COORS CLASSIC - INFORMATIONAL MEETING:
Barry Myers/Chamber of Commerce Advertising Committee and Ken
Schwartz/Coors Classic appeared before the Committee to discuss
the upcoming Coors Classic Bicycle Race scheduled Thursday,
August 20, 1987. Mr. Myers reported that pursuant to the
Classic's request, the Chamber Advertising Committee increased
their 1987 Budget to sponsor the event from $8,000 to $10,000.
The Chamber Advertising Committee has expressed concern in the
1987 rate to publish a full -page ad in the Spectator's Guide
which is $2,640. Advertising in the Souvenir Magazine was
previously free to the Chamber Advertising Committee; this
advertising is no longer available. Mr. Schwartz presented
informational material outlining the race course which is the
same course used in 1986. Various circuit and criterium races
have been eliminated to operate the Classic in the "european
style." There is no change in the women's program; however, the
men will only finish a 74-mile road race in Estes Park. The
Committee reviewed staff comments from the 1986 Classic and
recommends the following items be incorporated into the 1987
Contract:
1. "Roving Concessionaires", including Souvenir Magazine
sales, will not be allowed.
2. The VIP Sponsor stage area will be allowed to serve a
malt beverage; however, Coors Classic Marshals will
ensure such beverage is contained to the stage area.
3. Parking Lot #4 (185 Moraine Ave.) and #5 (Wiest - center
and west end) will be designated for support vehicles.
Merchants are to be notified, in writing, of the parking
designation by race personnel.
4. The use of bleechers will be eliminated.
5. Use of the Town's "bucket truck" will not be allowed.
6. The "Certificate of InsuranceII and Contract will be
provided to the Town in a timely manner, preferably at
least 30 days prior to the race.
Suggestions for improvement of the event included a buffer zone
at the right turn on Elkhorn Avenue to contain participants on
the course; delineating pedestrian crosswalks - allowing pedes-
trians to cross the course when participants have cleared the
area; programming several announcements on the public address

system advising spectators to safeguard all landscaped areas
(Town personnel will again be charged with ensuring such areas
are protected); and hasten all clean-up efforts to allow
east -bound vehicular access as soon as possible following the
race. Additional technical aspects will be addressed during an
organizational meeting between Coors Classic personnel, Chamber
Advertising representative and the Police Department to be held
in the future.
POLICE DEPARTMENT MONITORING OF ALARMS - DISCUSSION:
Pattie Hanson/West Park Pharmacy addressed the Committee indicat-
ing her concern of relocating her business alarm to a private
security company without her authorization. Ms. Hanson was also
invoiced by Mountain Bell for such a relocation. Charles Duscha,
representing the Estes Park Medical Center voiced similar
concerns. The Committee advised the Police Department notified
the owner of the alarm monitoring system of the Ordinance and
requested the board be removed. The Committee also expressed
regret in the company's neglect in notifying their clients.
Bob and Ken Porter appeared before the Committee appealing the
Town's Ordinance whereby the Police Department would no longer
monitor bank alarms. The Ordinance was adopted July 22, 1986 and
stated the Police Department would discontinue the monitoring
service June 1, 1987. Mr. Porter stated all financial insti-
tutions are required by law to have alarms and a written Security
Policy. A list of municipalities currently monitoring bank
alarms include Aspen, Berthoud, Glenwood Springs, Loveland and
Vail. Automatic dialing systems involving private security
companies is of primary concern. Acting Chief Elste advised the
Department could monitor certain alarms by installing another
monitor on the communication center; such installation would be
performed at the customer's expense. Town Attorney White advised
the Town could differentiate between certain business mandated by
law to have alarm systems. Following discussion, the Committee
recommends this item be tabled to allow the newly -appointed Chief
of Police an opportunity to review and advise.
ESTES PARK TROLLEY CORPORATION - DISCUSSION:
Representatives of the aforementioned corporation appeared before
the Committee to discuss the proposed route of the trollies.
Four (4) routes are proposed, using five (5) vehicles. Only
those pick-up/drop-off points proposed on public property would
be scrutinized by the Town. Consensus of the Committee was to
review the proposed route schedule and the Special Review Appli-
cation which will be submitted to the Planning Commission. The
Committee recommends Town staff and Manager Gardner work together
to present additional information for review by the Committee.
RADIO EQUIPMENT - AUTHORIZATION TO PURCHASE:
Acting Police Chief Elste presented a bid submitted by Motorola
for the purchase of two (2) Syntor-X Mobile scanner radio units
for $1,344/each and (2) MT-500 Portable radio units for
$914/each. Funds are available in the 1987 Budget for said
purchase. The Committee recommends approval of the request,
authorizing Acting Chief Elste to purchase the radio equipment.
ESTES PARK VOLUNTEER FIRE DEPARTMENT:
Address Identification Plaques - Ordinance: Fire Chief Rumley
requested adoption of an Ordinance requiring uniform placement of
address identification plaques inside Town Limits and surrounding
areas of Larimer County. Adoption would be subject to approval
of the Board of Trustees and Larimer County Commissioners. The
Committee recommends referring the request to Town Attorney White
for review and comment.
