MUNICIPAL BUILDING PARKING LOT - CONSTRUCTION OF NEW PARKING SPACES.
The Committee reviewed a drawing proposing the construction of five (5)
parking spaces 9'x20' located at the southeast corner of the Municipal
Parking Lot which included a 17' landscaped buffer. The area is
currently less than desirable and the proposed buffer will enhance and
equal existing buffers. Staff suggested establishing the first space
for motorcycles only (at the driveway entrance). The proposal is
acceptable to Chief Racine and Community Development Director Stamey.
Standard cost/parking space is $4,000. However, by scheduling the
asphalt work while the contractor is in the vicinity, staff estimates
the project could be completed for $1,000. The entire Municipal parking
lot will be reviewed for potential re -design in the near future. The
Committee recommends acceptance of the proposal for the additional 5
parking spaces as presented, authorizing staff to proceed without delay.
MARYS LAKE 12" WATER LINE PROJECT - REOUEST PAYMENT APPROVAL OF CHANGE
ORDER.
A change order dated July 15, 1991 submitted by BT Construction in the
amount of $3,344.96 was presented. Additional expenditures were
incurred due to the Marys Lake Plant Contractor and Larimer County.
Staff anticipates that the County will provide approximately $850 toward
the road base and asphalt along Marys Lake Road. The total contract,
including this change order is $278,774.46, $80,000 less than budgeted.
The Committee recommends payment approval of the change order as
submitted.

WATER DEPARTMENT EQUIPMENT - REQUEST AUTHORIZATION TO PURCHASE.
Staff requested authorization to purchase chlorine disinfection
equipment for the Fall River Plant at a cost of $1,540, and trench
shoring safety equipment for a low bid price of $7,274. Both items were
included in the 1991 Budget. The Committee recommends staff be
authorized to purchase the equipment for a total expenditure of $8,814.
WATER DEPARTMENT FINANCIAL PLAN UPDATE - REOUEST AUTHORIZATION TO ACCEPT
RMC SCOPE OF SERVICES.
In 1989, Rocky Mountain Consultants prepared a Financial Plan for the
Water Department. Funds were budgeted in 1991 to update the Plan to
include options/recommendations for 1991-1995. The scope of services to
update the Plan is $3,500. The Committee recommends acceptance of RMC's
proposal as presented, suggesting.RMC review potential customer charges
for undeveloped property without a tap (where water is available) in the
Tap Fee Study currently underway.
REPORTS.
The Committee reviewed the Citizen Service Response and Monthly Water
Reports for June.
By using the newly -purchased SCADA system, staff submitted a graph
indicating turbidity levels in the Glacier Creek Plant after
rehabilitation which are 50 times less than State requirements. The
rehabilitation project is complete, was under budget, and very
successful. The Committee and staff expressed their appreciation to the
Water Department for their exemplary work.
A draft copy of the State Highway Department's 5-year Highway Program of
Projects was reviewed. Estes Park's two projects (portions of Highway
7 and 34) are currently being planned in '94-'95. Additional
information will be presented as received.
The Public Works Department has been presented with a second place award
from the National Safety Council. The competitive award program is
designed to promote accident prevention by providing award recognition
for a good safety performance. The Committee applauded Department
employees for their outstanding safety record.
Current projects: the Augmentation Plan is 30% complete; work has begun
on the Marys Lake Water Treatment Plant construction; the Marys Lake
Water Line Project is 99% complete; the Strong Avenue vault is 65%
complete; the Financial Plan, Tap Fee and Raw Water Studies will be
completed August 26th; and the Petroleum Contamination Project is

Conference Center construction is within budget and nearing completion.
If warranted, the Contractor will receive a bonus if a Certificate of
Occupancy is issued by the end of July.
The Committee expressed their appreciation to the Department in
assisting in the Woman's Club Book and Bake Sale.
Due to the potential increase in parking space demand on Election Day
(August 6), staff will suggest all Municipal and Library Building
employees avoid parking in both sections of the Municipal Parking Lot.
The Committee stressed that potential limitations on the lot should be
carried out in a reasonable manner.
