FIRE DEPARTMENT TROPHY CASE - REQUEST TO PLACE IN MUNICIPAL
BUILDING LOBBY:
Helen Rumley appeared before the Committee requesting permission
to place a trophy case (which the wives commissioned) in the
lobby of the Municipal Building which was built for the Estes
Park Volunteer Fire Department. The case will be locked at all
times and maintained by the Fire Department wives. The Committee
recommends approval of Ms. Rumley's request to place the Fire
Department Trophy Case in the lobby area of the Municipal Build-
ing.
CEMETERY AGREEMENT - DISCUSSION:
The Committee met with the following representatives of the Estes
Valley Memorial Gardens, Inc.: Catherine Haughey, Russell
Hanson, Walter Gurley and Robert Meyer. Estes Valley Memorial
Gardens is proposing to build a cemetery on a 6-acre site located
at the southeast corner of the Town's Fish Hatchery Property.
The 6-acre parcel is a portion of the 80 acres the Town now owns
at the Fish Hatchery. Approximately 800/1,200 people would be
accommodated per acre of land. An informal survey was taken
which indicated 274 residents were in favor of a cemetery in
Estes Park. The same number of residents stated they would
indeed purchase burial plots. Robert Meyer and Tom Brown are
donating their legal and surveying services. Further discussion
followed with the Committee recommending this matter be taken
under advisement, proceeding as expeditiously as possible.
