DENVER RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Public Works 1/May:.19, 1977 Committee: Attending: Also Attending: Absent: Committee Chairman Dannels, Trustees Petrocine and Sutter Chairman Dannels, Trustees Petrocine and Sutter Town Administrator Hill, Director of Public Works Van Horn None STANLEY PARK BUILDINGS: Pete Kempner representing the Horse Show and Rodeo Committee requested to move three buildings into Stanley Park. One building, approximately 10' x 12' in size, would be a trophy and equipment storage room to be located underneath the southwest corner of the grandstand. Due to the structural supports of the grandstand, the proposed location was ques- tioned and the Committee directed Director of Public Works Van Horn to review the proposed location. TALLANT PARK: The Committee reviewed the proposed and actual expenditures for the Tallant Park development project. $103,395 of the $120,000 budgeted has been expended to date. This figure includes the $6,000 accel/decel lane which will be covered instead under the street improvements fund. The remaining amount to be spent on Tallant Park is approximately $22,600. The Committee directed Public Works Director Van Horn to submit an esti- mate of the amount of funding required to complete Tallant Park and also a recommended list of priorities for the remaining projects. CETA - SUMMER EMPLOYMENT: The Committee recommends participating again this summer in the fed- erally funded C.E.T.A. program which would allow the Town to hire up to four young people qualifying for the program. PARKING LOT #2 - LANDSCAPING: The grass strips around the parking lot across from Bond Park require sodding every spring due to the heavy use. Director Van Horn suggested as an alternative a crisscross turf block which is designed to allow grass growth in heavily used areas. The Committee recommends testing the turf blocks on a strip adjacent to the ticket booth and sodding the remaining strips. REPORTS: OFF-STREET PARKING - The Committee discussed further possible future off-street parking acquisitions. MORAINE AVENUE SIDEWALK - Since no bids were received for the curb, gutter and sidewalk construction at the intersection of Moraine Avenue and Crags Drive, the Federal Disaster Administra- tion authorized the Town to negotiate a contract on the project. The Committee authorized Director Bill Van Horn to negotiate a contract with Tom's Concrete that is within the budgeted amount. There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned.
