PARKING - EAST ELKHORN AVENUE.
Police Chief Racine requested the parking be removed from East
Elkhorn Avenue beginning May 27, 1988 at 12:00 Midnight and
replaced Monday, September 19, 1988. The Department will adver-
tise the parking enforcement in the local newspaper and radio
station. The Public Works Department is responsible for placing
of the bollards. The Committee recommends approval of the
request to remove parking on East Elkhorn Avenue effective at
12:00 Midnight May 27, 1988 and replacing parking September 19,
1988.
ROOFTOP FAIR & RODEO COMMITTEE - PARADE PERMIT.
Chief Racine presented an application for a parade permit submit-
ted by the Rooftop Fair and Rodeo Committee for a parade
scheduled July 22, 1988. One parade will be held during the
Rooftop Rodeo this year. The Committee recommends approval of
the Rooftop Fair & Rodeo Parade Permit.
COMPUTER TERMINAL - REQUEST AUTHORIZATION TO REPLACE UNIT.
Chief Racine reported one the computer terminals is no longer in
operation and requested authorization to replace the unit with an
"Altos V" display terminal. A price estimate, offered by a local
dealer, is $750. The expenditure will cause a reallocation of
funds; however, the expenditure is within the 1988 Police Budget.
The Committee recommends approval of the request.
ESTES PARK VOLUNTEER FIRE DEPARTMENT.
Training Materials - Request Authorization to Purchase. Fire
Chief Rumley advised training materials, including a video tape
and handbook are available for $800/set. Chief Rumley stated the
Department has reviewed the video tape and handbook; in their
opinion, the novice fireman could reap a great deal of benefit
from this training aide. The firm supplying the materials has
given the Department authorization to reproduce the handbook;
however, the video tape cannot be duplicated. Adequate funds are
available in the 1988 Fire Department Budget for such an
expenditure. The Committee recommends the request be approved.
"Open Burning" Ordinance - Discussion. Chief Rumley reported the
ordinance banning open burning inside Town Limits was inadver-
tently omitted from the Municipal Code during a revision. The
Fire Department is requesting this ordinance be reinstated.
Following discussion, the Committee recommends the request be
approved, directing Town Attorney White to prepare the ordinance,
submitting it to the Board of Trustees May 10, 1988.
