PROPOSED LAKE ESTES HIKE/BIKE TRAIL - REVIEW OF INTERGOVERNMENTAL
AGREEMENT (IGA) WITH LARIMER COUNTY AND EVRPD.
Administrator Klaphake presented the IGA for Phase I of the
proposed Lake Estes Hike/Bike Trail between the Town, Larimer
County and the EVRPD. The Town's funding portion is $150,000 and
the other two entities will fund $50,000/each. The IGA was
thoroughly reviewed with staff outlining the responsibilities for
each party. Staff also confirmed that the Joint Budget Committee
has recommended this project and funding is tentatively in the 1994
Budget. Director Linnane reported on "enhancement fund" grants.
Entities have little knowledge of this specific grant application,
thus there is little competition for funds. The Town will apply
for this type of grant and the Committee commended staff for
pursuing the application. Following discussion, the Committee
recommends the Mayor be authorized to execute the Intergovernmental
Agreement as presented.

Workshop and presented a copy of the preliminary ranking of the
highway projects. The ranking includes a 20-year list of projects

Transportation Plan. Of the top four ranked projects, Estes Park
has 3 projects ranked 2 through 4: Highway 7 widening, Highway
34/36 Intersection widening, bridge etc., Highway 34 East,
widening. Staff reiterated that the list is preliminary, however,
it appears the Town's steadfastness has been successful.

tunnel work being conducted by the Bureau of Reclamation. Staff
used this opportunity to perform their semi-annual maintenance.

Marys Lake Plant or water storage for fire in jeopardy.
