problem with the Authority's use of Weber Design's proposed logo, he felt the Board should be made aware of the similarity. Commissioner Hondius stated he favors use of riverwalk signs on passageways leading to the river corridor, but is opposed to the use of flags/banners. Richard and Ann Barlow/Estes Park spoke in support of the sign package. Commissioner Godbolt expressed support for the river corridor identification concept, but cautioned the Board against adding anything that could be construed as urban clutter. Commissioner Pohl noted the banner concept is a minor portion of the project and would only be used in a limited capacity within the Plaza and on the riverwalk. Commissioner Hondius moved that signs on streetlights at passageways to the riverwalk be presented to the Planning Commission. The motion died for lack of a second. Vice-Chairman Pauley recommended the entire sign package be presented to the Planning Commission on June 19, whereupon it was moved and seconded (Pohl-Ericson) that in keeping with the the URA Plan, the entire river corridor identification package be presented to the Planning Commission.

A severe fungus infestation on the aspen trees at the Highway 34/36 intersection sculpture island has prompted a recommendation to spray the trees which have not been attacked, remove the infected trees and replaced with a variety of trees so that the island will not lose all trees to any one type of disease. Evergreens will be replaced when available. The Town will purchase the trees and contract a landscape firm to perform the work. There being no further business, the meeting adjourned.
