WATER DEPARTMENT GARAGE AND SHOP:
Board Members Hix and Hurd and Plant Manager Spradling of the Estes
Park Sanitation District appeared before the Committee requesting
consideration by the Town for a property exchange involving the
Water Department garage and the Sanitation District garage.
The Committee referred this request to the staff.Further
discussion is planned for the next Committee meeting.
GREENBELT:
The Committee instructed the Town Administrator to proceed with
preliminary negotiation for the eventual purchase of Greenbelt.
CARPET CLEANING:
As requested by the Committee,two bids were obtained for cleaning
the public areas of the carpet in the Municipal Building (4,015 sq.ft..)
Both bids were the same —$.08 per sq.ft.Because Service Master
Cleaning of Fort Collins has cleaned the carpet previously,the
Committee recommends they be used again.The estimated cost to
clean 4,015 sq.ft.is $321.00.The Director of Public Works was
instructed to have the carpet cleaned just as soon as the street
oiling and Bond Park projects are complete.
PUBLIC WORKS GARAGE:
The Committee discussed at length the proposed new Public Works
garag to be built on adjacent property to the new Light and Power
building.Subject to the County finalizing the property transfer
near the landfill,the Committee recommends the Public Works Director
be authorized to call for bids on the new building.Three types
of building will be bid;steele,block and prestressed concrete.
Preliminary insurance rates indicate there may be a savings to the
Town of about $20,000 over the life of the building (50 years),
if block or concrete is used in place of metal.Other differences
such as heat loss and maintenance costs will be reviewed by the
Committee.
1975 STREET IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM:
The Committee recommends the attached 1975 street improvements
be offered for bid.The Director of Public Works indicated there
are three oiling companies that will bid the projects.The esti
mated cost of the program is slightly over $100,000.

development of the West Riverside Park.The plan shows a
small park with picnic tables and benches,a walk path,large
rock bench,sod with a sprinkling system and six parking spaces.

tigate the possibility of using wood plank walks as well as other
material.

a memorial plack in the Northwest side of Bond Park.After
considerable discussion,the Committee authorized the Director
of Public Works to work with the retired federal employees,and
approve the project.
STREET NAME SIGNS:
Spur Sign Shop has requested the Town purchase their street
name signs from them at a cost of $8.40 each.

of about $8.00 to $9.00 each.Sign making by the Town is ‘down
time”work.

signs.

in the placement of a large billboard type sign at Stanley Park.
After considerable discussion,the Committee recommends the
sign not be constructed.The Committee indicated the construction
and placement of a large sign of this type would not be in keeping
with the Town’s decision to control signs.
SIDEWALK CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS:
The Committee discussed at length the appropriateness of various
sidewalk construction materials and recommends to the Board of
Trustees that the Municipal Code be amended as follows:
1)Sidewalks may be constructed of only concrete
or masonry materials;
2)Sidewalk surfaces must have a roughness
equivalent at least to a broomed cement
finish,but not to exceed ¼inch in surface
variation.
