STANLEY PARK CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM:
Bob Scott and officers of the Estes Park Horse Show and Rodeo Committee
presented their proposed 8 year capital improvement program for Stanley
Park. They described the various new buildings, proposed locations
and estimated costs for the entire project. The Committee requested
a more detailed account be submitted of the future maintenance including
insurance and utility costs.
The Horse Show Committee also presented plans for new announcer/press
booth at the arena. The estimated cost of the booth is $5,000. The
Committee recommends approval.
LOW COST HOUSING:
Joyce Ellenbecker of the Larimer County Housing Authority reviewed with
the Committee the proposed low cost housing project. She explained
that the project would allow a great deal of flexibility in determining
what the qualifications of the renters would be, the amount of rent,
and the manner of management. The County Housing Authority could manage
the project if the Town did not want to be directly involved in the
management. The Committee was divided in its opinion regarding proceeding
with the project. It was agreed that seasonal housing is a crucial
need in Estes Park but there was disagreement as to whether it was the
responsibility of the business community to provide housing for its
employees or the Town's responsibility. The Committee decided to resub-
mit the matter to the Board of Trustees without a recommendation.
MUNICIPAL BUILDING TELEPHONE SYSTEM:
Several private telephone companies are marketing telephone equipment
below the rental costs of Mountain Bell equipment. The Committee author-
ized the Town Administrator to contact various private telephone com-
panies to obtain information and proposals on a system for the Municipal
Building.
BEAVER POINT ANNEXATION:
Public Works Director Widmer reported that the proposed Beaver Point
annexation has been expanded to include some parcels north of the
junction of Marys Lake Road and U.S. Highway 36. Almost all of the
property owners have been contacted and 23 out of 29 property owners
favor the annexation. The annexation will probably require two phases
in order to comply with state law. The Committee authorized the Public
Works Director to obtain proposals for surveying and monumenting the
exterior boundary of the Beaver Point annexation.
REPORTS:
The Stanley Park sewer line project should be completed by early January.
Public Works Director Widmer reported that he has been contacting the
four property owners affected by a possible hospital bypass and has
• •received -varied opinions. He will continue working with these property
Towners `regard'i4g the bypass.
