1.Park R-3 School District Board -Update on Building Projects.

before the Trustees to discuss the overcrowding problem and
ways in which the problem could be corrected.Mr.Smith
reviewed the statistics on current and projected student
enrollment and what the District is proposing:a new building
Board of Trustees -September 26,1995 -Page 2
for approximately 500 students that would be paid for by a
bond issue.Operations will be paid f or by a new “operations
tax.”The new building will house three grade levels
(depending upon enrollment numbers each year).The total cost
for new construction and remodeling of the elementary school
is $6,665,000.The new tax will generate $350,000/yr.for
staffing,utilities,and maintenance.The worst case scenario
is a $6.6 Million dollar project with 7.5%interest.The
aquatic center bonds will end this year,and Mr.Smith
compared cost to the taxpayer on these two bond issues:on a
$100,000 home,a resident paid $3.84/mo.for the previous bond
issue,and the new issue will be $3.76/mo.——less than in 1985.
A total of $16.61/mo.would be assessed for commercial
property,which is higher than in 1985.Drawings were
presented and reviewed:the “swing building”would contain 18
classrooms plus other rooms,and combination gym/cafeteria
area which could be divided off to facilitate simultaneous
functions.Mr.Smith reviewed specific building location,
noting that existing condominiums to the south will view a one
story school house from their decks.Proposed school bus
lanes were also reviewed.Mr.Smith confirmed that the
combination gym/cafeteria will include stairs and an elevator
that will conform to ADA requirements and the practice field
area is being retained.
Chairman Gillette expressed the Board’s appreciation to Mr.
Smith for his presentation,and urged residents to vote on the
bond election on November 7 election as the proposal is a
well-conceived plan--the time is right to maintain quality
education in Estes Park.
