RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
Public Safety Committee
July 24, 1980
Committee: Chairman Graves, Trustees Burgess and Wagner
Attending: All
Also Attending: Mayor Tregent, Town Administrator Hill, Police Chief Ault
JAIL STANDARDS:
Chief Ault briefly reviewed with the Committee the proposed state stan-
dards for jails. He said the Town's jails basically meet the standards
and any changes required as a result of the adoption of the proposed
standards would be minor.
SENATE BILL 55 REGARDING HAZARDOUS MATERIALS:
The Committee reviewed Senate Bill 55 regarding the control of hazardous
materials. The bill, which became effective on July 1, 1980, requires
the Town to designate an Emergency Response Authority and for the
designated authority to prepare a local plan for emergencies concerning
hazardous materials. The Committee recommends the Estes Park Volunteer
Fire Department be appointed.
EAST RIVERSIDE DRIVE AND ROCKWELL STREET CROSSWALK:
A request was received for a crosswalk to be located at the intersection
of East Riverside Drive and Rockwell Street. Town Engineer Widmer and
Police Chief Ault reviewed the situation on site and recommend the north
side of the intersection as the best location for a crosswalk. The
Committee recommends locating a crosswalk on the north side of this
intersection.
CONTINENTAL LOUNGE IN THE ALLEY MALL LIQUOR LICENSE:
Chief Ault read his letter of November 13, 1979 regarding the liquor
license renewal of the Continental Lounge in the Alley Mall. In his
letter he pointed out that several incidents had occurred at the
Continental Lounge and that the licensee was advised to follow Regula-
tion 19 B more closely regarding the conduct of his establishment.
Chief Ault did recommend approval of the liquor license renewal pending
further incident. Since that letter, there have been four documented
incidents at the Continental Lounge. The Committee directed Chief Ault
to work with the Town Attorney in preparation of a hearing before the
local licensing authority.
HORSE PATROL:
A petition containing 28 signatures was received requesting a horse
patrol in downtown Estes Park in the summer. The Committee discussed
the proposal and decided to take it under advisement for further study.
POLICE DEPARTMENT PHOTO LAB:
Police Chief Ault reported on estimated costs to expand the Police
Department photo lab from black and white film processing to color film
processing. Conversion of the lab would cost $400 to $930. In-house
processing of color film would run about $4 to $5 per film of 20 prints
whereas the Police Department is currently paying $10.61 for color film
processing. The Committee recommends not converting the photo lab to
color film processing at this time.
There being no further business, the meeting adjourned.
