ABANDONED JUNK CARS:
Mr. Arnold Dalrymple attended this meeting representing the auto wreckers.
Mr. Dalrymple informed the Committee that Marvin L. Steele of the Estes
Park Lumber Company had recently hauled one junk car to the Denver
grinder and had received $16.50 in payment of the car. This was a
heavier than average car and it is expected the average would run about
$12.00. It was reported Mr. Steele's biggest problem was the three and
one-half hour delay to unload. It was felt he would continue this
process on a limited basis. Mr. Dalrymple also reported Jim Watson
has offered to haul four or five smashed cars for $60.00 a trip. The
problem here would be getting the cars smashed locally. The following
report from the Police Department on junk autos was submitted to the
Committee:

Trail Ridge Ford has a contract with Highway Auto Parts of Loveland to
haul off junk for an occasional car of value. Trailer is furnished by
Highway Auto Parts, loaded by Trail Ridge, and hauled to Loveland by
Auto Parts.
The Committee recommends to the Board of Trustees that the Town Administrator
correspond with the local wrecker dealers and advise them that the Town of
Estes Park does not feel they have any financial responsibility in disposing
of abandoned junk cars and also advise them that the Chief of Police will
work with them and assist them in solving the abandoned car problem.
It was also recommended the problem be eliminated as soon as possible
and definitely no later than the coming tourist season.
ORDINANCE AMENDING 14.32.030:
The Committee recommends to the Board of Trustees that an ordinance amend-
ing Section 14.32.030, relating to freestanding signs be adopted. This
is a technical correction to the Municipal Code.
