The committee was informed by Chairman Martin that a room approximately 24
feet by 32 feet was available for lease as a court room in the Research Center
Building.Building Inspector Hackett estimated it will cost between $1400.00
and $2,000.00 to redecorate this room,install itions,and supply the
necessary furniture and fixtures to make a presentable court room.Our
present court room dimensions are 13½feet by 28 feet.The court room and
utility office budgeted for the year 1964 was a building approximately 30
feet by 50 feet.This building built in Bond Park near the Magoffin Monument
is estimated to cost approximately $25,000.00.This building built immediately
north of the Chamber of Commerce Building is estimated to cost approximately
$20,000.00.The Public Building and Parks Committee recommends the Board
of Trustees consider leasing the above-mentioned room in the Research Center
Building until such time as the permanent need for a Town-owned court room
is more apparent.
The Clerk was instructed to contact Larimer County Commissioner Warren Wolaver
and invite him to a Public Building and Paks Committee meeting in the Town
Hall on Thursday,September 24,at 2:00 p.m.This meeting will be for the
purpose of learning the County’s plans for an assistant county court room
in Estes Park and to negotiate the possible joint use of a Police Magistrate
Court and County Court.
The Public Building and Parks Committee discussed the possibility of encasing
the Black Canyon Creek immediately east of Crowley’s Restaurant in a steel
culvert and filling this property for the future use as a parking lot.The
Committee also discussed the possibility of future excavation in the Buenna
Vista Terrace Parking Lot,specifically Lot 4B,and using this fill on the
above-mentioned Black Canyon Creek.The Committee requested Street
Superintendent McCracken obtain estimates for the above projects which will
also include surfacing of the two parking lots.
Chairman Martin informed the Committee he checked with School Superintendent
L.L.Patterson and was informed the football field option had not yet been
exercised.After considerable discussion,the committee recommends that the
Board of Trustees offer the School District $100,000.00 for the purchase of
the football field.The Committee also recommends that the Board of Trustees
be authorized to negotiate with the Schoo1 Board any variances in the above
offer.
