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. HOLIDAY MEETING SCHEDULE.

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. The Customer Service Response and Water Reports for August were reviewed.
